Guided Snorkeling Day Trip – Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park

Morning Meet-Up

Your day begins at DBKK Jetty, right in the heart of Kota Kinabalu. At 08:45 sharp, the crew greets you in front of the jetty counter poster—easy to find, impossible to miss. Trimaran boats, 33 feet long and steady on the water, wait to carry you into the marine park.

Into the Marine Park

Three snorkeling sites unfold across Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, each with its own rhythm of coral and current. First-timers find comfort in the guidance of a PADI professional, while experienced travelers chase clarity in deeper reefs. Masks, fins, and snorkels are provided; wetsuits and life jackets are available if you prefer extra ease.

Island Lunch

Between swims, you pause on a tropical island. Lunch is served with choices from a menu, including vegetarian options. The salt dries on your skin as you eat, the sea breeze carrying the scent of the reef.

Small Group Comfort

This is a shared adventure, but never crowded. Groups are capped at twelve, ages 18 to 88, moving together through the protected waters. The pace is relaxed, the atmosphere secure, the marine world alive with color.
