Reviews: Mengalum Island snorkeling 1-day tour includes lunch
Guest User2025-08-01
It's a fantastic island, a pineal room. I got a lot of life shots. It's not easy to take a boat for an hour, but if you look at the beautiful island, all this effort will be rewarded. However, most of them are Chinese. I hope you consider this.★

Reviews: Authentic Mengalum Island 1-day tour - optional scuba diving + optional mangrove/ multiple bases available
Guest User2026-01-31
The boat trip takes about an hour and a half each way. Those sitting in the front are more prone to seasickness and vomiting, while those in the back avoid this problem, although the very last row is more likely to get wet. Aside from the long journey, the seawater on the island is incredibly clear. Even non-swimmers can gradually learn the ropes with the instructor's help. The product descriptions and actual products match. For those who don't want to pay extra, you can prepare your own supplies beforehand to avoid additional charges. The staff are very friendly, and the food is quite delicious. Overall, it was a good trip.About
