Adventure junkies will definitely enjoy this tour as you get the chance to be up close with marine life. Snorkel in clear waters at Bamboo Island and Loh Samah Bay while you try to spot colorful fishes and coral reefs, and learn the importance of why we have to protect and preserve these natural wonders.
This tour will also bring you to Monkey Beach, the turf of the wild macaques that roam freely there.

After making a stop at Monkey Beach, you will visit Viking Cave where you get to see the well-preserved paintings of Scandinavian ships on the cave walls dating back to some 150 years ago!
