Great day trip option with kids - This day trip was seamless with pick up on time from our hotel. 30 min van trip, 20 min boat trip and then a great day snorkelling on this private island. Lunch was delicious. You can buy drinks on the island. There are a few stingers in the area but not painful like jelly fish. Glamping overnight here would be fun. The only down side was the staff on the trip didn’t communicate at all. One guide slept most of the van trip. Definitely value for money and a great experience in Borneo for my son and I.

Beautiful island experience with great snorkelling - Beautiful island with few people. Transport to the boat was on time. Boat journey was fun and took 15 to 20 minutes. Sunbeds available to relax on. Boat took us for one hour snorkelling on a reef a short distance from the shore. Lots of colourful fish. Lunch was cooked fresh and then more time for relaxing, exploring or swimming before the return journey.

Great snorkelling day trip - We were fortunate to have great weather on the day. Enjoyed the snorkelling by the boat. Saw loads of colourful fish, and I even saw clown fish. Our tour guide, Vince, was punctual, friendly, chatty, and gave us some information on things to do and see in KK. He also was great in informing us with the itinerary of the day.

A day in paradise. - Great time! The island is amazing, the water is beautiful, the experience was absolutely top notch. Keep in mind: the reef isn't the best looked after - some patches looking a big sad. But everything else was perfect.

Relaxing tour far from the crowds, highly recommend! - Such a relaxing tour, I would highly recommend! You get to visit a private island, at the time we went there were about 20-30 people on the whole island, feels like you get the whole island to yourself. Snorkelling was nice, felt very safe, ideal also for people who can’t swim. Lunch and snacks were delicious. There’s good facilities on the island like showers and toilets, a snack store. We got some pictures of us as well :) there are kayaks and sup boards you can use for free and some other equipment for rent. Ideal for solo travellers too :)

Good day out and different from other island hopping trips to more mainstream islands - This was a good trip. Schedule was however brought forward from what was advertised, we were picked up at 7.10am which was a tad early for us. It also finished earlier, leaving the island at 13.30/14.00. Food was ok, don't expect gourmet stuff and the afternoon tea snack was a bit rushed due to departure time. Guide, Nick, superfriendly and helpful. The island is nice because it's not crowded at all. Only 15-20 people there on the day. Snorkeling could have been better if water was clearer- but suspect it wasn't because of the rainy season. Overall would recommend, especially with kids as it's not too crowded and it's quite a relaxing half day tour (started at 7ish and got back to hotel by 3ish). The beach has some hamacs/ sun beds by the shade and whole experience is pretty chilled.

Beautiful island of Dinawan - The communication of the company and the pickup went quite well. I didnt like the transfer experience since it was speedy and not safe. The guide (he is also the driver) should remember that he is not alone and carrying the guests. Lots of brakes and bumps annoyed us alot. He was also like a guest enjoying the trip. No information, minimum contact. The island itself is beautiful. We really enjoyed our time there. The food was great, the sea was clear and warm. The island could take care of the garbage issue more seriously but it was not so bad. (couple of plastic bags and glasses in the sea) we prefer not doing the snorkeling because of the wind and strong current) but we feel quite lucky because of the sunny weather. There is a sweet cool wind on the island making you relaxed with the beautiful songs of the birds.

Nice day trip - Our pick up was punctual. Guide was lovely & professional. Had one 40 mins session of snorkelling and stayed on island until 2.30pm. Lunch & snacks were delicious. Resort itself very clean but move further down beach the plastic & trash is shocking - I know it’s a problem everywhere but think they should try and clear it and keep on top of clearing it regularly as puts you off snorkelling & swimming. Couldn’t see the clear kayak as advertised to see the ocean below but other kayaks and paddle boards available for free. Nice day.

Awful as they were a no show - We booked this tour very much looking forward to seeing the islands. We had limited days and couldn’t wait to see the islands. Unfortunately, however, they never showed up despite us having a confirmation email and being charged. We did get a refund but because we had other things booked the remaining days, we couldn’t do this at all. Very disappointed to have flown all the way there was Australia and not get to see this.
