Good to swim with big wave
Oct 2020
We were hoping to snorkel and see the turtles but only quiet beach, big rock and nice white sand. Better bring your own food and drink if you want to spend some time there.

Very nice beach
Oct 2019 • Couples
Beach was awesome, near the jungle and with very clear water. Snorkeling was really good here. You can go by taxi boat and ask to be caught up at one precise hour. We advise to go in the morning, because after 12:00 there are more people.

Beautiful for snorkeling and relaxing
Aug 2019 • Friends
This island is not like Long Beach. It’s more quiet and not much activities. It’s very good for snorkeling and I’ve seen only two big turtles during my visit. You can rent or bring own snorkeling equipment.

However when jumping off/on at the jetty into the ocean, pls be careful as you can get hurt by the edges of the jetty.

Amazing experience to swim with the turtle
Jun 2019 • Family
We never expected the turtle to be so near with us. You can laterally have a swim side by side with them. At first we were so scared to go near them as one of them is really huge. But the guide told us that they won’t bite. Then my youngest daughter aged 15 requested to go down again to touch the turtle. We use go pro to record all the video. It’s going to be a fun memory for all of us

Good Spot for Turtle
Apr 2019 • Family
Ask for tour boat captain to bring you the turtle cove area. which you could see real life turtle resting in the seabed. Dont touch the turtle let it in nature. Go to Rawa Island for island hopping & scuba diving. My kids love to scuba dive there. Many fish, back to nature.

Stunning place
Apr 2018 • Couples
Stunning - try to be there early or end of the day as it gets crowded very fast with Chinese groups not really caring.
