Test the CLEAR Beaut waters of Rawa
Fudge Says: It's a joy to be swimming in clean waters, but it's a SPECIAL treat to be indulging in them by yourself with the beautiful sounds of birds as your backdrop and an amazingly embracing sky reflecting the blue of the sea - the waters around the east coast of peninsular Malaysia...
Just jump from the jetty or try the slide.
stereo_cyrus Says: Forget your age and try the water slide with the children or simply just jump from the jetty. Water is extremely clear from the jetty with fishes swimming around. But don't jump during the low tide or u may come back from your holidays on the wheelchair which i don't think...
Climbing to the top of the hill
stereo_cyrus Says: there's a flight of stairs follow by some rocky path to the top of the hill with a full view of the island. Takes about 20 mins for normal pace and 30 mins if u are walking slower as there are no hand bar or railing by the side of the cliff. Would recommend to go when the...
stereo_cyrus Says: Though most of the corals near the shores are dead, but u can snorkel further out like 20 feet away from shore, sea urchins, live corals, harmless reef sharks lots of colourful coral fish and of course the famous NEMO. Rawa safari is charging $5 ringgit per hour for...
poohpoot Says: There are a couple of things that you can do there....the usual few: kayaking, fishing, snorkeling, diving or island hopping...but sad to say...me and my friends did none of the above! we just swim out with outr googles if you consider that as snorkelling.explore the island...

Itina Says: Explore around the island. There is a small hill behind the resorts. You can use the stairs behind Safaris Resort & get to the top of the hill. Good for sunrise & sunset pictures from the top. Also walk to the end of the island using the bridge built by Safaris Resort. Long...
RAWA ISLAND SAFARIS RESORT: UNSAFE; MANAGEMENT & STAFF DON'T CARE
Kalleep Says: My wife suffered a serious accident at this resort. The staff & management showed absolutely no care nor compassion and were hardly even willing to assist us.We now understand that earlier that year, another guest suffered an accident in the same circumstances.Clearly, the...
Fudge Says: Rawa safaris has everything you'd need for your holiday - it can be expensive by local standards, but ok by international standards.It has a buffet style atrium where meals are served and tables of 4 seats adorn the interior. Outside there are bench-tables on the sand and if...
Rawa Safasri: Only Resort in Pulau Rawa
stereo_cyrus Says: I stayed in the waterfront chalet. that is the only waterfront they have for two pax. The rest of the water chalet are bigger and more suitable for families. Chalet on stilts just above the water with a complete sea-facing view. You can actually see coral fishes from the...
rawa: Only restuarant in pulau rawa
stereo_cyrus Says: There's only one restuarant in pulau rawa. They serve buffet most of the time. But when there are lesser guest, especially during the off-peak season, the restuarant will change menu to a-la-carte. Though choices aren't too plenty but generally food is still ok. Restuarant...
Restless-in-kl Says: When the sun sets, it doesn't mean the diving stops. There's always night dives. Rawa is perfect for this as the beach provide a great and easy shore dive and there are loads to see. It's quite shallow as well so you can stay longer in the water. My jaw actually ached at the...
Itina Says: The 2 resorts serve liquors. But Le Club Rawa (smaller resort) has cheaper liquors. Very dark on the way back from Le Club Rawa to Safaris Resort ... although both resorts are just next to each other. There are a number of dogs guarding Le Club Rawa. They are quite friendly...
Fudge Says: The boat ride from Mersing to Rawa island costs between RM 40-RM60 by speedboat (I dont know is there is any other boat cos i always take the speedboat). As there is only one resort on the island, they will arrange for the boat so make sure it's included in your cost of...
stereo_cyrus Says: After reaching the top of the hill, my wife actually sat on a grown centipede! It seems that we are intruding into its privacy. So the next time u sit on anything, check first. Luckily she was wearing thick jeans material or she may have a bigger butt!
Renee44 Says: We were told that we were not allowed to bring food into the island as food would be sold at the hotel restaurant. However, many others brought food and we soon found out the reason why! For our dinner on Sat, we were not allowed to order a la carte but were forced to pay...
Fudge Says: A walk up the hill (it's the only one) on the island's tip is rewarding. The views are stunning but do bring your water bottle with you eventhough it's less than 45 min walk.
