faridah Says: The place is good for snorkelling if i had gone there during non monsoon season. The reason i went there during the monsoon is that they had a great promo during that time.. so no snorkelling for us. But during normal season that is march to october, u can book a snorkelling...
xuessium Says: The beaches around the island is littered with shells aplenty and they come in various shapes, colours and sizes. You get cones, bivalves and spirals, as long as you are willing to dig around a little more. Great for folks who loves collecting seashells!
Go snorkelling off Pulau Sibu Kukus
xuessium Says: So the corals are dying or dead. Heck, you can still snorkel; just don't expect much! At low tide, Pulau Sibu Kukus does have a long sand spit surfacing out of the water; great place to catch some sun rays!
hassan_abu Says: If you want to save money, have lunch at Tanjung Leman Jetty before you board the boat to Sibu Island Resort. They have Nasi Lemak, Nasi Goreng, Nasi Campur, Mee Goreng, Burger Ramly, etc at very cheap prices. You better buy extra bottles of Mineral Water as the tap water at...
faridah Says: All meals inclusive in the package.. So it was buffet but nothing special, mostly rice.The ala carte menu is very expensive.. so its wise to stick with the food they provide.The food was kinda the same througout the 4 days.. The dessert is worse, its all rotated so You end...
xuessium Says: Here's a hint. By the 3rd morning, my traveling mate refused to eat the breakfast. Food was kinda bland, vegetables for the salad looked dying and grey and I heard several years on, the situation had not really changed. Well, it's a monopoly. Either you eat or you starve....
hassan_abu Says: Get seranaded while having dinner at Lumba-Lumba Cafe.These are the only entertainers in this island. You will see them everyday during your stay here. They will welcome you when you arrive, sing for you during dinner, perform for you in the nightclub, and sing farewell when...

There is one souvenior shop but nothing outstanding here.. You can get t shirts and small souveniors here. You can also check out theshops on mainland, Tg leman and get some tidbits or stuffs, presumably cheaper. The resort supply you with a bottle of drinking water, more you have to pay. So..either u can pay at the resort which costs a few $ more or you can buy them at ferry terminal.
What to buy: I did not buy anything except icecreams for the kids from the shop.

this is still Malaysia where Islam is still the dominant religion. Do respect the religious believes of the workers at the sole resort here, many of them Muslims and behave decently. Suntanning topless or naked is a no-no.

hassan_abu Says: The tap water here is not safe for drinking. And a bottle of 1L mineral water costs RM4.50 (that's about more than Sing $2.00, the exchange rate was about $1 to RM 227).\Even after boiling, the water still taste slighly salty.An alternative, you could buy lots of mineral...
xuessium Says: This is Islamic Malaysia. The act of it is against the law. I hardly think getting thrown into jail will greatly improve your holidays!

Since, this little trip was part of the package, we just followed it.
Not too bad, if this is your first time snorkelling. Got to see corals and various of saltwater fishes like the blue angel fish, tiger fish, and the famous Nemo (clownfish).
Unique Suggestions: At least if you have an underwater camera, you could still catch a few pictures and show them as your trophy.
