Sample itinerary

Day 1 - Kota Kinabalu/Tunku Abdul Rahman Park (TARP)

Wake up and pack up for your day out in the big blues of Borneo. A vehicle awaits you at the Hotel Lobby, whisking you straight to the jetty.

Upon arrival at the jetty, your catamaran dive boat will bring you to your first dive spot within radius of Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park.

After a mandatory safety briefing, the bubbly action begins. Your Dive Master will guide you through-out your first dive – keeping a keen eye on underwater critters and of course, your safety.

There will be a surface interval between your first and second dive, in which you’ll have plenty of time to chill-out on the upper-deck. Soak in the scenic splendors, get a tan and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea.

Your dive-day-out continues as you proceed to the next diving point. Do not hesitate to tell your Dive Master what you look forward to seeing, he will try his best to grant your wishes. But keep in mind, no guarantees okay!

All the fascinating sights must’ve worked up an appetite! Lunch-time awaits you at the nearby TARP islands.

It’s ‘Free & Easy’ for the rest of the day. Stretch out on sandy shores, enjoy a relaxing dip in the water.

Around mid-afternoon, you will bid goodbye and hop on a boat bringing you back to the mainland, where a vehicle awaits you and transport you back to your hotel.
