One of the “untouched” and REMOTE paradise of Islands HIDDEN in the southern part of Malaysia. Come join me for a Guaranteed fruitful Adventure. Our purpose is to trek to a waterfall that is seen by less than 305 people (excluding their local 80 residents), have fun and enjoy the serenity its provides and then to immerse ourselves in the clear turquoise water where we will snorkel our time away. Beautiful hard and soft corals can be seen there. Of course fishes are happily swimming there too.
My plan:
1) Private Coach ride to Jetty Point
2) Board Private Speed Boat to offshore island
3) An hour plus speed boat ride to Tinggi Waterfall
4) Hike to waterfall – splash splash splash
4) Swim & Chill out at the pearl white sand beach
5) Snorkel at the Crystal Clear Marine Park
6) Rest and Relax (Overnight in our chalet)
7) Snorkel at another paradise islands off South China Sea ( Another 40mins from our chalet)
