Reviews 4. Robert W. We are avid snorkelers and were very disappointed with this tour. Having purchased tours via Viator before, we thought we would enjoy ourselves. It is a misnomer to consider this site a marine park. After a two-hour trip in the hull of a dilapidated ferry, we were escorted from the Langkawi Coral onto a platform at am across from the beach and could not reach the beach until pm when a small boat operated by LC would take us to a floating pier to walk to the beach.
If the floating pier were attached to the platform, we could have walked directly to the beach independently. The beach is so small that it can not accommodate many people. So, we were held captive until pm while we sat and watched other tourists arrive and were taken directly to the floating pier and stayed on the beach. The amount of tourists on the beach have to be controlled and is what is known as crowd control.
Unfortunate for us, we were not scheduled to be taken to the pier until pm and depart at pm - an hour!! We paid to waste our time. Also, the lunch that was included was horrible! Malaysia is known as a gastronomic paradise but LC's food was an inherent disappointment too. Why is Viator offering this excursion. The company is not acting in the best interest of the tourist. Helpful Helpful. Sudeep J. The snorkeling experience is just ok. Very crowded place with about people trying to snorkel and scuba dive at the same venue.
Not many species of fishes and the corals are all dead. Beach is average! Overall i would not rate this as a worthwhile experience Great water for Arno B. Very good trip. Great water for snorkeling. Pity there wasn't a smoking ban on the trip.
Brian R. After reading such positive reviews on here, we thought this trip was a must do when in Penang. We were not disappointed. There were lots of fish and the water was crystal clear. It was busy, but we never felt too crowded. It is a long way from Penang, but worth the day trip. Helpful Helpful 1 traveler found this review helpful. Margaret M.

If you are only visiting islands at the west side of the peninsula or are not able to go to visit the islands at the east side due to the monsoon period which lasts from October till March in that region , then you have the alternative to go to the islands of Langkawi and Penang where you will be able to snorkel around a couple of very small islands.
The Pulau Payar Marine Park lies between both islands, a small but marvelous coral area. Tourists can stay for the day, however it is an uninhabited island and there is no accommodation available on the island. There is a daily tour to Pulau Payar, this tour includes pickup from Penang hotels or hotels in Langkawi. A Pulau Payar snorkeling trip usually lasts a full day.
