−06 m · Why us

We handle the boatthe hotelthe tripsyour questions

We live on the island. We know the skippers, the hotels and the spots where turtles come up to breathe. You give us your dates, we build the trip, and you always have someone to talk to — we're a French-run agency based here, and we answer in English too.

Out on the water, the local crews take you — the ones who have been sailing here forever. We stay on the organisation and on the phone.

−08 m · What we arrange

One person to talk to

01

Boats & transfers

From the Kuala Besut jetty to your beach, and between the islands. We book every crossing.

02

Your hotel

From a guesthouse right on the water to a more comfortable resort, on Kecil or Besar. We pick it with you.

03

Days at sea

Snorkelling, turtles, coral and Redang. Half days, full days or private trips.

04

The gear

Mask, snorkel and vest are waiting on board. Just bring your swimsuit and reef-safe sunscreen.

    The trip, the date and how many of you. The places offered are the ones actually free on our partner's boats.

    Online, by card or Apple Pay, through Stripe. Both the deposit and the balance are shown before you pay.

    A booking reference and a summary by email, with the exact amount of ringgit to bring.

  4. 04

    On the day, you pay the balance

Before you go

Getting here

Fly, drive, then sail

Fly to Kota Bharu, about 1 h 30 by road to Kuala Besut, then 45 min by speedboat. We arrange the transfer.

When to come

Book all year round

Book whenever you like. Trips run during the summer season, from March to October, when the water is calm and clear. From November to February it's monsoon season and the islands slow down.

Good to know

Car-free islands

No roads, few cash machines: bring ringgit in cash, for your trip balance as well as for meals.

In two parts. When you book, you pay a deposit online in euros, by card or Apple Pay. On the day of the trip, you pay the balance in cash, in ringgit, directly to the local crew. Both amounts are shown before you pay and repeated in your confirmation email.

The balance is fixed for each trip, per person: RM60 for the Short Escape, RM70 for the Grand Tour, RM80 for Off to Rawa, RM120 for the Special Day and RM180 for the Redang Excursion. Add lunch.

The price shown on the trip, gear included: it is the online deposit plus the cash balance. Lunch is paid locally. There is nothing else on top.

The online deposit is non-refundable if you cancel or do not attend, subject to mandatory consumer rights; the cash balance is never due. If we cancel (weather, sea, safety) and the alternative date we offer doesn't suit you, the deposit is refunded in full. Details in the cancellation policy.

Yes, especially in summer: places are limited by the size of the boats. For Redang, book the day before at the latest.

Mask, snorkel and vest are on board. Bring your swimsuit and reef-safe sunscreen.

The local crews take you out — they know every reef. We handle the organisation and stay reachable before and during your stay.

No. Breaks are at the village or on the beach, where several small local restaurants are waiting. Budget a few euros each.

Yes. The spots are shallow and the crew stays in the water with you.

Safety first: we change the route or offer you another date, free of charge. If no date suits you, the online deposit is refunded in full.
