Highly recommend the Mermaid Island day trip! It features a fully Chinese-speaking guide, complete snorkeling equipment, a buffet lunch with some fresh seafood like shrimp and crab, and free beach activities including a bubble machine. Excellent value for money!★

Reviews: Lazy Cat self-operated upgraded Sky Mirror - Mantanani Islands one-day tour - optional mangrove forest - optional deep diving
Guest User2025-12-29
I bought the Mangrove Island + Mangrove Forest package; you absolutely must buy the package, otherwise going to the mangrove forest alone is too much of a hassle, requiring a 1.5-hour drive each way. The overall itinerary was well-organized, with door-to-door pick-up and drop-off.
Mangrove Island is beautiful and worth a visit.
I didn't see any proboscis monkeys at the mangrove forest, but there were many fireflies, and the guide was engaging, making for a pleasant experience.★

Great! The tour guides are very caring and will help you see the bag for you to play. Remember to download whats app The tour guide will contact you the day before, and then you can rest assured to give it to him all day. The weather was very good that day and took us to see the sunset. Very beautiful★
