It was a smooth experience with klook. The klook van picked us up timely from the pickup point, dropped us near the Jetty. Then their boat operator helped us explore the two islands. He was very helpful.In addition, maintained time wisely as well. Loved the arrangement.

One of the best experience of my trip so far. My 3 and half year kid loved it as well. Proper dreamy walk! Booked the tickets from Klook but they didn’t mention that these tickets were for Malaysians. The lady at the counter changed it to foreigners ticket (by paying few more bucks to them). Lady at counter said that Klook tickets are for Malaysians.only.
