any beaches that i can just go snorkling from the beach it self? wonder how much to
rent a snorkle there since bringing my own would just add to the luggage.hmm. (none unless you are interested to see ikan bilis)
2) underwaterworld - been to Aquaria + diving , so i'll skip this too
3) Eagle feeding - since i dont think it's good for the ecology, i'll skip this too (don understand how this affects the ecology)

include stay liao?

Hmm pilotHans, pulau payar alot bad review?
