If you have any special requests for boat times please ask, we try and be flexible IF at all possible. The reason for no posted mid morning boats is because the Dive Base frequently use both boats for diving & snorkeling trips. There is a surcharge of RM120 for all nonscheduled boat trips.

When the sea is a litttle choppy it may be unsafe to land on the beach at Sea Gypsy in which case we will land on the protected side of Sibu at Coconut Village. This means a 10 minute boat ride and a 15 minute walk through the jungle to reach Sea Gypsy, our staff will carry the luggage.

For very large departures & arrivals on public holidays, for all school trips or in stormy weather it is our practice to hire a twin hulled 50 seat air conditioned ferry which can only operate in and out of Coconut Village.

Please note: our boat drivers wait 15 minutes or so for late comers. If you miss your selected boat and ask us to send a boat back to Tg. Leman to collect you before the next scheduled boat service the charge will be RM120 in addition to the regular boat fare to cover the cost of the fuel. We do not guarantee that a boat will be available due to Dive Base activities.
