Boat trip to Buntal and Santubong river

Dear all,

I would like to organize a boat trip for next week Thursday 29 Dec or Wednesday 4th Jan, leaving Buntal at 7 a.m. The trip will take around 3 hours and we are hoping to see the Stork-billed kingfisher, Brahminy kite, other birds, and perhaps dolphins, monkeys or crocodiles. But since it's not a zoo we can't guaranty any of these animals but for sure there will be birds.

The maximum number of people is 20, which is the maximum for the two available boat. The price depends on the number of people that join, and could be around RM60-80 pp. I need the payment in advance to be sure you're coming! Those who would like to come please send me an email before 25th Dec, saying which date you prefer.

For safety reasons this trip is not suitable for kids below 10 years. Priority will be given to MNS members. 
This is based on firtst come first serve base.

Cheers,

Cynthia Lobato
