Island Tips - 2023
This is a
government charge which covers your entrance to the Marine and Conservation Park that Sibu Island is located
in. This is not the boat transfer that we charge for at the end of your stay.
Please purchase the jetty tickets at the three counters on the right hand side as you are arriving at the jetty; and
hand them to the security guard before boarding the boat – please see document ‘jetty fee at Tanjung Leman’
more information.
Don’t forget light refreshments can be bought at the jetty and there is a small charge to use the toilet facilities.

RIMBA LAND TRANSFER – If Rimba has arranged transport for you, you will be travelling in a car.
A car drive through the ‘car lane’ at both Singapore and Malaysian immigration and you will not need to exit
your vehicle.
You can ask the driver to stop off at a petrol station on the way up once you have gone through Malaysian
immigration, for you to use the restroom and buy snacks/refreshments. Please let us know in advance if you
need to stop off at an ATM to get Malaysian Ringgit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFER DETAILS – We send transfer details via email, by 9pm on the night before you travel.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAKING YOUR OWN WAY TO TANJUNG LEMAN - For those who choose to drive to Tanjung Leman, please
SMS / WhatsApp us on +60 127106855 when you pass Kota Tinggi or are one hour away.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PARKING - 24 hour secure parking is available at Tanjung Leman. A parking fee of RM8 per car per day is
payable on exit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DELAYS AND WEATHER – We arrange our boats time around the tide, as there are certain hours during the day
that it is impossible to get a boat in / out of Rimba. If other guests are running late, we might have to delay the
boat until they get there. The boat can also be delayed because of the weather, but our boat captains will
explain the situation and let you know when it is safe to board the boat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PACK LIGHTLY – Backpacks/sports bags are recommended over suitcases. Bring a plastic bin bag to put your
luggage in if it is not waterproof as there may be sea spray during the journey. There are no dress restrictions on
the island.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIFE JACKETS – These are provided for the boat journey and it is compulsory that all guests wear them. Dress
accordingly for boat rides as you can get a little wet! We do have child size life jackets.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIETARY REQUIREMENTS / PREFERENCES - Please inform us of any allergies or special dietary requirements
before your arrival e.g. vegetarian, dairy/gluten free, no beef, no seafood etc.
It can also be a preference i.e. no mushrooms, no tomatoes…
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSECT SPRAY and SANDFLIES – Mosquitoes are more active at sunrise and sunset, so it is wise to bring
repellent with you. If you intend on lying on the beach or playing in the sand, it’s a good idea to bring along
some suntan oil, baby oil, coconut oil… to apply (can put over sunscreen) for protection against any sand flies
(anything oil based stops them sticking to you).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHOP – We keep a small shop of essentials on the island such as toothbrushes, sun cream, tampons etc. These
are available to purchase from the bar. We also have Rimba products available to purchase.
WI-FI/PHONE - Rimba has Wi-Fi internet access in the bar and reading room and mobile phone coverage
(MAXIS / CELCOM / U MOBILE) throughout the resort but this cannot necessarily be relied on for important
emails.
