It looks like a camel rather than a chicken to me
After visiting the Tub Island, we went to the Chicken Island. There were no chickens on the island and there’s no hero named chicken died on the island. The Chicken Island is named such way due to the shape of rock formation that looks like a head of the rooster. However, I felt it looks like a camel to me. The rock formation can be visibly seen from far.
Crystal clear water, can see to the sea bed from top
Boats park together for snorkeling sessions
Well, that was not the reason we were there, the actual highlight of Chicken Island is to snorkel near the island, the water there is like Tub Island which is crystal clear. The snorkeling gears were provided by tour operator.
Snorkeling time!
An ancient Chinese design ship spotted when I was snorkeling
The rest of the gang and me snorkeling.
The Tiger Fish, lots of them
There’s nothing beat the moment of diving in to the cold sea for snorkeling, it was refreshing! Snorkeling around Chicken Island was nothing particular spectacular though, there were lots of tiger fish and there quite a number of sea corals as well. I reckon places like Redang Island has more variety of fish than here. However, the real deal will be on the third and the fourth island. Thanks for reading.

Saw this island while on my way to Phi Phi Island 🙂
don’t have much time to go for this tour as my friends and I had decided to go for Phi Phi excursions 🙂
You really make it appear so easy together with your presentation but I in finding this matter to be actually one thing that I feel I might never understand. It sort of feels too complex and extremely extensive for me. I am looking forward for your subsequent put up, I’ll attempt to get the grasp of it!
