Food & Beverage kiosk & Top Up Counter
The top up counter is located besides the restaurant. The restaurant has provide pizza, fast food, some beverage and ice cream. Actually they have provide set lunch it can add on when customers buy the ticket at the entrance.
We only go there for top up money for E-pay to rent tubes and locker.
Another cafe is located beside the hornbill islands. It sell some snack, beverage and ice-cream.
Santubong Tower
Santubong Tower stands at six-storey high and is the peak of the water park.The attractions at Santubong Tower are divided into two namely the tuberides and the non-tube rides. We need to climb up the stairs together with the tube and arrived the starting point.
Tube rides require the use of a rented tube to play and the rides available are the Galaxy Slide(purple)its has 110.76 meters , the Canopy Slide(green)has 137.67 meters, and the Crystal Slide(blue)has 89.61 meters. But the Crystal slide is the most challenging slide even though it is the shortest slide.
This rides available for non-tube rides are the 6 Lane Racers. It has 83 meters. We get the floats from the ride station it is prepared for free. After using we must bring back to the ride station. We need a very big courage to start sliding down from the starting point because it required one person one lane.
Family Raft Ride it has 230 meters. It provide a big tube shape like donut. Maximum one tube can fit for 6 person. We need to climb up the highest stair for this station. We all sit like face to face in the tube.
The last activity in Santubong Tower is Sky Drop Ride it has 80.7 meters and Sky Drop Ride (Double loop) it has 111 meters. Very disappointed because this kind activities haven't open. It still under maintenance .

The 'Gift Shop' in Samariang Water Theme Park is right beside the ticket counter. when you visited there, you can already see it from the parking lot. The 'Gift Shop' is also the way of water park entrance. so, you may look around the stuffs that they selling.

Water Park Entrance
After
bought the ticket, we are now allowed to go inside. Before that, we have to go
through the entrance gate where there are two staffs which will help to tide
the wristband on your hand. After that, they will check inside your bags,
probably to prevent any inappropriate things to bring inside the water park
because for sure they have rules to be followed. Then we can go inside and
play, if want to play with tube you can rent at the tube counter. They have
several types of tubes and other items use to play. Also, at tube counter you
can rent a locker, it have medium and large size with different prices. Inside,
there is cafe which you can rest and take a meal or snack at there to relax.
Water Park Ticket Counter
Like
any other water park in the world, there’s a fee to enter the Borneo Samariang
Water Park. Compared to other water parks, Borneo Samariang Water Park is affordable.
At
the time we went there, they have a promotion price which more cheaper than the
original price. The staff at the counter will suggest to top up the money so
that it can be used when we are inside. The top up money will placed in the
system so that it can be used by using the bar-code on the wristband. We bought
the ticket for four persons and then get wristband which can be use as E-money
to rent the tube, locker and other items.
Locker Rental
Renting
a locker in my opinion is a must and the water park management charges a RM 15
for a medium locker with a RM 10 deposit.
A larger locker is priced RM 25 excluding RM 10 deposit.
So,
we rent the large locker as it cheaper for four persons and also easy to put
all our bags and stuffs together. To rent the locker also at the tube counter,
the same process as renting the tube. The good thing I found is the locker is
using the bar-code system as well. How it work is, the locker is allocate per
row and each of the row connected with the system. So, we need to scanned the
bar-code on the wristband to the scanner based on which locker we are rent
(medium or large). Scanned the bar-code to open the locker and when it closed,
will locked automatically. We can also open it for temporary as well, its all
set already by the system, so don’t worry. With this system, I feel that it is
safe and secure to put our stuffs in the locker because it only can be open
with the bar-code in our wristband, so different persons has different bar-code which
means other people cannot open it as well.

other items and services also for rent within the water park for your
convenience, one of it is tube rental. The management of the park requires RM10
for every item borrowed. This deposit would be returned upon check-out if the
items are returned in good condition.
List of the tubes and other items prices which available for rental |
If you plan to go on the tube rides at the Santubong
Tower, you need to rent either the single tube or double tube. Just go to the
tube counter which items you want to rent and make a payment using E-value.
Then the staff will key into the system and scan the barcode on the
wristband which already top up with the money (E-value).
After make a
payment, then proceeded to issuing the tubes with other staff which will record
the tube rented in the book record. We are four persons in the group so we rent
two double tubes to play at Santubong tower. After finished, you have to return
the tube to the tube counter in a good condition otherwise, if any broken it
will charge from the deposit. They have a lot of tubes that can be rent, it
will be enough to fulfill the demand when a lot of visitors come during
weekend. The services by the staff is good and friendly they are very helping
so the process is easy and we have no difficulties.
