Sabah Excursions amb vaixell

We had such a great time on this tour, and a big part of it was thanks to our tour guide, Kelvin! Kelvin was our driver, tour guide and also our photographer for the day. He was very knowledgeable and made the mangrove and fireflies tour really enjoyable. He introduced us to the different animals we saw, including the proboscis monkeys, and shared interesting facts about what they eat, their digestion and their behaviour. It was really interesting to learn about them along the way. He was also very entertaining and took great care of us throughout the whole trip. He definitely went above and beyond, especially when he took the time to help us take photos at the sunset spot. We really appreciated how attentive and thoughtful he was. Also, a big shoutout to his co-tour guide, Gary, who was equally helpful and made the experience even better. Thank you, Kelvin and Gary, for such a memorable day!

Una experiència de salt d'illa molt agradable i acollidora. El viatge en vaixell va ser suau i ventós, el temps va ser molt bo aquell dia. Tant l'illa Sapi com la Manukan tenien platges molt boniques. El guia turístic, Nanak, és molt amable i va respondre totes les nostres preguntes, a més d'ajudar a tothom a tenir cura de les seves bosses i pertinences. El banana boat i el snorkel són imprescindibles. Vam aconseguir veure bastants espècies de peixos, el snorkel es limita a les zones properes a la costa, però es poden veure molts peixos. El sol és molt fort, així que cal aplicar protector solar per evitar cremades. El temps també va ser suficient i va acabar bastant aviat, a les 3 de la tarda.

We had a wonderful time on the mangrove cruise! We were amazed to see animals we had never seen before. The fireflies were also incredibly beautiful. The way they gathered in the trees made them look just like Christmas trees. When the captain called to them, the fireflies gently fluttered over to him. It was like watching magic happen right before our eyes. Our guide, Jason, was also very kind and taught us so many interesting things. We learned for the first time that male and female proboscis monkeys have different nose shapes. We were truly grateful that Jason always treated us with a smile, even though our English wasn't very good. It was a wonderful experience and a memory we will treasure for a long time. Thank you so much!

Una gran experiència anant a les illes Mataking i Pom Pom. No vam poder parar a l'illa Timba Timba a causa de restriccions governamentals, però vam fer una parada en una zona per fer snorkel. El guia va ser molt útil fent-nos fotos, vam veure moltes tortugues marines ahir i peixos tropicals amb bells esculls de corall. També vam poder veure un peix lleó. Vam tenir una gran experiència única a la vida. Recomanaria aquesta excursió!

In a group of about 20-30 people, only two of us were Japanese. Most of the participants were Chinese, and the tour was primarily conducted in Chinese. However, our guide made sure to explain things to us in English whenever necessary and constantly looked out for us. The high-speed cruise ship took a little over an hour to reach the island. It was incredibly fast and quite bumpy! 😂 But because the ship was so fast, we didn't even have time to get seasick, which was a plus, haha. The guides played music on board, making the travel time enjoyable. The island facilities were new and clean. Toilets, shower rooms, and even hair dryers were available, ensuring a comfortable stay. Before snorkeling, there was a safety briefing. For the two of us, a staff member provided a one-on-one explanation, showing us translated safety precautions in Japanese. They also checked repeatedly to ensure we understood everything, and we felt that safety was very well-considered. For snorkeling, the boat took us to two different spots. The ocean was truly beautiful and amazing! 🐠 The guides constantly checked on us, ensuring our safety while also making sure we had a great time. After returning to the island, a luxurious meal of crab, shrimp, and other dishes was prepared, and drinks were available freely 🦀🦐. Afterward, we had free time. We relaxed under a parasol on the beach. When it was time, we boarded the super-fast cruise ship again for the return journey. Since it was an early morning tour, we were quite tired by the time we headed back, but it was a fulfilling day nonetheless. My only regret is that I forgot to give a tip to our kind guide when we left. They were so helpful until the very end. Since about 90% of the participants are Chinese, Japanese participants might feel a little uneasy at first if they join alone. However, there were many guides and staff members who paid very close attention to us Japanese participants, so in the end, we had a wonderful time without any worries. The ocean was beautiful, snorkeling was fun, and the food was luxurious. Above all, the warm support from all the staff left a lasting impression. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who might be hesitant because of the small number of Japanese participants! 🌴🐠✨

Vam participar en un viatge d'empresa de 8 persones, i érem els únics japonesos; la majoria de la gent a l'illa de Mantanani era xinesa. El nostre guia, Xiaozhong, va ser especialment excel·lent. Ens preocupava que el tour fos només en xinès i anglès, però ell va utilitzar un traductor per explicar-nos les coses. L'snorkel, els nassuts i les lluernes van ser meravellosos. Tot i que vam haver d'esperar més de 30 minuts a causa d'un xàfec, va ser una experiència fantàstica.

What a wonderful experience! Before departure, customer service proactively contacted me and created a group chat. On the day of departure, a staff member was even arranged to meet us in the early morning and guide us to the meeting point on their way to work. This staff member also spoke fluent Mandarin and Cantonese, making the first stop of our trip full of pleasant surprises! They also offered thoughtful photo services, including free underwater photos and videos. It was absolutely delightful!

Aquesta vegada, el guia turístic era l'Ós Petit 🐻, i hi havia molts tripulants entusiastes. El vaixell estava en molt bones condicions, era nou i molt net, i es podia passejar lliurement tant per la coberta superior com per la inferior per fer fotos. Primer, el iot va sortir cap al club aquàtic per deixar les coses, i després una llanxa ràpida va portar a tothom a l'illa de Koh Panyi per banyar-se i fer fotos durant uns 30 minuts. Després, vam tornar al club aquàtic per jugar amb el tobogan, fer snorkel i paddle surf (aquestes tres activitats eren gratuïtes). Durant tot el temps, hi havia personal acompanyant, cosa que el feia molt segur. Si s'afegien altres activitats aquàtiques, et portaven a un lloc una mica més llunyà per jugar-hi 🤣. Al migdia hi havia un bufet senzill per dinar. Crec que és una opció excel·lent per relaxar-se. Molt recomanable!

The guys were experienced well trained, and very professional
