Coses per fer a Kota Kinabalu

Experiència de cinc estrelles! Viatge de cinc estrelles! Un viatge perfecte! La guia Sue ja ens va contactar per WhatsApp la nit anterior i va respondre totes les nostres preguntes amb molta paciència. Durant tot el viatge ens va ajudar a fer fotos sense cap problema, i fins i tot amb alguns membres del grup que tenien expectatives molt altes en fotografia, la Sue va ser increïblement pacient amb ells. Cal tenir en compte que aquell dia es van combinar diversos grups, però tots els guies es coneixien entre ells, així que van saber crear un ambient fantàstic. Un dels guies portava un altaveu gran i posava música constantment, creant un ambient molt animat i adequat al tema. Per exemple, mentre vèiem les lluernes, va posar la cançó "Dao Xiang" de Jay Chou! Realment impressionant! Cal tenir en compte que els mosquits locals són molt agressius, no els espanta ni l'aigua ni els repel·lents, és un punt a considerar. La posta de sol local és espectacular! Hi ha molt de temps per a activitats lliures i per fer fotos. La primera vegada que vam fer snorkel va ser sorprenent. L'única llàstima és que potser hi havia algú al grup amb por a l'aigua, i per atendre'ls, no vam poder anar a més llocs, i al final ens vam quedar en un sol punt jugant durant aproximadament una hora. A l'illa es poden llogar taquilles per 60 HKD, però en realitat no cal, ningú et robarà res en una illa deserta... Veure les lluernes és una experiència absolutament inoblidable! Les fotos no poden capturar la magnitud d'aquesta meravella, ho entendràs quan hi vagis! P.S. L'hora de trobada aquell dia era a les 7 del matí! Així que ens vam llevar molt d'hora, però va valer la pena.

super recommended!! the staff were very helpful and friendly. u can even make payment on the spot which is really convenient. my friend, who has tried paragliding with another company before recommended this one over the first company she went with. they even took photos of me without having to ask and i got the best shot up in the sky! kudos to the team for going the extra mile. highly recommended and i will definitely doing this again!!! 👏🏻

Tot està molt ben organitzat i arranjat. Des de la recollida fins al final de la caminada. L'allotjament al parc de Kinabalu va ser fantàstic. La caminada va ser bastant dura, especialment la de les 2:30 de la matinada fins al cim. Cal pagar un suplement al guia i pel transport de tornada a l'allotjament, ja que es va excedir el temps estipulat.

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!

Vam apuntar-nos dues famílies, amb 4 adults i 4 nens en total. Ens van recollir a l'hotel a les 7:30 del matí i d'allà vam fer un trajecte de 2 hores i mitja fins al mirador del mont Kinabalu. Hi havia trànsit per les carreteres de la ciutat sortint de Kota Kinabalu cap al mont Kinabalu, però van ser molt flexibles i ens van parar a mig camí perquè els nens poguessin anar al bany. Vam fer moltes fotos al mirador i des d'allà vam anar cap a la granja Desa 🐮 Abans, vam fer una parada ràpida en una fruteria local. El nostre guia, en Jeff, ens va presentar fruites que no havíem vist mai i en vam comprar un o dos de cada per tastar-les 🥭 Estàvem molt emocionats amb fruites que no havíem sentit ni vist mai, com la poma gelea, l'alvocat formatge o la fruita de la pell de serp 😆 L'alvocat formatge tenia una textura i un gust que no semblaven de fruita, com de carbassa dolça al vapor! Boníssim 😋 Des d'allà vam anar a la granja Desa. Com que està en una zona alta a uns 1.500 metres d'altitud, no feia massa calor i s'estava molt bé! Feia un dia esplèndid amb ben a penes núvols, i vam poder fer moltes fotos fantàstiques amb les crestes esmolades del mont Kinabalu de fons. Fins i tot es veia un halo solar? ☀️ En Jeff ens va guiar molt bé per tot el que ens recomanava: menjar un gelat, donar de menjar als vedells i a les cabres, etc. En Jeff, que també és pare de 4 fills, controla molt de vídeos divertits de TikTok i ens ho vam passar d'allò més bé fent gravacions d'allò més divertides en família, els nens estava encantats i nosaltres supercontentos 😁 Després vam dinar en un restaurant proper i vam anar a veure la raflesia 🌺 Estàvem preocupats per si la podríem veure, ja que només floreix entre 5 i 7 dies a l'any, però vam poder veure dues raflesies en floració ✌️ També vam veure capolls i algunes de pansides, una experiència única que només es pot viure allà 👌 A prop hi havia arbres de cacau i de durià! No sabia pas que el durià creixia en un arbre tan alt 😳 Cap a les 3 passades de la tarda, com que els nens ja començaven a estar cansats, vam decidir tornar aviat i vam modificar l'itinerari per emprendre el camí de tornada. El trànsit del matí havia estat llarg 💦 De camí a casa, hi havia un núvol ben curiós penjat al cim del mont Kinabalu. En Jeff ens va dir que allò no era gens habitual 👌 La tornada també va ser una mica embussada, però vam aconseguir tornar a l'hotel cap a les 7 del vespre. Hèiem de tornar a les 5:30, però devia ser per culpa del trànsit i de l'època d'estiu que hi havia tanta acumulació de vehicles. Us recomanem portar una mica més d'efectiu, ja que necessitareu repel·lent d'insectes per a la zona de la raflesia i a algun restaurant no accepten targetes de crèdit. Jeff, moltes gràcies per aquesta excursió tan divertida‼️ Ens ho vam passar molt bé gràcies a les vistes grandioses i a la teva companyia tan atenta. Molt recomanable 👌

Although it is an island not far away, you can experience a completely different kind of sea. It was an unbelievably beautiful ocean. I was worried that Sapi and Manukan would be too similar, but perhaps because the weather changed, I was able to feel a different charm, which made it even better. I rode the banana boat; since it was right out on the deep sea, it was a little scary, but they accommodated us well so we had a fun time. Everyone we met was very kind. I would especially like to thank our guide, Nanak. I highly recommend this trip~

En Roy va ser molt amable i servicial. Com que la passarel·la elevada ha estat tancada durant els darrers mesos, es va substituir per una excursió per un sender fins a la cascada.

The itinerary was very well organized, allowing us to visit several spots in one trip. The duration at each stop was just right, so it never felt rushed. Our first stop was the observation deck, where there were many fruit vendors nearby selling fresh and delicious fruits! The best part was realizing later in the city that the fruit here was actually the cheapest! The farm was also a lot of fun; for 20 Malaysian Ringgit, you could feed milk and forage to the animals, and the yogurt and milk ice cream were amazing! The fish spa was very entertaining, and the tour guide taught us feeding techniques. It was a bit scary at first. Lunch was better than expected, featuring vegetables, meat, and fruit. The tour included a complimentary ATV experience, allowing us to ride through the wilderness. We were very lucky to see a Rafflesia flower this time; although it had been blooming for five days and was starting to turn dark, there was still an unopened bud right next to it. On the way back, we had roasted wild boar and pulled tea. The roasted wild boar is highly recommended! The two of us shared a portion and were left wanting more. Overall, the value for money is extremely high, and I highly recommend it!

Although I'm not sure why other guests were no-shows, my partner and I ended up having a car and a boat all to ourselves. Upon arrival, we first went to the meeting point to eat. After our meal, we set off for the pier to go whitewater rafting in an inflatable boat. I had already informed the coach that I couldn't swim, so I was very scared at first. However, by the middle of the trip, I found it very exciting and safe. The coach was truly amazing, and he was also witty and humorous. Even though he had an accent, communication was absolutely seamless. Additionally, there was a photographer at several stops who took pictures for us. The package included lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner. While the food wasn't incredibly delicious or lavish, it was certainly satisfying. Our guide also took us to a deserted island and took some incredibly beautiful photos of us; it was absolutely stunning. Finally, the guide worked hard to attract fireflies, and we had a magical evening, though it was difficult to capture the fireflies with a phone camera. Seeing them with our own eyes was wonderful, and it was a truly fulfilling day.
