Kota Kinabalu Zájezdy

Přihlásili jsme se jako 4 dospělí a 4 děti s naší rodinou a rodinou přátel. Vyzvedli nás v hotelu v 7:30 ráno a odtud jsme jeli 2,5 hodiny na vyhlídku na horu Kinabalu. Cesta z centra Kota Kinabalu k hoře Kinabalu byla ucpaná, ale flexibilně nám vyšli vstříc s přestávkami na toaletu pro děti. Na vyhlídce jsme pořídili spoustu fotek a odtud jsme se vydali na farmu Desa 🐮. Cestou jsme se zastavili v místním obchodě s ovocem. Náš průvodce Jeff nám představil ovoce, které jsme nikdy předtím neviděli, a koupili jsme si po jednom nebo dvou kusech, abychom je ochutnali 🥭. Byli jsme nadšeni z ovoce, o kterém jsme nikdy neslyšeli ani ho neviděli, jako je jablečné želé, avokádový sýr a hadí ovoce 😆. Avokádový sýr chutnal jako sladká dušená dýně, s texturou a chutí, která se nepodobala ovoci! Bylo to vynikající 😋. Odtud jsme se vydali na farmu Desa. Protože se nachází ve vysoké nadmořské výšce asi 1 500 m, nebylo příliš horko a bylo to příjemné! Bylo jasno a málo mraků, takže jsme pořídili spoustu krásných fotek s ostrými hřebeny hory Kinabalu v pozadí. Objevilo se i sluneční halo ☀️. Jeff nám hladce ukázal doporučené aktivity, jako je zmrzlina a krmení telat a koz. Jeff, který je také otcem čtyř dětí, je dobře obeznámen se zábavnými videi na TikToku a děti si to užily, když jsme natáčeli zábavná videa jako rodina, a byli jsme velmi spokojeni 😁. Poté jsme poobědvali v nedaleké restauraci a vydali se na pozorování raflézie 🌺. Obávali jsme se, zda ji uvidíme, protože kvete jen 5 až 7 dní v roce, ale viděli jsme dvě kvetoucí raflézie ✌️. Byly tam i pupeny a uschlé květy, takže jsme zažili něco, co lze vidět jen tam 👌. V blízkosti byly také kakaovníky a durianovníky! Duriany rostou na tak vysokých stromech, to je úžasné 😳. To bylo po 15:00. Děti už byly unavené, takže jsme se rozhodli změnit itinerář a vrátit se domů. Ranní zácpa byla dlouhá 💦. Na zpáteční cestě se na vrcholu hory Kinabalu vznášel podivný mrak. Jeff nám řekl, že je to vzácné 👌. Cesta zpět byla také trochu ucpaná, ale nějak jsme se vrátili do hotelu kolem 19:00. Měli jsme se vrátit v 17:30, ale cesta byla ucpaná kvůli dopravě a letním prázdninám. Doporučuji vzít si s sebou trochu více hotovosti, protože na místě s raflézií je potřeba repelent proti hmyzu a v některých restauracích na oběd nelze platit kreditní kartou. Jeffe, děkujeme za zábavnou prohlídku‼️ Bylo to velmi příjemné s nádhernými scenériemi a zábavným doprovodem. Doporučuji 👌

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!

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!

Velmi příjemný a útulný zážitek z ostrovního putování. Plavba lodí byla klidná a větrná, počasí bylo ten den velmi dobré. Ostrovy Sapi i Manukan měly velmi krásné pláže. Průvodce Nanak je velmi přátelský a odpověděl na všechny naše otázky, také pomohl všem s jejich zavazadly a věcmi. Jízda na banánu a šnorchlování jsou nutností. Podařilo se nám vidět docela dost druhů ryb, šnorchlování je omezeno na oblasti blízko břehu, ale i tam lze spatřit spoustu ryb. Slunce je velmi silné, takže je nutné použít opalovací krém, abyste předešli spálení. Času bylo také dostatek a skončili jsme poměrně brzy ve 15:00.

Just finished a one-day tour of Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, and I have to give a huge shoutout to our private guide, Xiaoyang (William)! 👍🏻🙋🏻‍♂️ I originally thought the long drive to and from the mountain would be exhausting and boring, but Xiaoyang was a fantastic conversationalist along the way. He shared a lot of local history and culture of Sabah, guided us on a short trek up the mountain, and even stopped to introduce us to unique plants we saw along the trail 🌴🍃. The content was engaging and fun, and time flew by. 🥹 We were super lucky to catch a glimpse of Mount Kinabalu and the Rafflesia! The guide truly put a lot of thought into arranging everything for us, ensuring the entire itinerary ran smoothly, and even treated us to Malaysian cuisine for lunch 🍱! He took such good care of us throughout the trip, constantly reminding everyone to stay safe. The biggest surprise was his photography skills 📸. His composition was top-notch, and he was incredibly patient, taking tons of gorgeous photos for us to keep as memories. There was non-stop laughter all day, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. 😆✨ Meeting Xiaoyang this time really added so much value to the whole trip! 🩷 If any of our friends go to Sabah in the future, or if we visit again ourselves, we will definitely ask him to be our guide again! 😍

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! 🌴🐠✨

Velmi pěkná prohlídka, podařilo se nám vidět spoustu krav na farmě Desa a byl v ceně malý karton mléka zdarma. Měli jsme hřejivé jídlo a měli jsme štěstí, že jsme viděli kvést raflézii a různé vzácné druhy orchidejí. Z vrcholu hory byl krásný výhled. Průvodce Michael je také velmi znalý a nadšený pro různé druhy rostlin na hoře, zejména orchideje. Dobrý a relaxační jednodenní výlet, protože autobus vyzvedne z hotelu a vrátí se zpět do města.

Zúčastnili jsme se firemního výletu v osmi lidech, byli jsme jediní Japonci, většina ostatních na ostrově Mantanani byli Číňané. Obzvláště skvělý byl náš průvodce Xiao Zhong. Obávali jsme se, protože prohlídka byla v čínštině a angličtině, ale on nám vše vysvětlil pomocí překladače. Šnorchlování, kahau nosatý a světlušky byly úžasné, a přestože jsme museli čekat přes 30 minut kvůli tropickému lijáku, byl to skvělý zážitek.

Kuala Lumpu is worth to be seen l understanding its history and meanings. And this guided package does exactly this, we’re so happy we took it. Our guide, Mr. Tnesh was extremely knowledgeable, sharing the stories at each stop and making this trip a journey. Offered to take pictures for us, arranged for a guide at the Royal Selangor factory and knew the best spots. The factory tour was a great addition to well known Caves and city landmarks, it’s recommended. Don’t think too much, book this tour and you’ll enjoy it for sure. Thanks to Mr. Tnesh! also having the trip with the car and AC helps a lot in the hot weather.
