Sabah Lodní výlety

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.

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!

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! 🌴🐠✨

Skvělý zážitek z návštěvy ostrovů Mataking a Pom Pom. Na ostrově Timba Timba jsme nemohli zastavit kvůli vládním omezením, nicméně jsme se zastavili v oblasti, kde jsme šnorchlovali. Průvodce nám velmi ochotně fotil, včera jsme viděli mnoho mořských želv a tropických ryb s krásnými korálovými útesy. Podařilo se nám vidět i perutýna. Byl to skvělý zážitek, který se naskytne jednou za život. Tuto prohlídku bychom doporučili!

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.

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!

Tentokrát byl naším průvodcem medvídek 🐻 a spousta nadšených členů posádky. Loď byla ve skvělém stavu, nová a velmi čistá, s horní i dolní palubou ideální pro focení a volný pohyb. Nejprve jachta vyplula do vodního klubu, kde jsme si odložili věci. Poté nás rychlý člun odvezl na ostrov Sapi, kde jsme si asi 30 minut užívali vodu a fotili se. Následně jsme se vrátili do vodního klubu, kde jsme si užili skluzavku, šnorchlování a SUP (tyto tři aktivity byly zdarma). Po celou dobu nás doprovázel personál, takže to bylo velmi bezpečné. Pokud si dokoupíte další vodní aktivity, odvezou vás na vzdálenější místa. V poledne byl k dispozici jednoduchý bufet. Myslím, že je to skvělé místo k relaxaci. Doporučuji!

Chlapi byli zkušení, dobře vyškolení a velmi profesionální.

We had a wonderful trip. We were so lucky to be the only participants so we ended up with a private tour. Our guide was helpful when getting in and out if the kajak and he also told us about the area along the way. Our driver Tam was also very talkative. He had a history lesson with my boyfriend the entire drive back to our hotel which was really funny. I would really recommend this trip if you want a beautiful sunset and a more active tour.
