Sabah Ture

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Bongawan River Cruise, Sabah En fantastisk oplevelse fra start til slut. Vi var heldige nok til at spotte både langnæseaber og langhalede aber langs floden, hvilket gjorde sejlturen endnu mere spændende 🐒🌿 Landskabet var smukt under hele turen, især strandstoppet med dets fredfyldte, åbne udsigt. Solnedgangen var helt betagende, med himlen der blev gylden over floden 🌅 Højdepunktet for mig var helt klart ildfluerne om natten. Mangroverne lyste op som en drøm, og en ildflue landede endda på min hånd – et så magisk øjeblik ✨ Stor tak til vores guider Gary, Edward og Kevin for at være venlige, hjælpsomme og for at gøre hele turen problemfri og fornøjelig. Hvis du er i Sabah, er dette absolut en aktivitet, du skal opleve. Afslappende, smuk og uforglemmelig.

Meget dejlig og hyggelig øhop-oplevelse. Bådturen var behagelig og blæsende, vejret var rigtig godt den dag. Både Sapi og Manukan Island havde meget flotte strande. Turlederen, Nanak, er meget venlig og besvarede alle vores spørgsmål, og hjalp også alle med at passe på deres tasker og ting. Bananbåden og snorkling er et must. Det lykkedes at se en del forskellige fiskearter, snorkling er begrænset til områderne nær kysten, men man kan se ret mange fisk. Solen er meget stærk, så man skal bruge solcreme for at undgå solskoldning. Tiden var også tilstrækkelig, og turen sluttede ret tidligt kl. 15.00.

Fantastisk oplevelse med at besøge Mataking og Pom Pom Island. Kunne ikke stoppe ved Timba Timba Island på grund af offentlige restriktioner, men vi stoppede i et område for at snorkle. Guiden var meget hjælpsom med at tage billeder for os, vi så mange havskildpadder i går og tropiske fisk med smukke koralrev. Fik også set en dragefisk. Vi havde en fantastisk oplevelse, der kun sker én gang i livet. Vil anbefale denne tur!

Vi deltog i firmaturen med 8 personer, og vi var de eneste japanere; de fleste på Mantanani-øen var kinesere. Vores guide, Xiao Zhong, var fremragende. Vi var bekymrede, da turen var på kinesisk og engelsk, men han brugte en oversætter til at forklare alt. Snorkling, næseaber og ildfluer var fantastiske, og selvom vi måtte vente over 30 minutter på grund af en regnbyge, var det en vidunderlig oplevelse.

We were a group ranging from 8yrs to 71yrs. This trip was great for all! The transfer was comfortable, we saw Proboscis and long tail macaques, crocodiles and birds. The sunset was breathtaking and the fireflies were so beautiful. on the beach, you can pay extra to ride a small ATV which was likely the highlight of my 12yr old’s day! Our guide, Cathy was wonderful, we learned a lot about the mangroves and the creatures because of her!

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! 🌴🐠✨

Our family and a friend's family, 4 adults and 4 children, signed up for this tour. We were picked up at our hotel at 7:30 AM, followed by a 2.5-hour drive to the Mount Kinabalu viewpoint. The city roads from Kota Kinabalu to Mount Kinabalu were congested, but our guide was flexible and accommodated the children's restroom breaks along the way. After taking many photos at the viewpoint, we headed to Desa Farm. On the way, we made a detour to a local fruit shop. Our tour guide, Jeff, introduced us to fruits we had never seen before, and we bought and ate one or two of each. We were excited by fruits we had never heard of or seen, like apple jelly, avocado cheese, and snake fruit! The avocado cheese tasted like sweet steamed pumpkin, with a texture and flavor unlike any fruit! It was delicious. From there, we went to Desa Farm. Located at an altitude of about 1,500m, it wasn't too hot and was very comfortable! The weather was clear with few clouds, and we took many great photos with the sharp ridges of Mount Kinabalu in the background. Was that a sun halo? Jeff smoothly guided us through recommended activities like soft-serve ice cream and feeding calves and goats. Jeff, who is also a father of four, is knowledgeable about funny TikTok videos, and our children had a blast taking funny videos with him, making it a very satisfying experience. Afterward, we had lunch at a nearby restaurant and then went rafflesia watching. We were worried if we would see any, as they only bloom for 5-7 days a year, but we saw two blooming rafflesias! We also saw buds and withered ones, which was a unique experience only available locally. Nearby, there were also cacao and durian trees! I was surprised to see durians growing on such tall trees. By this point, it was past 3 PM. The children were getting tired, so we decided to change the itinerary and head back. The morning traffic jam was long. On the way back, there was a strange cloud hanging over the summit of Mount Kinabalu. Jeff told us it was a rare sight. The return journey was also a bit congested, but we managed to get back to the hotel around 7 PM. We had originally planned to be back by 5:30 PM, but the road congestion and it being summer vacation season caused delays. I recommend bringing a bit more cash, as there are places at the rafflesia site that don't accept credit cards for insect repellent, and some restaurants for lunch. Thank you, Jeff, for a fun tour! The magnificent scenery and your enjoyable assistance made it a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

Meget god tur, vi så mange køer på Desa kvæggård, og der var en gratis lille mælkekarton inkluderet. Vi fik et hjertevarmende måltid og var heldige nok til at se rafflesiaen og forskellige sjældne orkidéarter i blomst. Masser af smuk natur fra toppen af bjerget. Rejselederen Michael er også meget vidende og passioneret omkring de forskellige plantearter på bjerget, især orkidéerne. En god og afslappende dagstur, da bussen henter fra hotellet og kører tilbage til byen.

Vores turguide Jerry var punktlig og i godt humør under hele turen. Selvom jeg var den eneste, der talte engelsk, og de fleste af de andre deltagere var kinesere, forklarede han også på engelsk, så jeg kunne forstå det, og sikrede sig, at alt var i orden. Jeg havde det så sjovt og nød turen. Han var også villig til at tage billeder og video af dig. Så det ville ikke være svært at rejse alene ❤️ Kan varmt anbefale turguide Jerrys service! Tak.
