Sabah Bådture

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

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! 🌴🐠✨

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!

Overall, had a great day snorkeling at 3 different spots. Managed to see some nemo fishes!! Expect that there will be some wait time in the morning before getting onto the boats. But every other time when the boat picks us up after the snorkeling/diving sessions, it’s a very easy process to follow. We had Chong as our snorkeling guide who was very helpful to point out where certain fishes are so we were able to catch a glimpse of the sea creatures and enjoy our time more. The lunch provided was simple but pretty good — had the mushroom and chicken rice. I can’t remember the other driving guide and boat driver’s name but they were great too. Thank you to this team:)
