Things to do in Sabah

Best experience ever .tq to fifi for the best and friendly lessons and guide.

Highly recommend. The snorkeling tour is very professional and nice.Firstly, we took a boat to Mengalum Island and enjoyed the beach there. About 11:00AM, we went to two beautiful snorkeling spots in total. There were all kinds of fish in both places, and we also saw starfish and octopuses🐙.After lunch, just enjoyed chill time on the beach🏖️. I had a very wonderful and memorable experience in Mengalum Island. Happy new year and all the best wishes to the one who is reading the review😬

Only issue was the food. A bit average. But the views were nice and the beaches were also very clean. lots of fishes to see. they also provided snorkeling gear.

The journey today was very pleasant. The tour guide, Jordan, was conscientious and took good care of everyone. His explanations were very detailed and professional. There was no need to worry about language issues. The photography skills were superb and the photo quality was very high! We were very lucky to see the beautiful sunset, the "Christmas tree" of fireflies, and also witnessed the friendship between the lizard and the dog. This was an extremely unforgettable trip!

It was a very fun trip to two different islands. the tour guide was very nice and have very clear responsible communication with everyone in my group.

Exploring the base of the tallest mountain in Southeast Asia, feeding fish in a stream, and getting super lucky spotting the Rafflesia, the world’s largest flower that blooms only once every 9 months 🌺😮 Threw in some ATV riding for the adrenaline, then slowed things down at a quaint dairy farm at the foot of the mountain, cows and goats everywhere, cool climate, and honestly felt like New Zealand 🇳🇿🐐

We had a wonderful experience on this private day tour to.The trip was well-organized and very comfortable, perfect for a relaxed yet memorable day. Thanks for Selina for providing the details. Desa Farm was absolutely beautiful — the cool weather, scenic views and farm atmosphere made it a great place to unwind and take photos. It really felt like a peaceful escape from the city. Pekan Nabalu was also a highlight trying the local fruits and taking photos of Mt Kinabalu. Tamparuli bridge, which added a fun and unique experience to the trip.Our driver Rex was friendly, punctual and knowledgeable, making the journey smooth and enjoyable. Since it was a private tour, we could move at our own pace without feeling rushed, which made the experience even better. Overall, this tour exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this to anyone who visiting.

Our tour guide, Roy, was very easy to get along with. However, the journey to Kinabalu National Park is quite long, requiring a significant amount of travel time. Therefore, some trade-offs are necessary when planning the park itinerary. For example, if you want to visit the hot springs, you won't have time to see the butterfly garden!
