I highly recommend Mr. Lim Vui Ming as a tour guide in Sabah! He’s incredibly friendly, humorous, and knowledgeable, making the tour both fun and informative. His passion for the region shines through in every story, and he keeps things light and engaging. If you want an unforgettable tour experience, don’t hesitate to find Mr. Lim!

Booking through Klook was pretty fuss free. However, do note that you will receive the booking details only a day before the actual tour.
The driver and guide came on time, even earlier than scheduled. Guide Wan also shared with us some urban tale about Sabah which was interesting.
Unfortunately, we came at the wrong time as it was rainy and cloudy, hence we couldn't take many photos. However, the weather was great. Because our tour group had a few older ones and a child, we asked if we can stop by some places for the meals and they were very cooperative with such requests, great services. Would recommend this listing if ytou would like to have some private tour for your friends and family.

Overall a great day trip! We visited Manukan and Sapi Island which were both beautiful, and there is a lovely restaurant on Manukan Island. Our tour guide Nelson was so friendly and informative and always so happy which made our experience even better. Itinerary timings were comfortable and worked out very smooth throughout the day. I would highly recommend this for anyone staying in Kota Kinabalu.

The pick-up and drop-off part is really great, the whole itinerary is arranged just right, and the snorkeling time is not too long. Huantan Island is really worth going up!

It’s fun, the staff are friendly, and things are pretty good. It’s very pleasant to play in the water and walk around on the island. It’s just that it’s very hot and it’s easy to get sunburned due to the volcanic mud. It’s a pity that it was canceled due to maintenance and there’s no alternative itinerary. I’m a little disappointed, but I still had a lot of fun.
