Paradise Island boasts stunning blue skies and clear waters, with incredibly beautiful scenery! During the snorkeling session, the instructors will guide you to see various types of fish and coral reefs, and the water is crystal clear. The instructors also make you feel very safe, so even if you don't know how to swim, you won't be afraid. All the instructors are very nice and friendly, and we had a wonderful time. Thanks to Ah Vui, Jackie, and all the other friendly instructors, my entire trip was filled with unforgettable memories! I will definitely come back here again! 💖✨

The tour guide made sure each of us got to experience catching fireflies and then releasing them, and also took great care of our safety. However, the life vests were very old, dirty, and smelly.

We had a wonderful experience on this snorkeling trip. It was our first time snorkeling, and everything was well organized from start to finish. Our tour guide, Birdy, was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the day, making us feel safe and comfortable. The snorkeling spots were beautiful, and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the marine life and crystal-clear waters. We especially appreciate Birdy’s patience, helpful guidance, and excellent service, which made our first snorkeling experience enjoyable and stress-free. Thank you, Birdy, for making our first snorkeling adventure such a memorable one. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kota Kinabalu. A truly unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of our Sabah trip!
