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.

Very professional SUP guiding team. instruction was thorough yet fun, and we all managed to stand up in no time. Got to explore the area’s sandbar and coral bar. Weather was awesome and we even got to see Mount Kinabalu from afar. Saw several other paddling groups out there in the sea, and could not help notice that they were all sitting down, and even some were being towed around in the sea. Lucky our own guide didn’t do that and gave us the freedom to paddle independently instead. Not the cheapest operator out there, but definitely worth every cent. Plus all the Borneo Paddle Monkeys guides are equipped with GoPro cameras, and they gave us plenty of high quality photos and videos after the session. Unforgettable experience. Highly recommended.

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!
