Tekemistä paikassa Sabah

Koska koko ryhmä puhui kiinaa, opas John selitti kaiken ja antoi ohjeet kiinaksi. Olimme onnekkaita, kun näimme nenäapinoita ja tulikärpäsiä, jotka näyttivät joulukuusen lailla virtaavalta vesiputoukselta (omalla puhelimellani en saanut kuvia, mutta opas antoi meille kuvia muistoksi). Tulikärpästen pitäminen kevyesti kädessä oli todella upea kokemus. Opas esitteli myös Durian-kadun (edellisenä päivänä kävelimme ohi, mutta opas ei selittänyt, joten luulimme sitä vain tavalliseksi kojuksi) ja kertoi, että siellä on Sabahan omia hedelmiä ja durianeja, jotka ovat myös edullisempia. Jos pidät durianista, kannattaa ehdottomasti kokeilla! Hän esitteli myös Gaya-kadun, jonne voi jäädä suoraan tulikärpästen katselun jälkeen viikonloppuna. Kokemus: Erinomainen.

Got a super nice female coach Fifi who was super patient in teaching us how to paddle and she also took very nice pictures! Went on a quiet morning so the sunrise was really beautiful and it was not crowded. The session was well paced so we had sufficient time to learn how to paddle and went all the way out in the sea to see the sunrise. The water was also clear that day so we managed to see some corals. Highly recommend to go for the sunrise session!

We boarded a popular influencer boat, and the young crew members were very dedicated, singing and dancing. I sat in the front row and was quite scared; the boat swayed a lot. On the return trip, sitting at the back of the boat was much better. We snorkeled in two beautiful spots with lots of fish.

Five-star experience! Five-star trip! A perfect journey! Our tour guide, Sue, contacted us via WhatsApp the night before and was incredibly patient in answering all our questions. She also helped us take photos throughout the trip without any hesitation. Some of our group members had very high expectations for photography, and Sue was surprisingly patient in helping them get their shots. It's worth noting that our group was a combination of several smaller groups, but all the guides knew each other, so they were great at creating a lively atmosphere. One guide constantly played music through a loudspeaker, which really boosted the mood, and they even matched the theme – for example, playing Jay Chou's "Rice Field" when we were watching fireflies! Truly professional! Be aware that the local mosquitoes are very aggressive and aren't deterred by mosquito repellent, so that's something to keep in mind. The sunset there is stunning! We had plenty of time for free activities and taking photos. My first snorkeling experience was also amazing. The only downside was that some people in our group might have been afraid of water, so we had to accommodate them and couldn't visit more spots. We ended up staying at one spot for about an hour. You can rent a locker on the island for HKD $60, but you honestly don't need to; no one is going to steal your belongings on a deserted island... Watching the fireflies is an absolutely unforgettable experience! Photos can't capture the awe-inspiring sight; you'll understand once you go! P.S. The meeting time that day was 7 AM! So it was a very early start, but totally worth it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Bongawan River Cruise, Sabah Amazing experience from start to finish. We were lucky enough to spot both long-nosed monkeys and long-tailed monkeys along the river, which made the cruise even more exciting 🐒🌿 The scenery was beautiful throughout the journey, especially the beach stop with its peaceful, open views. The sunset was absolutely stunning, with the sky turning golden over the river 🌅 The highlight for me was definitely the fireflies at night. The mangroves lit up like a dream, and one firefly even landed on my hand — such a magical moment ✨ Big shoutout to our guides Gary, Edward, and Kevin for being friendly, helpful, and making the whole trip smooth and enjoyable. If you’re in Sabah, this is definitely a must-do activity. Relaxing, beautiful, and unforgettable.

If you are considering a light eco tourism from Kota Kinabalu downtown, I strongly recommend this package. My driver was Ivan. His service was excellent! Thanks to him for arranging everything so smoothly. In the morning we haven't had a breakfast, so we went to morning Cafe Fook Yuen, Then to noodle house. We asked for additional schedules. HQ gladly accepted my additional requests. We went to total 6 sightseeing (including miraculous Mt Kinabalu). Not much traffic jam. Sites visited in timely manner, Bridge, Mt Sightsee spot, Dairy farm, Hot spring, Wildflower, Fish spa. Two of us was so tired stressed of office work from Seoul then we very much enjoyed this trip to MT Kinabalu. Have a good night Mr Ivan

Very nice and cosy island hopping experience. The boat ride was smooth and windy, the weather was very good that day. Both Sapi and Manukan Island had very nice beach. The tour guide, Nanak, is very friendly and answered all our question, also helped everyone take care of their bags and things. The banana boat and snorkelling are must go. Managed to see quite a few species of fish, snorkelling is limited to the areas near the shore but can spot quite a lot of fish. The sun is very strong so must apply sunscreen to prevent sunburn. Time was also sufficient and ended quite early at 3pm.

Matkaoppaamme Jerry oli täsmällinen ja hyvällä tuulella koko kiertueemme ajan. Vaikka olin ainoa, joka puhui englantia ja suurin osa osallistujista oli kiinalaisia, hän selitti asiat myös englanniksi, jotta ymmärtäisin ja varmistaisi, että kaikki on hyvin. Minulla oli todella hauskaa ja nautin kiertueesta. Hän oli myös halukas ottamaan kuvia ja videoita. Joten yksin matkustaminen ei olisi vaikeaa ❤️ Suosittelen lämpimästi matkaopas Jerryn palveluita! Kiitos.

A delightful little place to visit, it’s well-kept and plenty of photo opp although photography is not allowed inside (it’s okay). The souvenir shop is nice too.
