Sabah Túrák

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Bongawan folyami hajóút, Sabah Csodálatos élmény volt elejétől a végéig. Szerencsénk volt, hogy hosszúorrú majmokat és hosszúfarkú majmokat is láttunk a folyó mentén, ami még izgalmasabbá tette a hajóutat 🐒🌿 A táj gyönyörű volt az egész út során, különösen a tengerparti megálló a békés, nyitott kilátással. A naplemente egészen lenyűgöző volt, az ég aranyba borult a folyó felett 🌅 Számomra egyértelműen a szentjánosbogarak voltak az éjszakai fénypont. A mangroveerdő álomszerűen világított, és még egy szentjánosbogár is a kezemre szállt – olyan varázslatos pillanat volt ✨ Nagy köszönet idegenvezetőinknek, Garynek, Edwardnak és Kevinnek, amiért barátságosak, segítőkészek voltak, és zökkenőmentessé és élvezetessé tették az egész utat. Ha Sabahban jár, ezt a programot feltétlenül ki kell próbálnia. Pihentető, gyönyörű és felejthetetlen.

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.

Nagyszerű élmény volt Mataking és Pom Pom szigetére menni. A Timba Timba szigeten kormányzati korlátozások miatt nem tudtunk megállni, azonban egy másik területen megálltunk sznorkelezni. Az idegenvezető nagyon segítőkész volt, fényképeket készített rólunk, tegnap sok tengeri teknőst és trópusi halat láttunk gyönyörű korallzátonyokkal. Egy oroszlánhalat is sikerült megpillantanunk. Nagyszerű, egyszer az életben adódó élményben volt részünk. Ajánlom ezt a túrát!

We participated in the company trip with 8 people. We were the only Japanese, and most of the other tourists on Mantanani Island were Chinese. Our guide, Xiao Zhong, was particularly excellent. We were initially concerned because the tour was primarily in Chinese and English, but he used a translation device to explain everything to us. The snorkeling, proboscis monkeys, and fireflies were wonderful. Although we had to wait for over 30 minutes due to a sudden downpour, it was an amazing experience overall.

8 éves kortól 71 éves korig terjedő csoport voltunk. Ez az utazás mindenkinek nagyszerű volt! A transzfer kényelmes volt, láttunk ormányos majmokat és hosszúfarkú makákókat, krokodilokat és madarakat. A naplemente lélegzetelállító volt, a szentjánosbogarak pedig gyönyörűek. A strandon felár ellenében lehetőség van egy kis ATV-vel való motorozásra, ami valószínűleg a 12 éves gyermekem napjának fénypontja volt! Idegenvezetőnk, Cathy csodálatos volt, sokat tanultunk tőle a mangroveerdőkről és az élőlényekről!

In a group of about 20-30 people, only two of us were Japanese. Most of the participants were Chinese, and the tour was primarily conducted in Chinese. However, our guide made sure to explain things to us in English whenever necessary and constantly looked out for us. The high-speed cruise ship took a little over an hour to reach the island. It was incredibly fast and quite bumpy! 😂 But because the ship was so fast, we didn't even have time to get seasick, which was a plus, haha. The guides played music on board, making the travel time enjoyable. The island facilities were new and clean. Toilets, shower rooms, and even hair dryers were available, ensuring a comfortable stay. Before snorkeling, there was a safety briefing. For the two of us, a staff member provided a one-on-one explanation, showing us translated safety precautions in Japanese. They also checked repeatedly to ensure we understood everything, and we felt that safety was very well-considered. For snorkeling, the boat took us to two different spots. The ocean was truly beautiful and amazing! 🐠 The guides constantly checked on us, ensuring our safety while also making sure we had a great time. After returning to the island, a luxurious meal of crab, shrimp, and other dishes was prepared, and drinks were available freely 🦀🦐. Afterward, we had free time. We relaxed under a parasol on the beach. When it was time, we boarded the super-fast cruise ship again for the return journey. Since it was an early morning tour, we were quite tired by the time we headed back, but it was a fulfilling day nonetheless. My only regret is that I forgot to give a tip to our kind guide when we left. They were so helpful until the very end. Since about 90% of the participants are Chinese, Japanese participants might feel a little uneasy at first if they join alone. However, there were many guides and staff members who paid very close attention to us Japanese participants, so in the end, we had a wonderful time without any worries. The ocean was beautiful, snorkeling was fun, and the food was luxurious. Above all, the warm support from all the staff left a lasting impression. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who might be hesitant because of the small number of Japanese participants! 🌴🐠✨

Our family and a friend's family, 4 adults and 4 children, signed up for this tour. We were picked up at our hotel at 7:30 AM, followed by a 2.5-hour drive to the Mount Kinabalu viewpoint. The city roads from Kota Kinabalu to Mount Kinabalu were congested, but our guide was flexible and accommodated the children's restroom breaks along the way. After taking many photos at the viewpoint, we headed to Desa Farm. On the way, we made a detour to a local fruit shop. Our tour guide, Jeff, introduced us to fruits we had never seen before, and we bought and ate one or two of each. We were excited by fruits we had never heard of or seen, like apple jelly, avocado cheese, and snake fruit! The avocado cheese tasted like sweet steamed pumpkin, with a texture and flavor unlike any fruit! It was delicious. From there, we went to Desa Farm. Located at an altitude of about 1,500m, it wasn't too hot and was very comfortable! The weather was clear with few clouds, and we took many great photos with the sharp ridges of Mount Kinabalu in the background. Was that a sun halo? Jeff smoothly guided us through recommended activities like soft-serve ice cream and feeding calves and goats. Jeff, who is also a father of four, is knowledgeable about funny TikTok videos, and our children had a blast taking funny videos with him, making it a very satisfying experience. Afterward, we had lunch at a nearby restaurant and then went rafflesia watching. We were worried if we would see any, as they only bloom for 5-7 days a year, but we saw two blooming rafflesias! We also saw buds and withered ones, which was a unique experience only available locally. Nearby, there were also cacao and durian trees! I was surprised to see durians growing on such tall trees. By this point, it was past 3 PM. The children were getting tired, so we decided to change the itinerary and head back. The morning traffic jam was long. On the way back, there was a strange cloud hanging over the summit of Mount Kinabalu. Jeff told us it was a rare sight. The return journey was also a bit congested, but we managed to get back to the hotel around 7 PM. We had originally planned to be back by 5:30 PM, but the road congestion and it being summer vacation season caused delays. I recommend bringing a bit more cash, as there are places at the rafflesia site that don't accept credit cards for insect repellent, and some restaurants for lunch. Thank you, Jeff, for a fun tour! The magnificent scenery and your enjoyable assistance made it a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

Idegenvezetőnk, Jerry pontos volt, és végig jó hangulatot teremtett a túra során. Bár én voltam az egyetlen, aki beszélt angolul, és a legtöbb résztvevő kínai volt, ő angolul is magyarázott, hogy megértsem, és gondoskodott róla, hogy minden rendben legyen. Nagyon jól éreztem magam és élveztem a túrát. Készségesen készített képeket és videókat is. Szóval egyedül utazóként sem lenne nehéz dolga ❤️ Nagyon ajánlom Jerry idegenvezető szolgáltatásait! Köszönöm.

Nagyon szép túra volt, sok tehenet láttunk a Desa tejgazdaságban, és kaptunk egy ingyenes kis tejesdobozt is. Szívmelengető ételt fogyasztottunk, és szerencsések voltunk, hogy láthattuk a raffléziát és különböző ritka orchideafajokat virágozni. Sok szép táj tárult elénk a hegy tetejéről. Az idegenvezető, Michael, nagyon tájékozott és szenvedélyes a hegyen található különböző növényfajokkal, különösen az orchideákkal kapcsolatban. Jó és pihentető egynapos kirándulás, mivel a busz felvesz a szállodából és visszavisz a városba.
