Experiência de snorkeling ou mergulho na Baía da Lua saindo de Kota Kinabalu

The snorkeling arrangements were great, and it was very thoughtful of the staff to be nearby to check on us. Although the sun was strong and it was hot, there were many fish and the water visibility was quite good.

They picked us up from the hotel ten minutes early. The port is next to Mantanani Island. If coming from the city, it's about a 2-hour drive, but since we were staying in Tuaran, it was only about 45 minutes. After arriving, we rested for a bit. Our group had about 15-20 people; only we were certified divers, everyone else was snorkeling. They also played on a banana boat (not sure if there was an extra charge). Due to a typhoon two days prior, the visibility underwater was quite poor. For the first dive, visibility was about 3 meters, and for the second dive, it was even just 1 meter; I could barely see where the instructor was. However, you could tell there were many live corals here, with very vibrant colors. It's a pity! If it had been clear, it would have been incredibly beautiful! The weather was great that day. We returned to MoonBay around 1 PM. The simple food was quite good, and we could freshen up there. There were many affectionate cats on the island, but they would directly beg for food. There were far fewer people than on Mantanani Island, only our group, so it was very quiet. The beach was also very clean, with several swings on the sand, which made for beautiful photos. During the break, you could lie in a hammock and listen to the sound of the waves, which was very comfortable! The final activity was placing live corals into the sea for regeneration and conservation. I felt that the people here really care for their environment, which is great! Personally, I think this trip was more worthwhile than the Mantanani Island itinerary!

This time, our family booked four diving and four snorkeling sessions, specifically requesting a Chinese-speaking instructor. The day before the trip, we received a message from the instructor (I left my Line contact information) informing us of the meeting time and designated location. After arriving at the boat departure point by car, we had time to change into our swimsuits. There were also some complimentary refreshments and snacks available. Then, we collected our diving and snorkeling gear. Following a safety briefing, which was conducted in both English and Chinese for everyone present that day, we boarded the boat to Moonbay for snorkeling and diving. Lunch was a small buffet, which was a very special experience!

The diving instructor was very attentive and great at looking after people. Even though it was my first time diving, I had a wonderful time! 😊😊😊

我们大约早上7点15分从酒店出发，从亚庇市到乌苏干码头大约行驶了2小时。在乘坐小船前往月亮湾附近的小岛之前，我们稍作休息并听取了简报，船上备有面罩、浮潜呼吸管和救生衣。 面罩是标准尺寸的，如果您的脸型较大，可能不太合适。浮潜呼吸管的咬嘴上有两小块破损，无法真正咬住，但仍然可以用嘴唇包住咬嘴来固定浮潜呼吸管。 我们有大约30分钟或更多的时间在海滩浮潜。我们去的那天，水下能见度有点浑浊；我们还有机会选择是否玩香蕉船（每人收费50马币）。之后，我们再次上船，前往小岛和月亮湾之间的海中央。这是第二次浮潜，从海中央的平台上出发。我们再次获得浮潜时间，然后被渡船送往月亮湾岛。 岛上提供午餐，您可以进行简单的冲洗。如果您喜欢，可以在岛上拍照和划皮划艇。他们还有一个非常好的“种植珊瑚”项目，我们可以参与。项目结束后，我们离开了小岛。 另外值得一提的是，我们几乎是岛上唯一的游客（不包括工作人员）……之所以说“几乎”，是因为后来又有一群浮潜者加入了我们，但他们也比我们早离开了。周围没有吵闹的中国人。 返回市区的路程可能因为堵车而花费了更长时间。 我们的导游马义航在沟通方面非常出色和清晰。他是一位多语言、友好且有礼貌的年轻人，他确保每个人都享受了这次旅行。我们的团队主要由台湾人组成，加上一些香港人，因此他在沟通时使用普通话。在与香港人聊天时，他也说得一口流利的粤语。他还与我们分享了有用的旅游信息。总的来说，他在带领我们的团队方面做得非常出色！

Perfect tour guide, perfect scenery, perfect relaxation, perfect people and food. However, the pre-trip transfer contact was not proactive enough, and they couldn't provide accurate information, which made me uneasy.
