Aula de Stand Up Paddle Boarding em Kota Kinabalu

Sesi SUP matahari terbenam sangat ajaib. Tadi hujan, tetapi laut tenang setelah itu. Sesi taklimat telah dijalankan dan kami pun bertolak untuk mengejar matahari terbenam. Kami diberkati dengan pemandangan matahari terbenam yang ajaib apabila matahari tiba-tiba muncul dari awan. Terima kasih banyak kepada semua pengajar; Joe, Dafi, Al dan Nizam, kerana mengajar dan membimbing kami. Mereka semua ramah, membantu dan bersemangat untuk memberikan kami pengalaman SUP yang terbaik. SUP matahari terbenam ini kini menjadi salah satu kenangan terbaik saya di Sabah!

The SUP guide and coach, Joe, was super nice, friendly, and professional. During the trip, he took many amazing pictures for us. We really thank Joe a lot for bringing us to a beautiful spot to see the starfish 😊

It was a great experience, but the pickup arrangement took a whole hour, going to four different places, circling around, and waiting for people. If you call a Grab yourself and go directly to the designated spot, it only takes 15 minutes. For those who don't like waiting, calling a Grab is faster. The coach's explanations were excellent, humorous, and very professional. Before sliding to the designated spot, they connect the boards with leashes. One coach usually pulls about 2-7 students. Even if you can't stand up, someone will pull you while you're sitting, or even lying down if you wish. The coaches are extremely friendly to female students. When you reach the sandbar at sunset, you can take off your bulky life jackets, and if you're down to just a bikini, they'll take turns helping you take photos from sunrise to sunset. My wife and I also got some photos; we had about a minute for our photo session. I suggest men just look out for themselves, unhook and slide around and play on your own. It's worth participating.

非常棒的旅行体验。教练们非常乐于助人，而且很幽默。他们把所有的板子都连接在一起，所以我们在海中央感觉非常安全。所有的工作人员都非常擅长拍照，而且很有耐心。物有所值。

Terima kasih Bapak Jo atas pelayanan dan kegembiraan yang luar biasa ini. Saya menghargai momen dan berbagi pengalaman serta kebaikan mereka yang luar biasa. Mohon jaga diri dan sampai jumpa lagi. Rasa syukur, terima kasih sekali lagi atas kenangan indah ini.

Thank you Jo for an amazing lesson, we had such wonderful morning! we booked a sunrise lesson for Friday morning but we had to reschedule due to a personal reason. Jo was so kind and understanding and with no problem he rescheduled it for another day. He is such a lovely and interesting man. He also tailored the lesson according to our ability. He came to pick us up and dropped us off back to the hotel. And to add that he is an amazing photographer! I highly recommend him!!!

There are so many marine activities in Kota Kinabalu, but paddleboarding is something you can do even if you can't swim and enjoy even if you're easily scared! It rained often throughout our trip, so I was very worried on the day of the tour, but the rain was light, and we saw a double rainbow and an orange sunset through the clouds! The sky was filled with beautiful yellow and orange sunset colors. But I couldn't take pictures because I was busy paddling ㅠㅠ. Two handsome and kind guides explained things so well that 3 out of 4 of my family members succeeded in standing on the board! Most people on other tours ride sitting down, but on this tour, the guides helped a lot so that even beginners could stand and ride! The guides also took really good photos; I thought they were professional photographers ㅠㅠ. If I get a chance before returning home, I'd love to do it again! I highly recommend paddleboarding at Tanjung Aru Beach, where you can enjoy double rainbows and beautiful sunsets!!!!

It was the most special experience during my 6 days in Kota Kinabalu! The hotel pickup before the tour and drop-off after the tour were very convenient, and the instructors were kind and fun. Although the showering facilities after the itinerary were a bit lacking, it was sufficient to rinse off the seawater salt. Photos were shared via Airdrop or WhatsApp, so it would be good for those who don't have an iPhone to install the app in advance! I highly, highly recommend this to anyone who truly wants to experience the 'Pinkish Tanjung Aru'!

Joe-san, and the handsome staff member, thank you very much for a wonderful time! My mother and I participated! The polite and interesting instruction before entering the sea was perfect! Even if you don't understand much English, it's okay! They teach you with gestures. They also took photos for us at photo spots only accessible on this tour. We were able to slowly enjoy the contrast of the sunset and the sea, and the sky changing to pink! Since we participated on a Sunday, we were also able to eat dinner at a food stall very close by. We are very satisfied! It became a very good memory! Thank you very much.

Both the driver and the instructor were absolutely perfect. They were very enthusiastic and actively helped us, and we learned very quickly. Even as first-timers, we were able to master paddleboarding smoothly. We saw a beautiful sunset and the sea. I highly recommend everyone to come and experience it!
