This trip was definitely my highlight of 6-day vacation in KK. The trip was well organized, with great itinerary and service from all the crew. We were being picked up on time at our hotel in KK by Jordan who drove smoothly and very kind. There were some selections of beverages for high tea (cold water, juice, coffee), also mung bean porridge and banana fritters, which were really good. During the cruise, we saw the proboscis monkeys, long tail, monitor lizard, and crocodile. Our guide, Garry was funny, knowledgeable, and was great in explaining about the animals & surrounding areas. We got back to the Jetty for early dinner with Malaysian cuisine buffet & it tasted delicious. Then we countinued the cruise to the mirror beach and took some pictures. On the way back, we got to see a lot of fireflies on the trees and Garry and the crew were good on inviting them to fly around us on the boat. Jordan then drove us back safely and comfortably to KK. Overall this tour is highly recommended!

Our Tour Guide Jerry was punctual with good vibes throughout our tour. Although I'm the only one who speaks English and most of the joiners were Chinese, he also explained in English so that I will be able to understand and makes sure that all is good. I had a so much fun and enjoyed the tour. He's also willing to take a picture and video on you. So going as solo joiner would not be difficulty ❤️ Highly recommended for Tourguide Jerry's service! Thank you.

Ian, nuestro guía turístico, fue muy informativo, genial y complaciente. Siempre se asegura de que no te sientas solo en el grupo. Te hará sentir que perteneces. Constantemente nos daba la historia del lugar. Este tour DEBE estar en tu lista de tours. Alejarse de la ciudad y sentir el clima fresco. El Monte Kota era impresionante. El puente colgante fue genial y también la Granja Lechera Desa. Queríamos ir a la cafetería en la Granja Desa pero no tuvimos mucho tiempo.

Pengalaman island hopping yang sangat menyenangkan dan nyaman. Perjalanan dengan perahu lancar dan berangin, cuaca sangat baik hari itu. Baik Pulau Sapi maupun Pulau Manukan memiliki pantai yang sangat indah. Pemandu wisata, Nanak, sangat ramah dan menjawab semua pertanyaan kami, juga membantu semua orang menjaga tas dan barang-barang mereka. Banana boat dan snorkeling wajib dicoba. Berhasil melihat beberapa spesies ikan, snorkeling terbatas pada area dekat pantai tetapi dapat melihat cukup banyak ikan. Matahari sangat terik jadi harus memakai tabir surya untuk mencegah kulit terbakar. Waktu juga cukup dan berakhir cukup awal pada jam 3 sore.

Highly recommend. The snorkeling tour is very professional and nice. Firstly, we took a boat to Mengalum Island and enjoyed the beach there. About 11:00 AM, we went to two beautiful snorkeling spots in total. There were all kinds of fish in both places, and we also saw starfish and octopuses 🐙. After lunch, we just enjoyed chill time on the beach 🏖️. I had a very wonderful and memorable experience on Mengalum Island. Happy new year and all the best wishes to the one who is reading the review 😬

Five-star experience! Five-star journey! A perfect trip! Our tour guide, Sue, contacted us via WhatsApp the night before and was incredibly patient in answering all our questions. Throughout the trip, she helped us take photos without any hesitation. There were some group members with very high photography demands, and Sue patiently assisted them as well. It's worth noting that our group was combined with several others, but all the guides knew each other, creating a fantastic atmosphere. One guide constantly played music through a large speaker, setting a lively mood and even matching themes, like playing Jay Chou's "Rice Field" when we were watching fireflies! Truly amazing! Be aware that the local mosquitoes are very aggressive and are not deterred by mosquito repellent or water, so this is something to watch out for. The sunset there is stunning! We had plenty of time for free activities and taking photos. My first snorkeling experience was also breathtaking. The only downside was that some people in the group might have been afraid of water, so we had to accommodate them and couldn't visit more spots, ending up spending about an hour at one location. You can rent a locker on the island for HKD$60, but it's actually not necessary; no one will steal your belongings on a deserted island… Watching the fireflies will definitely be an unforgettable experience! Photos can't capture the震撼 (shocking beauty); you'll understand once you go! P.S. The meeting time on that day was 7 AM! So we had to get up very early, but it was worth it.

We were a group ranging from 8 to 71 years old. This trip was great for everyone! The transfer was comfortable, we saw Proboscis and long-tailed macaques, crocodiles, and birds. The sunset was breathtaking, and the fireflies were so beautiful. On the beach, you can pay extra to ride a small ATV, which was likely the highlight of my 12-year-old's day! Our guide, Cathy, was wonderful; we learned a lot about the mangroves and the creatures because of her!

Our tour guide, John, explained everything in Chinese throughout the trip, including instructions and important notes, as the entire group spoke Chinese. We were very lucky to see proboscis monkeys and a waterfall of fireflies that looked like a Christmas tree (my phone couldn't capture it, but the guide provided photos as souvenirs). Holding fireflies gently in my hand was a truly wonderful experience. The guide also introduced us to Durian Street (I had walked past it the day before and thought it was just a regular market since the guide hadn't explained it, but it turns out they have Sabah fruit and durians, which are unique to Sabah and cheaper here; durian lovers should definitely try them) and Gaya Street. After the firefly watching on the weekend, you can get off directly here to explore. Experience: Excellent

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!
