Sabah Prehliadky loďou

We had such a great time on this tour, and a big part of it was thanks to our tour guide, Kelvin! Kelvin was our driver, tour guide and also our photographer for the day. He was very knowledgeable and made the mangrove and fireflies tour really enjoyable. He introduced us to the different animals we saw, including the proboscis monkeys, and shared interesting facts about what they eat, their digestion and their behaviour. It was really interesting to learn about them along the way. He was also very entertaining and took great care of us throughout the whole trip. He definitely went above and beyond, especially when he took the time to help us take photos at the sunset spot. We really appreciated how attentive and thoughtful he was. Also, a big shoutout to his co-tour guide, Gary, who was equally helpful and made the experience even better. Thank you, Kelvin and Gary, for such a memorable day!

Veľmi pekný a útulný zážitok zo skákania po ostrovoch. Plavba loďou bola hladká a veterná, počasie bolo v ten deň veľmi dobré. Ostrovy Sapi aj Manukan mali veľmi pekné pláže. Sprievodca Nanak bol veľmi priateľský a odpovedal na všetky naše otázky, tiež pomohol každému postarať sa o svoje tašky a veci. Jazda na banáne a šnorchlovanie sú nevyhnutnosťou. Podarilo sa nám vidieť pomerne veľa druhov rýb, šnorchlovanie je obmedzené na oblasti blízko pobrežia, ale dá sa spozorovať dosť rýb. Slnko je veľmi silné, takže je potrebné použiť opaľovací krém, aby ste predišli spáleniu. Času bolo tiež dostatok a skončili sme pomerne skoro o 15:00.

We had a wonderful time on the mangrove cruise! We were amazed to see animals we had never seen before. The fireflies were also incredibly beautiful. The way they gathered in the trees made them look just like Christmas trees. When the captain called to them, the fireflies gently fluttered over to him. It was like watching magic happen right before our eyes. Our guide, Jason, was also very kind and taught us so many interesting things. We learned for the first time that male and female proboscis monkeys have different nose shapes. We were truly grateful that Jason always treated us with a smile, even though our English wasn't very good. It was a wonderful experience and a memory we will treasure for a long time. Thank you so much!

Skvelý zážitok z návštevy ostrovov Mataking a Pom Pom. Na ostrove Timba Timba sme nemohli zastaviť kvôli vládnym obmedzeniam, avšak zastavili sme sa v oblasti na šnorchlovanie. Sprievodca nám veľmi ochotne fotil, včera sme videli mnoho morských korytnačiek a tropických rýb s krásnymi koralovými útesmi. Videli sme aj perutína. Bol to skvelý zážitok, ktorý sa stane raz za život. Túto prehliadku by som odporučil!

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! 🌴🐠✨

Zúčastnili sme sa firemného výletu ôsmich zamestnancov, boli sme jediní Japonci, väčšina ľudí na ostrove Mantanani boli Číňania. Sprievodca Xiao Zhong bol obzvlášť vynikajúci; obávali sme sa, pretože prehliadka bola v čínštine a angličtine, ale všetko nám vysvetlil pomocou prekladača. Šnorchlovanie, opice kahau a svetlušky boli úžasné. Hoci sme museli čakať viac ako 30 minút kvôli búrke, bol to skvelý zážitok.

Veľmi príjemný zážitok! Zákaznícky servis ma pred odchodom sám kontaktoval, vytvoril skupinový chat a v deň odchodu, skoro ráno, dokonca zabezpečil zamestnanca, ktorý nás po ceste do práce odviedol na miesto stretnutia. Tento zamestnanec hovoril plynule mandarínčinou aj kantónčinou, čo bolo pre nás hneď na začiatku cesty obrovským prekvapením! Nechýbala ani pozorná fotografická služba a bezplatné fotky a videá vo vode, mali sme obrovskú radosť!

Tentokrát bol sprievodcom Little Bear 🐻 a mnoho nadšených členov posádky. Loď bola vo výbornom stave, nová a veľmi čistá. Na hornej aj dolnej palube sa dalo voľne pohybovať a robiť skvelé fotografie. Najprv jachta vyplávala do vodného klubu, kde sme si odložili veci, a potom nás rýchloloďou odviezli na ostrov Shapi, kde sme si asi 30 minút užívali vodu a fotili sa. Následne sme sa vrátili do vodného klubu, kde sme sa zabávali na šmykľavke, šnorchlovali a vyskúšali SUP (tieto tri aktivity boli zadarmo). Počas celého času bol s nami personál, takže to bolo veľmi bezpečné. Ak si priplatíte za iné vodné aktivity, odvezú vás na vzdialenejšie miesta, kde sa môžete zabaviť 🤣 Na obed bol k dispozícii jednoduchý bufet. Myslím, že na relax je to skvelé miesto. Odporúčam!

The guys were experienced well trained, and very professional
