Sabah Prehliadky loďou

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Plavba po rieke Bongawan, Sabah Úžasný zážitok od začiatku do konca. Mali sme šťastie, že sme popri rieke spozorovali opice s dlhým nosom aj opice s dlhým chvostom, čo plavbu ešte viac ozvláštnilo 🐒🌿 Scenéria bola počas celej cesty nádherná, najmä zastávka na pláži s pokojnými, otvorenými výhľadmi. Západ slnka bol absolútne ohromujúci, obloha sa nad riekou sfarbila do zlata 🌅 Vrcholom pre mňa boli určite svetlušky v noci. Mangrovy sa rozžiarili ako vo sne a jedna svetluška mi dokonca pristála na ruke – taký čarovný okamih ✨ Veľká vďaka našim sprievodcom Garymu, Edwardovi a Kevinovi za to, že boli priateľskí, ochotní a celú cestu urobili hladkou a príjemnou. Ak ste v Sabahu, toto je určite aktivita, ktorú musíte zažiť. Relaxačné, krásne a nezabudnuteľné.

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.

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!

We were a group ranging from 8yrs to 71yrs. This trip was great for all! The transfer was comfortable, we saw Proboscis and long tail 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 12yr old’s day! Our guide, Cathy was wonderful, we learned a lot about the mangroves and the creatures because of her!

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! 🌴🐠✨

What a wonderful experience! Before departure, customer service proactively contacted me and created a group chat. On the day of departure, a staff member was even arranged to meet us in the early morning and guide us to the meeting point on their way to work. This staff member also spoke fluent Mandarin and Cantonese, making the first stop of our trip full of pleasant surprises! They also offered thoughtful photo services, including free underwater photos and videos. It was absolutely delightful!

Overall, had a great day snorkeling at 3 different spots. Managed to see some nemo fishes!! Expect that there will be some wait time in the morning before getting onto the boats. But every other time when the boat picks us up after the snorkeling/diving sessions, it’s a very easy process to follow. We had Chong as our snorkeling guide who was very helpful to point out where certain fishes are so we were able to catch a glimpse of the sea creatures and enjoy our time more. The lunch provided was simple but pretty good — had the mushroom and chicken rice. I can’t remember the other driving guide and boat driver’s name but they were great too. Thank you to this team:)
