Tuaran-ல் செய்ய வேண்டியவை

மற்ற விருந்தினர்கள் ஏன் வரவில்லை என்று தெரியவில்லை என்றாலும், நானும் என் துணையும் ஒரு கார் மற்றும் ஒரு படகை தனியாகப் பயன்படுத்தினோம். நாங்கள் வந்ததும், முதலில் ஒரு பொதுவான இடத்தில் சாப்பிட்டோம். சாப்பிட்ட பிறகு, ரப்பர் படகு ராஃப்டிங் செய்ய எங்களை துறைமுகத்திற்கு அழைத்துச் சென்றார்கள். எனக்கு நீச்சல் தெரியாது என்று பயிற்சியாளரிடம் முன்பே தெரிவித்திருந்தேன். ஆரம்பத்தில் மிகவும் பயமாக இருந்தது, ஆனால் நடுப்பகுதியில் அது மிகவும் உற்சாகமாகவும் பாதுகாப்பாகவும் இருந்தது. பயிற்சியாளர் மிகவும் திறமையானவர், வேடிக்கையானவர் மற்றும் நகைச்சுவையானவர். அவருக்கு உச்சரிப்புடன் ஆங்கிலம் தெரிந்தாலும், தகவல்தொடர்பில் எந்த தடையும் இல்லை. மேலும், சில இடங்களில் எங்களுக்காக புகைப்படங்கள் எடுக்க ஒரு புகைப்படக் கலைஞரும் இருந்தார். அவர்களின் தொகுப்பில் மதிய உணவு, மாலை தேநீர் மற்றும் இரவு உணவு ஆகியவை அடங்கும். அவை மிகவும் சுவையாகவும் நிறைவாகவும் இல்லாவிட்டாலும், நாங்கள் திருப்தி அடைந்தோம். மேலும், வழிகாட்டி எங்களை ஒரு ஆளில்லா தீவுக்கு அழைத்துச் சென்று, எங்களுக்காக மிக அழகான புகைப்படங்களை எடுத்தார். அது மிகவும் ஆச்சரியமாக இருந்தது. கடைசியாக, வழிகாட்டி மின்மினிப் பூச்சிகளை ஈர்க்க மிகவும் முயற்சி செய்தார், அது ஒரு மாயாஜால இரவு. ஆனால் மொபைல் போனில் மின்மினிப் பூச்சிகளைப் படம் பிடிப்பது கடினம். கண்களால் பார்ப்பது மிகவும் அற்புதமாக இருந்தது, அது ஒரு நிறைவான நாள்.

Well organised. My family enjoyed the whole experience. Basic clean facilities. Lunch was nice at the end of the acivity.

Overall the rafting and cultural village tour was a great experience. The water level was a bit low but it was still fun and suitable for beginners. Our guide Jeff gave detailed explanations and is very helpful. Got to try different food and snacks from the native culture. Highly recommend

Our family and a friend's family, 4 adults and 4 children, signed up for this tour. We were picked up at our hotel at 7:30 AM, followed by a 2.5-hour drive to the Mount Kinabalu viewpoint. The city roads from Kota Kinabalu to Mount Kinabalu were congested, but our guide was flexible and accommodated the children's restroom breaks along the way. After taking many photos at the viewpoint, we headed to Desa Farm. On the way, we made a detour to a local fruit shop. Our tour guide, Jeff, introduced us to fruits we had never seen before, and we bought and ate one or two of each. We were excited by fruits we had never heard of or seen, like apple jelly, avocado cheese, and snake fruit! The avocado cheese tasted like sweet steamed pumpkin, with a texture and flavor unlike any fruit! It was delicious. From there, we went to Desa Farm. Located at an altitude of about 1,500m, it wasn't too hot and was very comfortable! The weather was clear with few clouds, and we took many great photos with the sharp ridges of Mount Kinabalu in the background. Was that a sun halo? Jeff smoothly guided us through recommended activities like soft-serve ice cream and feeding calves and goats. Jeff, who is also a father of four, is knowledgeable about funny TikTok videos, and our children had a blast taking funny videos with him, making it a very satisfying experience. Afterward, we had lunch at a nearby restaurant and then went rafflesia watching. We were worried if we would see any, as they only bloom for 5-7 days a year, but we saw two blooming rafflesias! We also saw buds and withered ones, which was a unique experience only available locally. Nearby, there were also cacao and durian trees! I was surprised to see durians growing on such tall trees. By this point, it was past 3 PM. The children were getting tired, so we decided to change the itinerary and head back. The morning traffic jam was long. On the way back, there was a strange cloud hanging over the summit of Mount Kinabalu. Jeff told us it was a rare sight. The return journey was also a bit congested, but we managed to get back to the hotel around 7 PM. We had originally planned to be back by 5:30 PM, but the road congestion and it being summer vacation season caused delays. I recommend bringing a bit more cash, as there are places at the rafflesia site that don't accept credit cards for insect repellent, and some restaurants for lunch. Thank you, Jeff, for a fun tour! The magnificent scenery and your enjoyable assistance made it a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

The itinerary was very well organized, allowing us to visit several spots in one trip. The duration at each stop was just right, so it never felt rushed. Our first stop was the observation deck, where there were many fruit vendors nearby selling fresh and delicious fruits! The best part was realizing later in the city that the fruit here was actually the cheapest! The farm was also a lot of fun; for 20 Malaysian Ringgit, you could feed milk and forage to the animals, and the yogurt and milk ice cream were amazing! The fish spa was very entertaining, and the tour guide taught us feeding techniques. It was a bit scary at first. Lunch was better than expected, featuring vegetables, meat, and fruit. The tour included a complimentary ATV experience, allowing us to ride through the wilderness. We were very lucky to see a Rafflesia flower this time; although it had been blooming for five days and was starting to turn dark, there was still an unopened bud right next to it. On the way back, we had roasted wild boar and pulled tea. The roasted wild boar is highly recommended! The two of us shared a portion and were left wanting more. Overall, the value for money is extremely high, and I highly recommend it!

A delightful little place to visit, it’s well-kept and plenty of photo opp although photography is not allowed inside (it’s okay). The souvenir shop is nice too.

We had a wonderful trip. We were so lucky to be the only participants so we ended up with a private tour. Our guide was helpful when getting in and out if the kajak and he also told us about the area along the way. Our driver Tam was also very talkative. He had a history lesson with my boyfriend the entire drive back to our hotel which was really funny. I would really recommend this trip if you want a beautiful sunset and a more active tour.

It was a wonderful experience especially for my 4 year old grandson. Gliding through the river in total darkness, seeing the trees illuminated by dozens of blinking lights and feeling the fragile fireflies in our hands - is something that we will not be able to forget for a long time. We were also able to take awesome photos during the sunset photo taking stop over. The boat crew were very attentive and provided us with information about not only the fireflies and wildlife but also life of the locals in the vicinity. It’s the perfect way to spend an evening in nature's embrace with the people you love.
