Sabah Mga paglilibot sa bangka

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!

Napakaganda at komportableng karanasan sa island hopping. Ang biyahe sa bangka ay maayos at mahangin, napakaganda ng panahon noong araw na iyon. Parehong may napakagandang dalampasigan ang Sapi at Manukan Island. Ang tour guide, si Nanak, ay napakabait at sinagot ang lahat ng aming tanong, tinulungan din niya ang lahat na alagaan ang kanilang mga bag at gamit. Ang banana boat at snorkeling ay dapat subukan. Nakakita kami ng ilang uri ng isda, limitado ang snorkeling sa mga lugar malapit sa dalampasigan ngunit marami pa ring isda ang makikita. Napakainit ng araw kaya kailangan maglagay ng sunscreen upang maiwasan ang sunburn. Sapat din ang oras at natapos nang maaga bandang 3pm.

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!

Napakagandang karanasan ang pagpunta sa Mataking at Pom Pom Island. Hindi kami nakahinto sa Timba Timba Island dahil sa mga restriksyon ng gobyerno, gayunpaman, huminto kami sa isang lugar para mag-snorkel. Napakabait ng aming gabay sa pagkuha ng mga litrato para sa amin, nakakita kami ng maraming pagong kahapon at mga tropikal na isda na may magagandang coral reef. Nakakita rin kami ng lion fish. Nagkaroon kami ng isang napakagandang karanasan na minsan lang mangyari sa buhay. Irerekomenda ko ang tour na ito!

Humigit-kumulang 20 hanggang 30 katao ang grupo, at kaming dalawa lang ang Hapones. Karamihan sa mga kalahok ay mga Tsino, kaya ang tour ay kadalasang nasa wikang Tsino, ngunit ipinaliwanag ito ng tour guide sa amin sa Ingles sa bawat pagkakataon at palagi kaming binabantayan. Umabot nang mahigit isang oras ang biyahe patungo sa isla sakay ng isang mabilis na cruise ship. Sobrang bilis nito at medyo maalon! 😂 Ngunit dahil napakabilis ng bangka, parang wala ka namang panahong mahilo, ha ha. Nagpatugtog din ng musika ang mga guide sa loob ng barko para masaya, kaya naging masaya rin ang oras ng paglalakbay. Bago at malinis ang mga pasilidad sa isla. May kumpletong banyo, shower room, at hair dryer, kaya naging komportable ang aming pananatili. Nagkaroon muna ng safety briefing bago ang snorkeling, at may nag-iisang staff na nakatutok sa aming dalawa na nagpakita ng mga paalala na nakasalin sa Hapones habang nagpapaliwanag. Sinisiguro rin nila sa bawat pagkakataon na naiintindihan namin nang mabuti, kaya naramdaman namin na napakahusay ng kanilang pagpapahalaga sa kaligtasan. Sa snorkeling, pumunta kami sa dalawang lugar sakay ng bangka. Napakaganda at napakawarla ng dagat! 🐠 Palagi ring binabantayan ng mga guide ang aming kalagayan at pinasaya kami habang inaalagaan ang aming kaligtasan. Pagbalik sa isla, inihanda ang isang masaganang hapunan tulad ng alimango at hipon, at may malayang inumin din 🦀🦐 Pagkatapos noon ay oras na para sa sariling lakad. Tumambay lang kami sa ilalim ng payong sa beach. Nang sumapit ang oras, sumakay ulit kami sa napakabilis na cruise ship pauwi. Dahil maagang nagsimula ang tour, medyo pagod na kami pauwi, ngunit naging sulit at makabuluhan ang buong araw. Ang tanging pinagsisisihan ko lang ay nakalimutan kong magbigay ng tip sa aming mabait na guide sa pag-alis namin. Ganoon sila naging kabait hanggang sa dulo. Dahil humigit-kumulang 90% ng mga kalahok ay mga Tsino, maaaring medyo kabahan kayo sa simula kung kayong mga Hapones lamang ang sasali. Gayunpaman, marami ang mga guide at staff na talagang nag-alaga at nagbigay-pansin sa amin bilang mga Hapones, kaya sa huli, naging masaya at walang pag-aalala ang aming karanasan. Maganda ang dagat, masaya ang snorkeling, at masagana ang pagkain. Ang pinaka-tumatak sa akin ay ang mainit na suporta ng lahat ng mga staff. Lubos kong irerekomenda ang tour na ito kahit sa mga nag-aalangan dahil sa kaunting bilang ng mga kalahok na Hapones! 🌴🐠✨

We participated in the company trip with 8 people. We were the only Japanese, and most of the other tourists on Mantanani Island were Chinese. Our guide, Xiao Zhong, was particularly excellent. We were initially concerned because the tour was primarily in Chinese and English, but he used a translation device to explain everything to us. The snorkeling, proboscis monkeys, and fireflies were wonderful. Although we had to wait for over 30 minutes due to a sudden downpour, it was an amazing experience overall.

Napakasayang karanasan! Bago ang pag-umaga, kusa akong kinontak ng customer service, gumawa ng group chat, at sa araw mismo ng aming pag-alis ay nag-assign pa sila ng empleyado para ihatid kami sa meeting point habang papasok siya sa trabaho. Nakapagsasalita rin ang empleyadong ito ng matatas na Mandarin at Cantonese, kaya naman ang unang yugto ng aming biyahe ay puno ng sorpresa! Mayroon ding maasikasong serbisyo sa pagkuha ng litrato, pati na rin ang libreng underwater photos at videos. Sobrang saya!

Our tour guide this time was Little Bear 🐻, along with many enthusiastic crew members. The boat was in excellent condition—new and very clean. Both the upper and lower decks were great for taking photos, and you could move around freely. First, the yacht departed for the water club to drop off our belongings. Then, a speedboat took everyone to Saphi Island for about 30 minutes to wade in the water and take pictures. Afterward, we returned to the water club to enjoy the slide, snorkeling, and SUP (these three activities were free). Staff members were present throughout, ensuring safety. If you purchased other water activities, you would be taken to a more distant location to enjoy them. For lunch, there was a simple buffet. I think it's a great place to relax. Highly recommend!

The guys were experienced well trained, and very professional
