Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Kawa-Kawa River Cruise Proboscis Monkey & Fireflies with Hi-Tea & Dinner Shared Day Tour
Guest User2025-11-17
Our guide, Tommy, was very friendly and kind. There were three of us traveling together, and he took wonderful photos of us at many great photo spots. During the river cruise and even in the car while we were traveling, he taught us so many things, and we had an amazing time from start to finish. We had so much fun! We would love to visit Kota Kinabalu again.

Reviews: Sabah Mantanani Island Day Trip [Limited-Time Special Offer | New Resort | Optional Diving/Mangrove Retreat]
Guest User2025-11-13
Let me share my honest experience of snorkeling at Mantanani Island: the surprises outweighed the disappointments. The seawater was incredibly clean; you could clearly see corals and small fish of various species while snorkeling, making it a much better experience than other island snorkeling trips I've had. The instructors would lead us to areas with dense schools of fish and even use breadcrumbs to attract them; the feeling of being surrounded by fish was truly magical.

Reviews: Mengalum Island snorkeling 1-day tour includes lunch
Guest User2025-08-01
It's a fantastic island, a pineal room. I got a lot of life shots. It's not easy to take a boat for an hour, but if you look at the beautiful island, all this effort will be rewarded. However, most of them are Chinese. I hope you consider this.
