Reviews: Tanjong Aru Beach SUP 2.5 hours [Tanjong Aru Sunrise and Sunset SUP Experience 2.5 hours in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah | 0 basic teaching]
Guest User2026-01-21
It was an unforgettable and enjoyable experience. Upon arriving at the beach, our guide provided English language guidance and a paddleboarding lesson. Afterwards, we entered the water, where our guide took photos of each of us individually, and we were free to paddleboard freely. The scenery was truly beautiful, and I loved how passionately they took our photos. However, if you don't choose the pick-up service, you'll be picked up at DBKK CAR PARK in Tanjung Aru. Be careful not to confuse it with DBKK PARKING!★

Reviews: Morning Session | Mari Mari Cultural Village Tour + Big Prawn Laksa Lunch | Join-In Tour
Guest User2026-01-21
It was a truly blissful tour. First of all, the facilities were of excellent quality, and the nature was beautiful. It wasn't just a tour of the Folk Village; it was all hands-on, which was incredibly enjoyable. The traditional foods we sampled here and there were delicious, and we were free to experiment, like playing instruments or climbing up the structures. At the end, we watched a performance and got henna applied. All the staff were so energetic and fun, which was truly enjoyable. Above all, the guides were friendly and fun. And they were handsome! The Folk Village staff were also cheerful and kind. I think it would be a great place to go with friends! It was such a fun experience. Oh, and for lunch, we had laksa, a rich, green curry-flavored soup. It was delicious!★

Reviews: SSI Open Water Diver Course 3 Days | Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
Guest User2025-05-07
The underwater world is truly amazing! This diving certification trip included seeing shipwrecks and diving out to see coral reefs. Here are my reasons for recommending it:
1. Excellent Sense of Security
I chose SSI because the one-on-two format provides a greater sense of security compared to one-on-four. Luckily, my instructor's instructor also came, making it a one-on-one session, which felt incredibly safe. 💪
2. Smooth and Trustworthy Communication
Before the trip, the instructor created a WeChat group. The replies in the group were very formal and written, which was a bit intimidating 😨 like robotic replies. However, once we arrived in person, we found that the instructor spoke excellent Mandarin and also spoke Cantonese and Hakka. Communication was smooth, and my friend and I trusted him completely.
3. Encouraging Learning
During the interactive lessons, the instructor asked what percentage of air is nitrogen. I said 78%, and my friend said 72%. The instructor didn't directly contradict my friend, explaining that 72% is the percentage of land on Earth. He also actively encouraged us during the practical sessions, believing that making mistakes is a good thing during the learning phase. This is a small detail that earned me a positive review. 👍
