The experience was really relaxing and professional, all the details were taken care of. From the warm welcome at the door to the excellent service throughout the entire process, every employee was very friendly and professional. The massage technique was meticulous and effective, helping me release all the tension and stress in my body. The effect was amazing, it made me feel relaxed and refreshed, and even improved my sleep quality. This experience not only made me feel refreshed, but also made me pay more attention to my physical and mental health. This was a very worthwhile investment, the quality of service and facilities exceeded my expectations. This is really great value for money, highly recommended for anyone who needs to relax and de-stress 😘👍🏼

This is the first time I used Klook to go to the 3 islands. It was the best with the staff who were so efficient in giving us information. The service was good and satisfactory, the boat was big and the best. Next time if I come to Sabah and go to the islands I will use the service through Klook.

Hidden shop. The coffee scrub full body massage is very special. Press it down to give you a very fragrant coffee smell. The masseur was very serious and did a great job throughout the process. Great value for money!

Super value for money. At the first attraction, you can choose whether to take photos at the floating mosque at your own expense, and the reserved time is also sufficient. Later in the trip we went to see proboscis monkeys. The tour guide and the captain would try their best to find them and then take turns taking photos for everyone. When it came time for dinner, the food was not what I was looking forward to, but I ended up having it twice and it really went well with the meal. The following sunset happened to be a cloudy day that turned into nice weather. Because it was so beautiful, the tour guide allowed us 5 more minutes to take pictures. Finally, the fireflies are so beautiful that it is indescribable. It is really touching to see them glowing together in the same forest at the same time. Before starting, I thought that since there were only a bunch of fireflies in Taiwan, it would be okay, but in the end, I was glad that I chose this itinerary.

I think you are the most experienced guide. We preferred Manukan Island over Mamutik because it is bigger.

Good value for money. First arrive at the shop, the receptionist will contact and confirm the treatment selected by the customer, and have a form to fill in the location of the customer want to focus massage, the massage is to the same building. The massage technician's skills are good.
