Although the whole trip took a long time, it was worth it to see the fireflies in the woods at the end. The staff even called the fireflies to fly into the boat and land on the guests, which was very exciting. The sunset was also beautiful.

It is convenient and fast, and can save a lot of time on vacation and annoying communication. Hotel pick-up can also be arranged. I recommend it to everyone!

Both the driver and the instructor were perfect. Very enthusiastic and actively helped us, and we learned very quickly. It was the first time to play the paddle board and we could master it smoothly. We saw a very beautiful sunset and sea. I highly recommend everyone to experience it!

We enjoyed the entire activity and were blessed with a beautiful sunset. The guides were patient with us and took care of 4 of us. One of them was a 5-year-old boy :)

We booked this tour not knowing it's sort of a private tour (not private boat). We (2 of us) were the only ones being attended. Thanks David for letting us know where are the best snorkeling spots! We enjoyed ourselves. Although TBH, you can do this by yourself but our belongings are well looked after so we had a worry free and hassle free experience that comes with lunch.

There are only a few proboscis monkeys, and it is not easy to see them clearly. Fortunately, I have seen them in Brunei and Lokawi Zoos. There are many snacks and dinner is buffet style.
