It’s fun, the staff are friendly, and things are pretty good. It’s very pleasant to play in the water and walk around on the island. It’s just that it’s very hot and it’s easy to get sunburned due to the volcanic mud. It’s a pity that it was canceled due to maintenance and there’s no alternative itinerary. I’m a little disappointed, but I still had a lot of fun.

Master Quan led me to the diffrent sights of Sepanggar Island. A bit worried about the visibility of the water because of the rainy season, but seems like you don’t have to worry about it. The 3rd dive was looking around the 3 Vietnamese ship wrecks near the shore. I do not know how come Vietnamese ships came all the way there and end up sinking 🤣The blurry vision on that spot gets you a bit spooky feelings. and you will see the mysteriously intertwined ship wrecks. At the end of the dive before you get to the surface, you might have a chance to say hello to the see-walking tourists. Hope you guys show some joy to them. Pictures are about the Island.

This is the most fireflies I have seen in my life so far. They are like flaming trees and silver flowers. I am deeply moved visually, mentally and even to my soul. It is a pity that I cannot take a photo of that beauty. I can only keep it in my heart and mind.

We went on a day trip to Kundasang. Alex drove us. He was not only talkative but also took good care of us and our 11-month-old baby. He also helped us take beautiful photos. We asked the company to provide a baby car seat. In addition, we changed some of the itinerary because we didn't want to go to the suspension bridge. As long as it could fit in the time, he arranged it for us. He also took us to eat delicious roasted wild boar meat. Thank him so much... The most important thing is that it was very easy to talk to him along the way. He also shared the knowledge that a tour guide should have so that we know where the place is and what the story is. I would like to continue to ask him to take me if I have the opportunity to come again in the future 😊
