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!

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.

I participated as the only Japanese person. It had been a while since my last dive, so I had the first dive be a refresher dive (this may depend on the number of other people in the group at the time). The instructors were nice and took care of me even though I got seasick. If you get seasick easily, it's a good idea to take precautions and let your instructor know how you feel when appropriate. On the last dive, we visited a sunken ship. It was dark and you couldn't see very far ahead, so it was a thrill and fun in its own way. I forgot to take pictures during the dive, but there were animals on the island. I recommend this diving tour to everyone!

I booked this trip one day before the departure date through Klook apps. Once booking done, we were informed through WhatsApp what to do and bring for the next day. The tour agent also sent information on vehicle plat number and driver name to us. On the next day, the driver pickup us from our hotel in Shangri la Resort Tanjung Aru. We were told by the driver, Johnson, that this trip took total 4 hours to and fro. (300km). 1st stop we took some picture at view point. It depends on the weather whether you can see the mountain or not. 2nd destination we were dropped at the Desa Dairy Farm. The trip included each one with 1 original fresh milk 250ml. Do try out the fresh youghurt , its yummy. 3rd we stopped by to fish feeding. 4th station we are brought to see Rafflesia , the world largest flower in Asia which tooks 9 months to develope and it has only 7 days once blomming. Do rmbr to bring enough cash in Ringgit Malaysia (entrance fee Rm30)to see Rafflesia and also enough bottle water as they do not provide water throughout the trip. After that we were brought for lunch. if you do not want to enter the hotspring, you may rest at the dining place. The last station we tried out the bbq roasted pork that tasted fantastic with a glass of teh tarik. Overall, its an well organised tour that worth the pay.
