Review of Kota Kinabalu’s guided snorkeling trip, with three marine park stops, lunch, small groups, expert guides, and practical tips.
“This was definitely one of the best experiences of my life. I am a nervous swimmer and was a bit overwhelmed when I entered the water. But the divers with me were exceptional - so calm and composed, helping me with a smile while I was going bonkers 😪 I was alone in the group but the divers checked on me regularly and the other guests were super sweet. After the initial fear, once you put your head in the water - you are literally in another world. Colourful fishes dashing around you, corals just dancing in the water. I have seen fishes in all colours in one dip. Unreal!!!…”
Explore Kek Lok Si Temple and ride Penang Hill’s funicular on a four-hour guided tour with hotel pickup and priority access.
“I had a great tour with G-Shen for Kek Lok Si temple and Penang hill today. The tour was supposed to be 5 participants (much better than big bus group tour already), but the group of 4 had personal issue, had last minute cancellation, so it became my personal tour, was a nice surprise! G-shen is very engaging, informative, his local knowledge is second to none, he was also nice enough gave me a bit of extra drive around downtown historical area because of the time was early. Overall I enjoyed the tour very much, had a holistic understanding of the city, I would definitely recommend the tour.”
