Reviews: Paddleboarding (1-5 hours) [Tanjung Aru Sunrise & Sunset Paddleboarding, Fishing, kayaking, SUP Experience Half-Day Tour]

I had a great time paddle boarding. The guide gave clear instructions and took lots of pictures for me. Unfortunately, there was no sunset that evening, but it was still a great experience.

The stand-up paddleboarding experience at Tanjung Aru Beach was fantastic, lasting approximately 2.5 hours. Both the sunrise and sunset views were beautiful. Everything was very well organized. The pick-up and drop-off service was punctual and reliable. Our guide/driver was excellent. Special praise goes to our instructors, several outstanding young women! They patiently taught and demonstrated the correct techniques, constantly encouraged us, and even took many wonderful photos for us. The entire experience was very reassuring and enjoyable. Furthermore, the facilities were excellent, with showers and changing rooms, and all necessary equipment was provided. I definitely recommend this activity!

Reviews: SSI Open Water Diver Course 2 Day | Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

It was a fantastic experience! I took my daughter diving, and although I thought it would be a two-on-one session, our instructor Chris thoughtfully arranged for us to have a one-on-one session. He was professional, patient, and provided very detailed explanations throughout. When I forgot what he had said underwater due to fear, Chris patiently came up and repeated it to me. A good diving instructor is truly crucial; safety comes first, and he helps maintain a beginner's interest in learning to dive. I hope to continue my advanced learning here next time.
