Kota Kinabalu: Catamaran, Paddleboard, Kayak, Snorkeling Tour
Super relaxing...
Super relaxing experience. We had a guide for snorkeling, a captain, and a tour guide. We were a small group. Everyone was extremely friendly and it was a lot of fun. You can also go SUPing.

A great river trip
A great river trip. Plenty of wildlife to see. A surprise to me was how enchanting the fireflies were. A knowledgeable guide with very good english. If I'd had time i would have booked again.
