Reviews: Tanjung Aru Beach Stand-Up Paddleboarding 2.5 hr [Kota Kinabalu Tanjung Aru Sunrise Sunset Paddleboarding 2.5 hr/Kayaking Sabah Malaysia]

Guest User2025-11-22

I booked the sunrise paddleboard last night, and I can use it right away today. Fifi's instructions were simple and easy to understand, and she took good care of me reassuringly. Even though I can't swim, I could stand up confidently. Plus, her photography skills are top-notch 🤣~ It's great!

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

Guest User2025-08-15

The city pick-up and drop-off was a little late, but it didn't affect the arrangements after arrival. The changing area was very basic, so I recommend changing beforehand. There won't be much time to change after the activity, so I suggest bringing a large towel to wrap yourself in to avoid catching a cold. The paddleboard driver was very friendly, constantly helping us take photos and taking us to spots with good sunset views until sunset before heading back.

Reviews: Tanjung Aru Beach 2.5-Hour SUP Experience in Kota Kinabalu | Sunrise/Sunset Paddleboarding with Beginner Lessons

Guest User2026-01-21

It was an unforgettable and enjoyable experience. Upon arriving at the beach, our guide provided English language guidance and a paddleboarding lesson. Afterwards, we entered the water, where our guide took photos of each of us individually, and we were free to paddleboard freely. The scenery was truly beautiful, and I loved how passionately they took our photos. However, if you don't choose the pick-up service, you'll be picked up at DBKK CAR PARK in Tanjung Aru. Be careful not to confuse it with DBKK PARKING!
