Reviews: KIULU White Water River Rafting with Transfer
Guest User2025-12-27
The travel agency sent a driver to shuttle to a rafting shop on the Jiulu River
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!

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!
