Reviews: (Afternoon Session) Mari Mari Cultural Village + Big Prawn Laksa Lunch | Join-In Tour
Guest User2025-08-12
I took a lunch from the afternoon and a tour of the Marimari Cultural Village. Laksa was also delicious and arranged something that was not spicy for children. The tour contents of the Marimari Cultural Village were very good, and I was really glad I went. However, it seems that there was a miscommunication between the tour company and the Marimari Cultural Village, and it is said that the high tea that should be at the end of the Marimari Cultural Village is not included. It was said that it was included, and I changed two times in the second half. I was going to eat when I was checking the contents of the tour, so I told him I wanted to eat because I would pay an additional fee. As a result, it was said that it was incorporated into the original ã
tour, so it was good because I was able to enjoy it without additional charges, but it was not a very good impression that the explanation changed two times. The high tea was very good, so I think it's better to participate after checking in advance whether it's included in this tour.â

Candy was our tour guide & she was super friendly, genuine, and great at her job! Along the way, she recommended places to visit and brought us to Mari Mari Cultural Village, where we had laksa prawn for lunch (great recommendation, I loved their laksa!). At Mari Mari Cultural Village, Clare was our guide & she was also very friendly and explained everything really well. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful experience, really appreciate it! âºïžâ

Reviews: SSI Open Water Diver Course - 3-Day OW Diving Certification in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia
Guest User2025-05-07
The world under the sea is so wonderful! This dive test can see the wreck and dive to see the coral. Here is the recommended reason.
1, feel safe.
The reason for choosing SSI at that time was one-to-two, which gave people a more adequate sense of security than a pair of four. Very lucky, during this class, the master's master also came together and became one-to-one, and the sense of security was very sufficient. ðª
2. Communication by the way, trustworthy
Before departure, the coach will pull the WeChat group, and the reply in the group is very formal and written, which makes people afraid that ðš is like a robot reply. However, I went to the offline and found that the coach's Mandarin was very good, and the coach would also speak Cantonese Hakka. The communication was smooth, and my friends and I trusted him very much.
3. Encouraging education
During the interactive teaching process, the coach asked how much nitrogen accounts for the air. I said 78%, and my friend said 72%. The coach did not directly deny friends, and 72% was the proportion of land on the earth. In the practice process, it is also actively encouraged, and it is also a good thing to make mistakes during the learning stage. This is a small detail for praise. ðî¥
