Great, relaxing experience

The whole experience was great. We were picked up at our hotel by our guide Timmy and taken to the harbour where we boarded the catamaran. There were 12 guests total so it was a small group. Plenty of space on board to store our belongings etc and there was a toilet too!

We sailed to Gayá island and anchored up. There was a friendly crew who assisted with snorkelling, kayaking and paddle boarding while we were there. Lunch was provided and it was a good selection.

Would book again!

Wonderful experience, great value!

Wonderful trip out. Timmy and his crew took great care of us. We were picked up from our hotel in KKB city promptly and got onto the catamaran. It was a small group of 7 (us and another family) and headed to Gaya island where we saw a huge variety of fish and coral. We had two SUPs, kayaked and paddled for about 4hours. It was relaxing, the catamaran was in great condition. The van that picked us was also in tip top shape. Timmy was a great host and shared with us lots of local history. We really enjoyed the day! We also had a lot of assistance helping our child with open water swimming. All the equipment provided was in good condition.

Best Cospa

Thank you for the most luxurious "time" of the afternoon yacht cruise! The staff were all friendly and the transportation was accurate. I'd like to use it again.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if the weather is awful raining in the morning, would it possible to get a refund or reschedule?

If there are any local authority concerns, we may completely reschedule. If the morning session is disrupted but a warning sign is removed in the afternoon, your booking will automatically transfer to the afternoon session. We regret that we are unable to provide refunds for unexpected incidents, weather changes, personal request, or other unsafe conditions. However despite any little rain, the cruise will continue as scheduled without refunds. If there is lightning or terrible weather, we will return to shore to be safe. But if the weather worsens after departure, we cannot provide refunds.

Does the tour include pickup and drop-off?

Totally, it is! Just so you know, pick up is available in the Kota Kinabalu city area with no extra cost. We can also arrange it anywhere else in the city zone. Simply update the hotel name in your reservation, and you're all set!

Can I get a refund if I missed some tour or only participated partial?

Unfortunately, the tour is none refundable so it's not really possible to refund or change that. It might be best to just join in.

Would you arrange for a vegan or vegetarian option?

Yep, it's totally free and there are no extra charges. Just give us quickly reminder up when you make your reservation or the day before you check in, so our staff can get everything ready for you.
