Reviews: 2.5-Hour Tanjong Aru Beach Paddleboard Tour [Tanjong Aru Sunrise and Sunset Paddleboarding 2.5 Hours in Kota Kinabalu / kayaking in 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: 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!
