Reviews: Mari-Mari Cultural Village Half Day Shared Tour with Lunch
Guest User2026-06-07
It is not cheap, but worth for money.  For busy season that might require schedule adjustments, better make reservation directly to the facility. (it took us a while to confirm our reservation after kindly adjusted by Trip.com.) In spite of heavy crowd of guests, the operation was super organized and we were well attended and kept entertained all thru the 3 hours. We all (including 6yo/9yo kids) were so satisfied with this experience. The only issue we faced was the car parking. (won't be o problem as far as you use their pickup.) Please bring mosquito spray, or get a very good organic one at the sight s(RM 15).

Xiao Le was very patient and provided a detailed itinerary. During the off-season, we basically booked the entire tour.

Reviews: Boat No. 5 (Random Arrangement) | Day Trip to Mantanani Island, Sabah, Malaysia | Snorkeling & Scuba Diving | Mangrove Forest
Guest User2026-07-22
I checked Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform) for Kota Kinabalu island hopping tours and heard that the company "Round Beach Love" was the most expensive, but I still chose them in the end. They really have a reason for the higher price; the staff were very enthusiastic, the one-hour boat ride was enjoyable, I didn't feel seasick at all, and we arrived in no time. The young men were very friendly and observed the guests' moods to create a lively atmosphere, making you completely forget about seasickness. Although we didn't get to ride the popular No. 5 boat, we rode No. 6, which was also a lot of fun. The lunch on the beach was very good, and you can get refills if you're still hungry. My kids went back for crab twice, and it was delicious both times. There were two snorkeling spots, and it cost 50 MYR per person for a photo shoot. There was no tipping required on the islands. The young men would bring bread to attract small fish for you to take photos, which was very nice 👍. The seawater was absolutely beautiful; the photos perfectly captured the joy of the moment. The bubble party was also a lot of fun, and the kids had a great time. I would definitely go again next time I'm in Kota Kinabalu 👍
