The first island i hv visited in Sabah (Borneo) East Malaysia. As i was there during their promotional period in around May so my boat fare cost me Rm60/pax (included 2 island). The price quite affordable as usually the boat fare will cost up to 40+ on normal visit/island. There were variety of activities we can join such as parasailing, banana boat, Ski, diving and many more (diffrent purchase) yet prices are negotiatable😜. The view was amazing. The facilities are quite well prepared for a visitor like me. Those who likes beaches, this places are highly recommended for you to experience and explore. #ManukanIsland #beaches #borneotravel

#Overseas travel I visited Kota Kinabalu for the first time before and it was really great! It's one of the best places to travel in Southeast Asia! 🤒😉There were so many different foods and the fruits were really delicious 🍋🍈🍑 Also, when you go to Kota Kinabalu, you must visit the Blue Moss Temple. It was really great. It was nice to take pictures at the entrance and you could rent traditional clothes and take pictures!🎊🎉 Kota Kinabalu is famous for having one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world, so we watched the sunset this time and it was really pretty. It seemed like there was a reason why they told us to go there!😺😺 There are so many different foods that you must eat in Kota Kinabalu, such as kaya toast, bak kut teh, satay, nasi goreng, mee goreng, etc. I recommend you go there!👍👍 This is one of my favorite travel destinations! It was really great because it was a city with a different charm from Malaysia's Kuala Lumpur 💕💕 #Malaysia #Kota Kinabalu #Kuala Lumpur #Mango #Mango Boy #Durian #Swimming #Sunset Spot #Sunrise #Sunrise Spot

We recommend adjusting your departure time according to the sunset time. 📍Location: Tanjung Aru Beach This is the best place to see the third most beautiful sunset in the world, so don't miss it!🏖️ 🗺️Itinerary Meet at the beach👉🏻Get a paddle board and learn how to use it👉🏻The coach will take you to the sea👉🏻There will be a special photo spot, so line up to take photos👉🏻Play with the paddle board and wait for the sunset👉🏻The coach will take you back to the beach when it gets dark ⚠️We recommend changing into your swimsuit in advance. 🌅The highlight of playing with the paddle board is watching the sunset! The sunset at Tanjung Aru is known as one of the most beautiful in the world. When the sun slowly sinks into the sea, the sky will show brilliant colors, from golden to orange-red, and then to deep purple. It's breathtakingly beautiful. ❗This was my first time watching the sunset in the middle of the sea. I lay on the paddle board and watched the sky change color until it was completely dark. It was a very impressive experience.📸 ✨Tips: 1. Adjust your departure time according to the sunset time. We recommend arriving at the beach early to get a good spot to watch the sunset. 2. When playing with the paddle board, listen to the coach's instructions to ensure your safety. 3. Bring a waterproof phone bag or camera case to take beautiful sunset photos. 4. There is a bathroom nearby that costs 1 MYR per person. You can change clothes and take a shower there, but the environment is average. 5. Call a taxi immediately after the activity. There are many people there, so it's hard to get a taxi. The bathroom is also closed at night. I was soaking wet and waited for a taxi for more than half an hour. I was almost dry by the time I got one. I hope this guide is helpful. I wish you a wonderful day at Tanjung Aru Beach.💖

#Southeast Asia Travel Ocean Massage & Reflexology Kota Kinabalu Travel Cost-effective Ocean Massage Recommendation Review ⏰Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 11:00 PM 📍Location Address: Warisan Square, Stephen, 88000 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia When traveling to Kota Kinabalu, the Filipino Market is a must-see. I'll introduce you to Ocean Massage, which is located about a 6-minute walk from the Filipino Market.

#Overseas travel #Kota Kinabalu #Southeast Asia travel On cold winter days, you should go to a warm country. In Southeast Asia, you can relax at a resort with a large swimming pool and the ocean. As a bonus, you can also see the sunset. Since the swimming pool is usually open late, you can also swim at night. Swimming in the ocean late at night is dangerous, so be careful. If you have children while traveling in Southeast Asia, I recommend checking the depth of the swimming pool in advance😀

#Overseas travel Kota Kinabalu is the travel destination with the most beautiful sunsets🥺 I met the sunset of my life. Many people are waiting to meet the sunset of their life in Kota Kinabalu. Make sure to arrive before sunset and watch the sunset blooming as the sun slowly sets. It was a little disappointing because it was cloudy every day, but I still saw a really beautiful sunset.🌅 It was the most beautiful sunset I've seen in any other Southeast Asian country.
