Well organised, very informative, broad day. Eddie had a huge knowledge about all the tour, mosque, chocolate factory, river cruise and all the wildlife we observed as well as broader discussions about Malaysia. Eddie also spoke excellent English. We had a couple snacks and an amazing dinner.

It's a nice arranged trip. We experienced the nature, learned about a bit history about Sabah, and saw the most fabulous sunset on the beach! Big thanks to our guide Timmy, he is professional, friendly and funny. He made conversation with each of the guest, and made sure everyone had a good time. I highly recommend this trip to everyone, if you like nature, and sunset!
Definitely worth it!!!

My husband and I enjoyed the overall experience very much. Since it was Friday, we weren’t able to stop by the mosque, but the chocolate factory, the river trip, and sunset at the beach more than made up for it. We saw SO many monkeys, it really surprised me. And even though the weather was not the best for taking those typical beach pictures, it was still a wonderful experience and a beatiful scenery. The moment with the fireflies was truly astounding and magical! They really know how to handle the fireflies and everyone was super respectful of all the creatures we encountered. The food that was provided was also very delicious, with tasty vegetarian options. Special shout-out to Timmy for being a superb guide and driver. He dominates both English and Chinese (not sure which version) and made everyone feel welcome and included throughout the whole trip. Highly recommend everyone to book with him!
