    Really good experience. We were there only people, so we have a private tour. Didi, our tour guide, was very nice and attentive. He is an expert diver, so he was very patient and with us doing the snorkelling activity. It was not the best day in the sea, as it rain the previous day, but he took us to the spots where the water was clearer. Thanks to him we spotted lots of fish, an eel and even a shark! Really nice day

  • Great adventure

    Perfect trip with extraordinary nice and worry team (Didi, Alex and Azmi). They show us underwater world near Borneo and told many interesting things. Lunch was also good. I had few trips from tripadvisor in Malaysia, but this one was definitly the best and fully worth this price. Obligatory point of your journey if you visit Kota Kinabalu.

  • Guided snorkelling at Tunku Abdul Rahman

    Went on a guided snorkelling experience at 3 different snorkelling sites. It was a safe and interesting experience. Our guide Didi was most friendly and helpful to point out the various marine life on the seabed - interesting fishes, corals, moray eels. He also looked out for our needs and checked in with those who needed to rest. During the snorkelling, the boat will be a safe distance away so that those who are tired can go up the boat to rest. Experience could have been improved further if there was a briefing given by the guide to the beginners on how to use the snorkels, as some of the participants who did not have experience had to kind of figure it out themselves. A la carte lunch was provided which was simple and homely. A big thank you to Did, Alex and Jack for making the experience a wonderful one! :)

    It was a great experience. I previously had no experience in snorkeling. We had 7 people in the group today. The guide ALEX was extremely helpful with everything, including special care on me the first timer, including helping me adjust the mask from time to time, spending time on teaching me the basics. He took great care of everyone in the group as well. The boat captain IRWIN was also very kind, cheerful and helpful. Highly recommended.

  • What a great experience !!!

    What a fun fun fun experience !! Thanks to our guide Didi!! We started off with good weather that mid trip turned to a rain storm.. While some of the group opted to stay and warm up after lunch luckily Didi took the two of us carry on. That turned out to be my favorite part. I’m so grateful I got to finish that experience even if the ride home was a bit chilly.. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Thanks for the photos too Didi .. you the best !!!

    Searched the internet for a snorkeling trip (small-scale) and found Borneo Dream. The contact during booking was very friendly and professional (very fast via WhatsApp). Comprehensive information provided beforehand. Guide Alex was at the specified time at the meeting point on Jesselton Point Jetty and provided a friendly welcome. Guides Didi and Alex were not only friendly but also very competent in guiding us during snorkeling. They pointed out things they saw, but also took over the action cam to dive down to capture beautiful underwater features. Lunch was in an idyllic location and super flavorful! We highly recommend Borneo Dream, and particularly Alex and Didi, for a snorkeling or diving trip in Kota Kinabalu! Our heartfelt thanks!

    I highly recommend this snorkel tour! The guides were professional and very friendly. The group we went out in was small, and outside it was shared again. So there were 1 guide with 4 guests on the way - perfect group size. Our guide Alex has always shown us animals we would not have noticed on our own. The snorkel spots were incredibly beautiful and offered a wide variety of animals and corals. The whole tour was super organized and was so much fun.

  • A fantastic day on the water

    A great day out saw lots of fish, water and weather beautiful. Our guide Didi and Captain Irwin were first class. Was just us and another couple so felt like a private tour.

  • A fabulous introduction to the reefs of Kota Kinabalu

    We had such a fabulous day out. We saw so much underwater wildlife - and often it was Amir who pointed it out to us. We had 3 different sessions in 3 different places so experienced the variety of the reef. Amir was professional and knowledgeable and also fun company. I would totally recommend this trip. (I would also recommend wearing long sleeves and leggings if you have them as we did get a little burnt but it was totally our fault.)
