60mins speedboat ride from Semporna jetty with Celebes Explorer dive center, departure at 07:30. Upon arrival, the boat pack on the shore, jump off the vessel then we had to sign in at the Island Registration, individually. 1st dive: Barracuda Point Wall/ drift dive Dive time: 60mins Marine life: white tips shark (resting) 2nd dive: South Point Slope/ drift dive Marine life: Cyclone School of Big Eye Trevally, Giant Green Turtles, White tip sharks (resting and circling) and Napoleon Wrasse. 3rd dive: Turtle Tomb/ Cave Wall/ drift dive Marine life: GREEN HUMPHEAD PARROTFISHS (40mins), Giant Green Turtle & Barracuda Fishes Highlight: 1) REMEMBER: you are there for scuba diving and nothing else. 2) divers must be experienced with drift and buoyancy control to avoid damaging sensitive to marine life. 3) no fresh water, basic toilet (many soiled & dirty cubicles, no washing material or drying material available on the island. 4) limited jetty access, you are lucky if your operator can dock on the very poor constructed wood bridge. 5) check with your operator best/ highest chance to see Green Humphead Parrot Fishes.

It was an wonderful experience in Mulu national park, it is a heaven for the people who loves nature, it has tropical climate that means its can rain anytime, The best thing is that we get to see so many things at one place. The caves, clear water pool, canopy walk, river safari and etc. Park guide's were very elaborative and their knowledge is pretty good as most of them are localities. For a person like it was a perfect getaway as very less mobile connection works at mulu.

We booked direct through crystal quest, it was easy, Fatima was fantastic and responded quickly everytime she was very helpful from begining to end. After a few emails back and forth it was booked and we didnt have to pay anything until the day. Her email is - [email protected] The trip was fantastic, the work they do on the island is brilliant, if it wasn't for them the eggs wouldnt stand a chance.

????Kubah Waterfall, Kuching When we had our pre-wedding photoshoot 3 years ago, we knew it had to be different.. We hiked in Kubah National Park all the way in to the waterfall, about an hour of journeying, together with 2 family friends who are amazing photographers. We brought formal attire, and changed there and there, just to immerse ourselves in the wonders of Borneo's Rainforests. ????The waterfall was magical.. It's not the gushing type with thundering waters, but instead, a gentle cascading fall with beautiful serenity pools, perfect for cool-water dipping. What makes this waterfall ethereal is how lush vines and ferns of different greens line the side of the cascades, flourishing and thriving with the constant gentle patters of water. The photography there was well worth all the effort. ????How to get there? Drive by car (or rent) to Kubah National Park, using Waze or Google Maps. From Kuching, the journey will take about an hour or so. Upon arrival, Malaysians only have to pay RM 10 per entry, Foreigners at Rm 20. You will receive a map with 2 main destinations - the top of the mountain, and Kubah waterfall. ????You can give the top of the mountain journey a miss. From what I hear, there isn't even a view to enjoy, and it's just a tar road journey all the way. Kubah Waterfall is to me the main attraction here. ⏲Come by morning; by afternoon, you might be denied entry because the rangers would have no one inside the rainforests after 6pm. *Special thanks to Gabriel Diong and Julieann for the amazing photoshoot!

Tour Guide & Boatman: Very friendly and helpful throughout the whole trip with amazing skills in cooking and boating. (seriously not kidding, their cooking is better than the food we ate at a restaurant near Lubok Antu) Accommodation: Exceed my expectations! I didn't hold a very high hope towards the lodging in a forest but theirs is amazing! It was clean, with mosquito net and a well-maintained bathroom for each room! Electricity: Available from 6+ to 10+ but I have no problem with that. Just charge your phone between that period. It is quite cooling during the night. Things to bring: Sunblock is very important during the ride from the jetty to the longhouses, easy to dry clothes, slippers and sports shoes that you won't miss We are very lucky that we saw a wild orang utan hanging from the trees during the boat ride, it was amazing!!

Bako is truly one of the most beautiful places in Kuching. Within a short boat ride from the Bako Jetty you have access to a pristine national park with beautiful rock formations, some of the best beaches in the area, nice jungle trekking and some unique landscapes. Getting there is also a breeze with the efficient and cheap boat service run by the national park. A must for nature lovers.

Cool, calm, peaceful, serene and beautiful experience going through this national park. The sound of small insects and the river flowing is like music to our ears. There were many types of plants in the park. Our guide, Luq from Amazing Borneo is very knowledgeable explaining the many types of plants we saw. It was a very good experience for us since we learn new things about mother nature.

Visited 3 of the islands on a day trip from Jesselton Pier. Costed RM 43 for the boat tour and an extra RM 20 for the conservation fee. The water is super clear and beaches are really nice, although a lot of tourists around. I didn't expect to end up in paradise after a 15 minute boat ride from Kota Kinabalu, so visiting this place was definitely a highlight of my trip.
