Adventure around KK with Aleya (TYH)

My friends and I had a great time in Sabah. We are grateful that TYH were able to accommodate our request at the last minute. Also, grateful to our tour guide, Aleya who was punctual and very informative...along with our polite tour van drivers. Most of our excursions went well. However, we did feel rushed at the Cocoa Kingdom - chocolate factory. Overall experience: Good. However, have to point out the safety measures were substandard. Most the pfds (personal floatation devices) were either ripped/loose, buckles broken, etc. When we showed the tour guide the pdfs: she said these belong to individual contractors. Guess, this is something for KK Tourism to look into before any major mishap. They should carry out regular safety checks. Thanks.

Too expensive for what it was

The islands were great but the price was ridiculously high at $125.00 per person. I found out later, most were charging half that price. The “guide” was not necessary as she didn’t really guide us or converse much with us. Would not recommend this and would go with a much cheaper trip
