Reviews: Morning Session | Mari Mari Cultural Village Tour + Big Prawn Laksa Lunch | Join-In Tour
Guest User2025-08-24
Hey everyone! Just got back from a day tour at the Mari Mari Cultural Village in Kota Kinabalu, and it was fantastic. The attraction is incredibly interactive, with so many things to do, see, and eat. I loved trying my hand at traditional activities like fire-starting and bamboo dart-blowing. A big plus: there was absolutely no hard-selling of souvenirs.
Our local guide (Nelson) was a true professional—very responsible and communicative from start to finish. He really made the experience special.
My only suggestion for improvement is the lunch. While the Laksa was tasty, the restaurant was too far away. We left the village at 1 p.m. but didn't get back to the hotel until 3 p.m. due to the travel time. Moving lunch closer to the city center would make the end of the tour much more efficient.
Overall, it's a must-do for a fun, immersive cultural experience. Highly recommended!★

Reviews: Afternoon Session | Mari Mari Cultural Village Tour + Big Prawn Laksa Lunch | Join-In Tour
Guest User2025-08-12
I took a lunch from the afternoon and a tour of the Marimari Cultural Village. Laksa was also delicious and arranged something that was not spicy for children. The tour contents of the Marimari Cultural Village were very good, and I was really glad I went. However, it seems that there was a miscommunication between the tour company and the Marimari Cultural Village, and it is said that the high tea that should be at the end of the Marimari Cultural Village is not included. It was said that it was included, and I changed two times in the second half. I was going to eat when I was checking the contents of the tour, so I told him I wanted to eat because I would pay an additional fee. As a result, it was said that it was incorporated into the original 々 tour, so it was good because I was able to enjoy it without additional charges, but it was not a very good impression that the explanation changed two times. The high tea was very good, so I think it's better to participate after checking in advance whether it's included in this tour.★

Reviews: SSI Open Water Diver Course 2 Days | Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
Guest User2025-05-07
The world under the sea is so wonderful! This dive test can see the wreck and dive to see the coral. Here is the recommended reason.
1, feel safe.
The reason for choosing SSI at that time was one-to-two, which gave people a more adequate sense of security than a pair of four. Very lucky, during this class, the master's master also came together and became one-to-one, and the sense of security was very sufficient. 💪
2. Communication by the way, trustworthy
Before departure, the coach will pull the WeChat group, and the reply in the group is very formal and written, which makes people afraid that 😨 is like a robot reply. However, I went to the offline and found that the coach's Mandarin was very good, and the coach would also speak Cantonese Hakka. The communication was smooth, and my friends and I trusted him very much.
3. Encouraging education
During the interactive teaching process, the coach asked how much nitrogen accounts for the air. I said 78%, and my friend said 72%. The coach did not directly deny friends, and 72% was the proportion of land on the earth. In the practice process, it is also actively encouraged, and it is also a good thing to make mistakes during the learning stage. This is a small detail for praise. 👍★
