Love letters from our guests

4.6

275 reviews

Such a great tour, everything was on time and communicated properly. The lodge was nice, better than I expected. The food was good. The guide we had for the river cruise (Linda) was amazing. She was really enthusiastic and happy to answer questions and give any extra information. You can tell they are passionate about what they do. And she was so good at spotting wildlife! We saw some nice wildlife during the cruise, including a kingfisher, proboscis monkeys, elephants (even babies!), and various types of hornbills. The only thing we missed was the crocs and that was due to the high water level.

This is a must-experience in KK. From the breath-taking sunset experience to the warm hospitality of the captain and his crew. This yacth sailing experience is definitely one for the books! This was my most memorable experience from my first visit to Malaysia and I can't wait to come back. Shout out to Joel the captain and Brendan-my new found brothers aboard. 🍻Thank you Mawali Aventure and Tours! Love from the 🇵🇭😎

Booked: 3-Hr Private Sunset Yacht Sail from KK: Swim & Snorkel

We wanted to end our holiday in Kota Kinabalu on a high, and Mawali Sailing manages to do that. Joval was patient in handling our inquiries and gave us the confidence to booking the private charter with them. The service was excellent. We were picked up on time. The crew and Captain weee very friendly. Captain was also very attentive and customized our itinerary. The fees included the non-alcoholic beverages on board. Beer and wine were extra but were very reasonably priced. The boat was clean and very well maintained. The sunset BBQ surpassed our expectations with the yummy food. Thank you Mawali. Hope to sail with you again!

We had a really nice day on the catamaran. There was a good atmosphere on board and the service was top notch. We had more than an hour to snorkel and paddle board in the beautiful water, where we were the only boat. The sea was clear and we saw many beautiful fish, including clownfish. Lunch was served on the deck, where my family and I sat and enjoyed life. This trip is recommended if you are tired of mass tourism and although it costs a lot of money, it is worth it👍

Absolutely 5-star. A great morning out on the Mawali yacht for our family. Beautiful vessel, with lots of space to chill and relax on board. Lots of fun snorkelling, paddle boarding and jumping into the ocean from the boat. Joel and the crew were brilliant and great with our 7 year old son. Lunch was delicious! Booking process, payments and all communications so easy as well.

You will not regret the experience on this beauty of a vessel - Catamaran whether for a sunset cruise or for any special ocassion which in our case was to take our prewedding photos with my fiancée. Wonderful experience onboard by none other than the professional and friendly father and son combo - Captain Jerry & second-in-command Joel will definitely leave you awe-inspiring and wanting for a second trip. Cheers and kudos to you Joel and your dad Jerry!

The best morning in Kota Kinabalu. Carlos (Captain) and the rest of the crew took care of us very well. We enjoy very much the snorkelling and the time in one of the wonderful Mawali vessels. Carlos, thank you for your songs and conversation. Jerry did a good job as well. Highly recommend. Worth each ringgit we spent.
