Sunrise or sunset paddle at KK’s coast, chill vibes and epic views
Catch Sabah’s most stunning sunrise or sunset while floating peacefully on the water at Tanjung Aru Beach. Choose between a calm sunrise paddle to start your day with golden skies or a relaxed sunset session to wind down as the horizon turns fiery red. Both slots take you away from the usual beach crowds and onto calm coastal waters for an unforgettable SUP experience.Unlike other paddleboarding tours with fixed routes, this one is all about taking it easy. Confident swimmers can explore the reef at their own pace while guides keep an eye out for safety. New to SUP or less confident in the water? No worries—guides are always close by and can even link your board to theirs for extra support.Perfect for couples, friends, or solo travellers, this is a laid-back and authentic way to experience Sabah’s coastline. Whether you’re chasing the quiet beauty of dawn or the magic of golden hour, you’ll leave with epic memories (and some great photos, thanks to your friendly guide).What to ExpectSmall-group paddleboarding at sunrise or sunsetCalm coastal waters – no prior experience neededTime to swim, float, or explore the reefGuides nearby for safety and supportMemorable photos taken by your guideGood to KnowJoin-in activity, approx. 1.5 hoursSunrise: 6.00 am – 7.30 am | Sunset: 5.00 pm – 6.30 pmMeeting point: Tanjung Aru Beach (no transport provided)Life jackets, paddleboard, and paddle includedBring swimwear, towel, and change of clothes (rinse/changing facilities available)
