Sunset kayak adventure through local village and hidden coastal spots
This 3-hour sea kayaking adventure takes you off the usual tourist path and onto the water, paddling along Kota Kinabalu’s coastline as the sky turns gold. You’ll glide past the stilted homes of Tanjung Aru Water Village, explore hidden coastal corners most visitors never see, and, on clear days, catch views of Mount Kinabalu rising in the distance.It’s the only sea kayaking trip of its kind in Sabah, run by experienced local paddlers with over a decade on these waters. The sea here is typically calm, the pace is relaxed, and it's beginner-friendly - you’ll have a proper safety briefing and an instructor guiding you throughout. Perfect for travellers who want something more memorable than just another beach photo.What to ExpectPaddle through calm coastal waters with an experienced instructorKayak past Tanjung Aru Water Village and enjoy a rare view into local village life from the seaExplore scenic spots like Sandbar Point, and swim or snorkel if the tide’s rightSoak in breathtaking views of Mount Kinabalu (on clear days)End your day with a spectacular sunset over the South China SeaGood to KnowExperience lasts around 3 hours and is a join-in tripAll kayaking gear and life jackets are providedNo hotel pick-up or drop-off — you’ll need to get to Tanjung Aru Beach yourselfSuitable for beginners, with a short safety briefing before you beginSwim or snorkel stop is tide-dependent, so may not always be possibleCome dressed to get wet — there are showers and a place to change back at the base
