Gorgeous sunset paddleboarding. See fiery sunset from the water
Catch one of Sabah’s most stunning sunsets while floating peacefully on the water at Tanjung Aru Beach. This relaxed sunset paddleboarding session takes you away from the usual beach crowds and onto calm coastal waters, where the golden hour truly shines. Whether you're gliding on your board or just lounging in the water, sunset here is nothing short of magical. 

Unlike other paddleboarding tours that stick to a set route or timeline, this one is super chill. If you’re a confident swimmer, you’ll love the freedom to explore the reef at your own pace while your guide keeps an eye out for your safety. Not so confident? No worries—there are plenty of guides around to help, and they’ll even connect your board to theirs if you need extra support.

This is perfect for travellers who want a laid-back, authentic way to experience Sabah’s coastline—especially those who want to skip the busy tourist beaches and do something a bit more special. It’s especially great for couples, friends or solo travellers looking to unwind with epic views (and maybe snag a few sunset selfies with the help of your helpful guide).
