Gorgeous sunset paddleboarding. See fiery sunset from the water
Looking for a unique way to explore Sabah beyond the usual tourist trails? This sunset sea kayaking adventure is a hidden gem that combines culture, nature, and one seriously epic sunset—all in one unforgettable trip.We start the journey from Tanjung Aru First Beach, home to one of the best sunsets in the world. But instead of just watching from the shore like everyone else, you’ll be on the water, paddling your way through an adventure.First stop—Tanjung Aru Water Village. This isn’t your usual sightseeing. It’s a real, living seaside community where locals greet you with smiles and you get to see their way of life from a whole new perspective—right from your kayak. At this time, capture a pic of yourself with the scenic view of Mount Kinabalu (when it makes an appearance in the background).Next, we explore Sandbar point, a hidden spot you can only reach by paddling - a perfect chance for a quick swim and snorkel if the tide is right. As golden hour kicks in, we paddle to our favourite Sunset point where the sky explodes in warms colors. It’s pure magic—and easily one of the most Instagrammable views in Sabah.What makes this trip a must-do?It’s not your typical touristy tour. This is eco-friendly travel (no motors, no pollution), it’s intimate and small-group, and it’s run by Sabah’s #1 water sports company - a local team that’s been doing river and sea adventures for over 10 years. Whether you're traveling solo, with your partner, or with a group of friends, this is the kind of experience you’ll be talking about long after the trip. If you’re in Sabah, don’t just watch the sunset—paddle into it.
