Located right at the end of Tanjung Aru Beach is one the best ever spot to immerse yourself into the beautiful dawn of sunset, Shangrila's Tanjung Aru Sabah Sunset Bar, om a day clear non rainy day you will get to sight that jaw drapping sky changing colours durimg the sunset hour ard 5pm onwards, the other part of Tanjung Aru is a public beach so do expect super crowded on weekends, public holidays and even on school holidays

We were lucky and saw sea turtle. Private operator for this place with limited visitor entrance. Crystal clear sea with countless fish as well as nemo during snorkeling.This was the only island I went in KK recommended by LOCAL. They said, aim for the best to go in KK instead making a tired island hopping near city and seen nothing stunning. I will surely come back again.

The Kota Kinabalu Wetland Center is also a large area. The wetland environment here will be more beautiful. The ecology of the wetland is also good. The wetland center can see a lot of good things. Kota Kinabalu is also a very diverse local area.

The company's team building chose to be on the Great Barrier Reef in Borneo. It was quite interesting. The overall atmosphere was very strong. There were too many water projects to experience. It was not afraid of boredom at all. Yacht snorkeling was all there. Good trip!

The water is clearer and there are many fish compared to other nearby islands. The water depth of the beach is so deep that it seems that a lot of young children come with them. A herd of monkeys lives on the island.
