✅ What makes this tour different?


  • It is directly operated by a Korean tour agency officially registered and authorized in Kota Kinabalu.
  • You can enjoy a safe tour with public liability insurance of 500,000 ringgit (150 million won).
  • You can use it more safely because you are accompanied by a Korean guide and a local guide with official qualifications, not a foreign guide.
  • If our Korean representative has free time, he will personally conduct tours with customers and provide them with interesting explanations about Kota Kinabalu's life and culture.
  • We provide real-time consultation and guidance on preparations before entering Malaysia and on issues that may arise locally. In addition, all staff members are based in Kota Kinabalu, so we can provide prompt support when customers have issues.

✅ We have prepared carefully to ensure that you have a pleasant trip.


  • Visit Kota Kinabalu's representative photo spots (Blue Mosque, Sabah State House, Pink Mosque).


  • Instead of a local buffet meal that may not suit your taste, we have prepared a meal of seafood menus that Koreans love the most. We cook fresh seafood caught by the Bajau people that day, such as cream butter shrimp, chili crab, crispy fried squid, stir-fried morning glory, and fried rice.


  • Take a boat cruise deep into the vast mangrove jungle and spot wildlife including monkeys, crocodiles, and water buffalo.
  • You can visit the village of the Bajau people, who lack water, and see their actual lives.
  • After watching the sunset and taking photos of your life at Dalit Bay, a famous sunset point in Kota Kinabalu, you can enjoy viewing fireflies and plankton (blue tears) on a firefly tour.

Additional information

Purchase Notice

[Tour Guide]

  • After your purchase is confirmed, a guide will individually call you via KakaoTalk.
  • This product is operated by a Korean guide and a local licensed guide, so we can respond quickly in case of any accidents.
  • Although traveler's liability insurance applies under local laws, it is not as comprehensive as Korean insurance, so we recommend that you purchase travel insurance in Korea.
  • If the minimum number of participants (4 people) is not met, the tour may be cancelled and a full refund will be issued.
  • I recommend wearing long clothes.
  • We recommend that you spray a small amount of mosquito repellent before boarding the boat. (There are almost no mosquitoes in the mangrove jungle.)
  • Due to the nature of the tropical jungle, sudden showers can occur, so it is recommended to bring a raincoat.
  • In the event that the schedule cannot proceed due to safety reasons due to sudden weather deterioration, refunds are not possible. In this case, the schedule may be changed to an alternative schedule upon consultation.
  • The tour course or content may change slightly due to local circumstances (bad weather, visiting companies or facility conditions). (For example, Blue Mosque may be closed to outsiders on certain days or when visiting by high-ranking officials.)
  • Admission to the Bajau Exhibition Hall may be restricted depending on village circumstances.
  • There are cases where you can join local fishermen on the river and trade tiger shrimp or crabs on the spot. (This is not related to this tour, and you can purchase them at your own discretion.) In this case, you can have the tiger shrimp you purchased steamed at a restaurant on the pier by paying a certain amount of money.
  • Infants under 2 years old are free of charge, but must be accompanied by a parent, and all safety of the infant must be ensured under parental supervision.
