Sabah Tourism at its finest.Â
The one stop shop for all water based activities! Waterfly Borneo has been nothing but exceptional. They are a true staple of Sabah Tourism. A company which strives to make Sabah known for tourism in the wider world
Customer service:
From my initial enquiry on Instagram @Waterfly_Borneo, it was clear that customer service was what they thrived to deliver. I received timely and friendly advice on activities that they offer. Mitch was the point of contact over Instagram, an exceptional owner of Waterfly Borneo.
Custom tailored experience:
The last thing you want to do is organise an activity based holiday. They tailored my water sports activites to suit me, relieving the burden. They provided clear suggestions and also ensured if the conditions weren't safe/suitable that they provide alternatives.Â
Kitesurfing:
Kitesurf instructors in Waterfly Borneo have been exceptional. They have a strong passion for kitesurfing and this is visible in every conversation and lesson you have with them.Â
Abidin and Ken were my kite instructors, started off with Abidin who has been kiting for a very long time. He's trained most visitors and most of the local Kite surfer community that reside in Kota Kinabalu. He's a great friendly kite surfer and instructor, who explains everything to ensure you get the best and safest experience to continue kite surfing.Â
Ken the IKO Certified kiteboard instructor. Very experienced and ensuring you progress as fast and safe as possible. He strives to see you progress during his lessons and ensures that the wind conditions are right for the lesson. He provides a well structured, methodical training. Being IKO certified trainer, he can provide you the progession tracker, which is available through the IKO app. This can be shown to the next IKO Certified instructor, when you continue your journey in the future.
E-foiling:
E-foiling! What an experience, it's a must-do activity. One hour isn't enough, need to do 2 hours at least. I did the 2 hour sunset video experience and the lads running it were top notch. Corrective guidance and instructions given to improve, whilst also ensuring you have fun!
Sabah:
Sabah is a hidden gem, a must-see with beautiful waters, and a place where cultures from around the world come together and live in harmony
Knowledge and contacts:
Waterfly Borneo only partner with other firms looking to provide the best customer experience during their holiday. I wanted to do other activities which they were more than happy to organise. Including but not limited to a one day scuba diving experience.
Last but not least, the Kinabalu Yacht Club – the place where I met the most welcoming water adrenaline junkies! During my time here as a solo traveler, they enhanced my experience of the watersports community and the friends you can make along the way. The committee at the Kinabalu Yacht Club is warm and friendly. You cannot feel out of place, even if you tried. This is thanks to all the friends and committee members of the Kinabalu Yacht Club.
