We saw so many animals. The guides, Jerry & Gunar were brilliant and loads of fun too. Plus the food provided during the trek was delicious. Highly recommend using these guys.

Iboih inn 1 stars

Sabang

Set in Sabang, 400 metres from Iboih Beach, Iboih inn offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a private beach area and a shared lounge. With a terrace, the 1-star resort has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation features a shuttle service, while a car rental service is also available. The home-cooked breakfast every morning was excellent. Fresh food well-prepared. The owner, Ibu Saliza, remembered which foods I especially liked and made sure to serve them again and saved me some! She is also a great source of information and help. Saliza knows the flights and transport that Google doesn't and she will book them for you. Ask her anything about travel, local history, food, anything. She is a great person to chat with. The location was perfect. Nice and quiet all day and all evening. Good aircon for comfortable sleep at night, or sit out on the dock in the evening and enjoy the water and the stars. The snorkeling right off the dock was great--better than when I booked a seat on a dive boat. I initially booked three nights but extended to six, and wish I could have stayed longer!
