KK Luxury Yacht Sunset Cruise

- January 31, 2023

Previously we bought this this KK Luxury Escape (KKLE) package which includes 1 night stay at Manukan Island Resort, 1 night stay at Shangri-La's Tanjung Aru Resort & Spa, one time KK Luxury Yacht Sunset Cruise with Hi-Tea for 2 person and one time 90 minutes Spa at Kama'A Rejuvenation & Wellbeing Spa for 2 person. Total package paid was RM 899 for 2 pax. Finally after one year we get to go for this KK Luxury Yacht Sunset Cruise. Registration starts from 4.30pm at Star Marina Jetty and we embarked on the yacht at 4.50pm. By the way, shoes are not allowed on the yacht. They will collect the shoes from you during embarkment and give it back to you during disembarkment.

The weather was cloudy and it started to rain soon after we left the jetty. Basically they changed the sailing routes due to the bumpy sea conditions. So we just cruise along Suria Sabah shopping mall, Hyatt Regency Kinabalu, Pasar Besar Kota Kinabalu, Handicraft Market, Water Front and Sutera Harbour Resort. They served light tea break such as mini burgers, sandwiches, free flow of beer, wine and fizzy drink. Food doesn't taste good at all except for the sandwiches. Apart from that, the yacht was idle most of the time in the middle of the sea. We can see everyone is bored and the only way to kill time is by staring at their phone. Sunset wasn't great either because it was blocked by clouds. We disembarked from the yacht at 7.45pm. Overall we are not impressed with the sunset cruise.
