Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Kawa-Kawa River Cruise Proboscis Monkey & Fireflies with Hi-Tea & Dinner Shared Day Tour
Guest User2026-02-23
Our tour guide, Xiao Chen, was lovely and wonderful! There were more places to eat than we expected, and fresh coconuts were available for purchase. The mountain road was a bit bumpy, but that was unavoidable given the environment. There was also a free farm where we could feed the animals, which were very cute. The staff on the boats to see the monkeys and fireflies were all very cheerful. It was a very worthwhile trip!★

Reviews: Royal Bay Sky Mirror Mangrove Day Tour in Sabah [Proboscis Monkeys/Fireflies/Beach Sunset]
Guest User2026-04-04
Amazing day! We loved every minute! Excellent value for money too. The car collected us from the hotel then took us to see the floating mosque. We then went to the river cruise where cool drinks and snacks were ready for us. We saw proboscis monkeys, a crocodile, huge monitor lizards and fireflies. Spending time at the beach was nice - amazing fire show and beautiful sunset photos. Robert, our guide, was truly outstanding! He couldn’t have done anything more for us. This trip was a highlight of our holiday. Thank you.★

The tour guide was incredibly professional and attentive. There were only two of us, and he took photos of us at every attraction – they were even better than the photos we took ourselves! We loved it! 😍 He introduced the sights and even recommended some local seafood at the end. We were extremely satisfied! Five stars! Highly recommended! 👍🏻★

Reviews: Sabah Mantanani Island Day Trip [Limited-Time Special Offer | New Resort | Optional Diving/Mangrove Retreat]
Guest User2026-04-08
The customer service was excellent, the itinerary was well-planned, and they provided pick-up and drop-off service with timely reminders. The scenery on Mermaid Island is unbeatable, swimming in the Jellyfish Bay is fantastic, the tour guide was very responsible, and the boat and car drivers were excellent – their skills were superb! The lunch on the island was also delicious; I ate two pieces of the fried fish!★

Reviews: Desa Dairy Farm + Poring Hot Spring + Mount Kinabalu Observation Desk [Lunch included]
Guest User2026-02-08
My expectations were high, so I was a little disappointed. The journey was long, but the driver's excellent skills saved us a lot of time. I don't know if we didn't choose the right language for the tour guide, but the company sent someone whose Mandarin wasn't very good, so it was a disadvantage for me since my English isn't good. Also, the suspension bridge was under construction and temporarily closed, which should have been mentioned in the itinerary (disappointing). Seeing the Rafflesia today was a memorable and happy experience.★

Our tour guide, Stephen, was very dedicated. He accompanied us throughout the trip, patiently explained everything during the activities, and even recommended some good restaurants. It was a perfect trip; thank you so much, tour guide!
