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!★

The itinerary was exceptionally well-planned, making it easy and relaxing with the kids. A special thank you to our guides, Jay and Steve, for their attentive service. The children had a wonderful time, seeing the beaked monkeys and witnessing a stunning sunset – perfect!★

Reviews: 1-Day Tour to Sapi Island Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia + Manukan Island [Snorkeling/Water Tours + Seafood BBQ Lunch]
Guest User2026-03-25
Punctual pick-up and drop-off, small tour group, easy-to-manage guide. Sapi Island has clear water, white sand, and plenty of fish, a great place for snorkeling. Manukan Island also has clear water, but not many fish. Guide Zhihong is good. Worth the trip.★

Reviews: Kinabalu Park, Poring Hot Spring & Desa Dairy Farm Shared Day Tour
Guest User2025-11-29
We had Jeff aka Mr Handsome as our guide. He was v responsible and contacted us a day before w details abt the tour. Jeff has excellent communication skills and is sensitive to the needs of the travellers. He made a slight change due to the weather and bcos of this we avoided the jams. He is very experienced and you feel v assured and relaxed throughout the whole trip. I could not find anything that really needs improving(maybe the potholes). One of the most excellent and knowledgeable guides we have come across through our many decades of tours. He never stops learning. I will not hesitate to recommend Jeff. We got to see our rafflesia and the desa farm was brilliant. The small hike at poring springs was enjoyable! Tqvm for a wonderful day and arrangements!★

Reviews: Kinabalu ATV335 | Sabah Kinabalu Dairy Farm Day Trip + Paragliding + Optional Rafflesia Flower Tour (at your own expense)
Guest User2026-01-26
Mount Kinabalu is a must-visit in Sabah. Since it's quite far, it's easier to join a tour group. You can also enjoy paragliding and ATV rides. I bought hay for 2 Malaysian Ringgit to feed the cows. It was a wonderful experience to pick up and drop off cows so close to them for the first time.
