Reviews: Sabah Kawa Mangrove Forest Day Trip [Small group tour available | Mosque | Proboscis monkeys and fireflies]
Guest User2026-01-12
I think this is a very worthwhile part of Kota Kinabalu; the fireflies are beautiful, and the tour guide is excellent. Aside from the slightly bumpy ride on the main road, there are no other downsides.★

Reviews: KAWA KAWA Nanamun Fireflies Sunset Cruise with Dinner
Guest User2024-06-16
River cruise was relaxing, saw some monkeys, will depend on your luck. Sunset was amazing. Dinner was not as bad as expected. But the fireflies were out of this world.. like fairy lights on an Xmas tree. Guides were very friendly and helpful.★

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: Sabah Mantanani Island Day Trip [Limited-Time Special Offer | New Resort | Optional Diving/Mangrove Retreat]
Guest User2026-01-26
Overall, it was great, deserving full marks. The price was excellent, and a day trip for just over 300 yuan was incredibly worthwhile. Hotel pick-up and drop-off were hassle-free, and the speedboat was relatively smooth, preventing seasickness. Upon arriving on the island, I was amazed by the fine white sand and crystal-clear water. Snorkeling revealed a plethora of tropical fish and corals, and there were also free Instagram-worthy activities and bubble parties.★

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.★
