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 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: Kota Kinabalu Kawa-kawa river cruise 1-day tour: Proboscis monkeys & fireflies - includes snacks and dinner
Guest User2026-03-03
The tour itinerary was quite comprehensive. While we didn't get to see the proboscis monkeys up close, the sight of countless stars and fireflies creating a breathtakingly romantic and unforgettable experience. The downside was the lack of clear instructions for the next steps, leaving some tourists a little confused. However, it was clear the tour operator had tried their best to provide a rich and engaging itinerary. Overall, for the price, it's highly recommended. The tea and dinner were decent, definitely worth the price.★

Great! The tour guides are very caring and will help you see the bag for you to play. Remember to download whats app The tour guide will contact you the day before, and then you can rest assured to give it to him all day. The weather was very good that day and took us to see the sunset. Very beautiful
