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: Kota Kinabalu Half-Day Tour: Tanjung Aru Beach + City Mosque + Tun Mustapha Tower
Guest User2025-12-08
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: Mengalum Island snorkeling 1-day tour includes lunch
Guest User2025-08-01
It's a fantastic island, a pineal room. I got a lot of life shots. It's not easy to take a boat for an hour, but if you look at the beautiful island, all this effort will be rewarded. However, most of them are Chinese. I hope you consider this.★

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.★

I was worried because I don’t speak much English, but our guide Michael was very kind. We had an amazing time in the crystal-clear ocean. Thank you
