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 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: Kota Kinabalu Kawa-kawa river cruise 1-day tour: Proboscis monkeys & fireflies - includes snacks and dinner
Guest User2026-04-04
The tour is a must when in KK. You get value for money for all the activities in one package. You get to have a photo stop at the floating mosque, spot proboscis monkeys and other wildlife in the river, chase sunset at the beach, enjoy Malay dinner, and witness fireflies illuminate the night. Two words: Worth It!★

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: Bongawan Mangrove, Fireflies River Cruise & Sky Mirror | Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
Guest User2025-12-01
It was a pity we didn't see the proboscis monkeys, but we did see a lot of fireflies, which was nice. The Sky Mirror was also a great spot for taking pictures. Overall, apart from the disappointment of not seeing the proboscis monkeys, I was quite satisfied.★
