Reviews: Desa Dairy Farm + Poring Hot Spring + Mount Kinabalu Observation Desk [Poring entrance fee not included/Lunch included]
Guest User2025-08-16
Ordered the trip via trip.com and the driver arrived at a different hotel. No one called, no one answered our calls. Fortunately, the trip.com assisted with solving the issue pretty well and we went on this trip on a different day. The guide, Ken, was a lot of fun. The trip itself was interesting despite the long distances. We bought yogurt and cheese on the farm, tasted good. The lunch was good.★

Reviews: Sabah Kawa Mangrove Forest Day Trip [Small group tour available | Mosque | Proboscis monkeys and fireflies]
Guest User2025-12-27
I arrived in Yabi in the morning and booked a firefly tour that departed in the afternoon at the last minute. It was a wonderful surprise! The driver picked me up, the air conditioning on the bus was great, and there were even USB charging ports on the seats. It rained when we set off in the afternoon, so we moved two of the sights along the way to the evening on the way back. We saw fireflies in the mangrove forest, and the food was delicious. The children at the pier put on a fantastic show and even shook hands with you – so innocent and adorable! The guide on the boat was also very helpful in attracting fireflies and finding monkeys to guide everyone. The iron flower display, though brief, was also very beautiful.★

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.★
