The sunsets in Malaysia are truly world-renowned and absolutely stunning. Our tour guide also directed us to see the animals and helped us find the best viewing spots. The whole experience was very comfortable, and the price was reasonable with great value for money.★

Reviews: Sabah Weston Wetland River Cruise, Proboscis Monkey, Sunset & Fireflies 1 Day Shared Tour
Guest User2025-09-04
We saw two types of monkeys and a large crocodile. We also saw a lot of fireflies, which was fantastic. Above all, the sunset was amazing. It was the best I've ever seen. The boat tour was a really great experience! The car ride was 2.5 hours each way, and it was quite shaky and painful. That was the only negative point. Overall, I would recommend this trip to others.★

Jiulu rafting is very exciting, but not dangerous, the coach is professional and very careful, I was afraid of the water, let me enjoy this journey! Mali Mali Cultural Village also makes me very unforgettable! The tour guide Cavin is very professional and attentive, and the commentator Ray is also very professional and let me know a lot about the customs of Malaysian indigenous peoples!
