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: 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: Sabah Weston Wetland River Cruise, Proboscis Monkey, Sunset & Fireflies 1 Day Shared Tour
Guest User2026-02-15
Excellent value, absolutely excellent value! The guide led us in the rainforest searching for proboscis monkeys. We found about 6-7 families. In the end, only our boat was still searching; the other boats had already gone back. The guide also made sure everyone on the boat could see the fireflies at night. After the people on the left finished watching, he would turn around to let the people on the right see them. By the way, his name is Dudy. I'd call him the most energetic worker. Attached is a photo of Dudy that my companion unintentionally took. I hope he sees this "life's work photo."★

Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Kiulu Water Raft and Mari-Mari Cultural Village Tour
Guest User2024-10-05
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!
