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!

Mount Kinabalu is a must-visit in Sabah. Since it's quite far, it's easier to join a tour group. You can also enjoy paragliding and ATV rides. I bought hay for 2 Malaysian Ringgit to feed the cows. It was a wonderful experience to pick up and drop off cows so close to them for the first time.
Reviews: Kiulu River Rafting with Lunch [Level 1-2]
Guest User2026-01-23
We had an excellent time rafting on the Kiulu River! Everything was well-organized and safe. The instructors were friendly, fun, and professional, making the experience both exciting and secure. The transfer service was also great—the driver/guide was very kind, knowledgeable, and shared interesting facts about Borneo during the trip. The lunch provided was delicious too! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun and smooth adventure. Our rafting experience on the Kiulu River was fantastic! Everything was well-organized, safe, and fun.

Reviews: [Three Islands] Sutera Harbour Marina Jetty - Manukan, Mamutik & Sapi Island Round-Trip Boat Ticket | Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
Guest User2026-04-01
It was great tour guide spoke both Chinese and English, friendly and accommodating. We didn't end up going to 3 Island, no time to play all the water sports while going to all three island. We only did the seawalk totally worth it and would highly recommend it. Missed the second island time for the boat but we got lunch and went to the third island instead. All island look relatively the same. I dont think we miss out much
Reviews: Royal Bay Sky Mirror Mangrove Day Tour in Sabah [Proboscis Monkeys/Fireflies/Beach Sunset]
Guest User2026-03-31
I booked a half-day tour of the Tianjing Mangrove Forest, and the experience was fantastic! Our first stop was the Floating Mosque. From the bus, the blue dome and minaret stood out strikingly in the sunlight—solemn and photogenic; every shot was picturesque. Afterwards, we headed to the mangrove forest and saw gibbon monkeys up close for the first time. We fed them bananas, and the little guys were so lively and adorable; it was instantly heartwarming. Our driver, Xiao Qi, drove smoothly and attentively, while our guide, Steve, was enthusiastic and professional throughout, patiently explaining the local history, culture, and geography, making the otherwise mundane journey lively and interesting. The weather was quite hot that day, and finding the gibbon monkeys took some time. Although we only caught a glimpse from afar, it was still a fulfillment of our wish, leaving no regrets. We arrived at the beach in the evening. Our guide was a great photographer, capturing stunning sunset moments for everyone in our group. We were also lucky enough to catch a spectacular iron flower performance—dazzling and breathtaking! Finally, on the return trip, we searched for the romantic fireflies. The twinkling stars and the evening breeze created a truly enchanting atmosphere. The overall itinerary was well-planned, and the experience was rich and pleasant. I was very satisfied with the trip and would recommend it to everyone!

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.
