The beaches are beautiful, but unfortunately we weren't allowed to swim without life jackets anywhere.★

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.★

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.★

Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Kawa-Kawa River Cruise Proboscis Monkey & Fireflies with Hi-Tea & Dinner Shared Day Tour
Guest User2025-10-22
I had a great time on my tour with Jeff! I was pleased he accepted solo travellers for a start as many require min 2 people to book, especially when I was the only booking for that day!! Upon arrival the weather was terrible and I was worried we could not continue. However, Jeff kept me updated throughout and we patiently waited for the rain to stop which thankfully it did. After an earlier dinner we continued with the scheduled itinerary. The boat drivers were great at making sure we could all get a good view of the monkeys, wildlife and fireflies aswell. Jeff is extremely knowledgeable, great fun and I highly recommend you book this trip when visiting KK. Thanks Jeff!!★

Reviews: Sabah, Malaysia Mangrove Firefly 1-day tour(kawa/Sky Mirror/Firefly River)
Guest User2024-12-23
With the elderly and children, we booked a day trip with a group of 7 people.
The tour guide Amei is Chinese, the service is particularly warm, and there is no obstacle to communication. Will also help my husband find betel nuts, help children catch fireflies, take pictures! ! The photos taken for us in the city of the sky are perfect. Because there are children in the car, the driver is very stable, the whole process is very pleasant, a perfect day trip! ! I wish everyone a smooth work and a happy and healthy life.★

Reviews: (Afternoon Session) Mari Mari Cultural Village + Big Prawn Laksa Lunch | Join-In Tour
Guest User2025-08-12
I took a lunch from the afternoon and a tour of the Marimari Cultural Village. Laksa was also delicious and arranged something that was not spicy for children. The tour contents of the Marimari Cultural Village were very good, and I was really glad I went. However, it seems that there was a miscommunication between the tour company and the Marimari Cultural Village, and it is said that the high tea that should be at the end of the Marimari Cultural Village is not included. It was said that it was included, and I changed two times in the second half. I was going to eat when I was checking the contents of the tour, so I told him I wanted to eat because I would pay an additional fee. As a result, it was said that it was incorporated into the original 々 tour, so it was good because I was able to enjoy it without additional charges, but it was not a very good impression that the explanation changed two times. The high tea was very good, so I think it's better to participate after checking in advance whether it's included in this tour.
