Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Kawa-Kawa River Day Tour: Proboscis Monkeys, Fireflies, Afternoon Tea & Dinner Experience
Guest User2025-09-14
It was the most worthwhile and enjoyable experience. It was a firefly viewing experience that you can't find anywhere else. Our guide, Lili, took such good care of us. She could only speak a little Japanese, but she tried to find the necessary Japanese words during the trip. She took pictures for everyone. She was very informative, funny, and friendly. The food was delicious. The car and boat were all very good. The tour was fun. We even met a bunch of long-nosed uncles. Watching the fireflies here was the most wonderful and memorable experience of our KK trip.

Reviews: MANUKAN Island and SAPI Island Snorkeling Day Tour from Kota Kinabalu
Guest User2024-07-08
The next day I arrived in Kota Kinabalu, I took a tour. I went with my Chinese family, and above all, the guide Ken was very friendly and pleasant, so I enjoyed the tour throughout. Lunch at Sapi Island was not bad, and it was worth it enough to parasail and seawalk. In particular, Manukan Island is ideal for snorkeling because there are few people and there are quite a few tropical fish. Safi Island is a dining and marine sports, and you can enjoy snorkeling on Manukan Island.
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.
