Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Kawa-Kawa River Cruise Proboscis Monkey & Fireflies with Hi-Tea & Dinner Shared Day Tour

Guest User2025-11-02

Our guide, Jeff, was very entertaining and knowledgeable, and the day flew by 🙂‍↕️. I can see why it has such good reviews. He gave us lots of information during the travel time, which made it fun! He explained things in simple English for us, who only speak a little English, which was helpful! I was happy to see that he also spoke a little Japanese. He took lots of photos and the tour was full of hospitality! I'm very satisfied with the level of fulfillment for this price! I highly recommend this tour to anyone from Japan looking for a tour! Thank you, 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: Sabah Mantanani Islands 1-day tour [Limited-time offer|New resorts|Optional scuba diving/mangrove tour

Guest User2025-04-12

The tour guides on the way to Mermaid Island have been singing and singing, the atmosphere is particularly good, and the boat ride is also particularly exciting. The sea of Mermaid Island is particularly beautiful, with green crystals. This snorkeling is followed by Xiaotang Tang and Guan Ge, and other little black teachers are also taking care of everyone's safety. Friends who can't swim can practice how to use masks in advance, and they won't be so nervous when they launch. In the afternoon, I went to see the long-nosed monkey, and there was a free Haina tattoo at the pier. The young lady was very fast and the painting was very beautiful. The sky of the sunset was beautiful. I went to see the fireflies at night. There were a lot of them. The effect of the glasses could not be seen on the mobile phone. It was a great day!!

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.
