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.
