Reviews: 1-Day Tour to Sapi Island Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia + Manukan Island [Snorkeling/Water Tours + Seafood BBQ Lunch]
Guest User2026-03-25
Punctual pick-up and drop-off, small tour group, easy-to-manage guide. Sapi Island has clear water, white sand, and plenty of fish, a great place for snorkeling. Manukan Island also has clear water, but not many fish. Guide Zhihong is good. Worth the trip.★

Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Kawa-Kawa River Cruise Proboscis Monkey & Fireflies with Hi-Tea & Dinner Shared Day Tour
Guest User2026-05-28
My family were very fortunate to have Jeff as our guide for this activity. Jeff was very knowledgeable of KK history and was able to give a very insightful overview of the culture and heritage of this great place. During the river cruise/fireflies cruise, he was able to identify and explain to everyone of the different types of fauna and flora along the river!! We learnt greatly from him on this trip! Overall, my family had enjoyed this trip greatly and will highly recommend the guide Jeff if you ever wants to book this activity! Thanks Jeff!!★

Reviews: Royal Bay Sky Mirror Mangrove Day Tour in Sabah [Proboscis Monkeys/Fireflies/Beach Sunset]
Guest User2026-04-04
Amazing day! We loved every minute! Excellent value for money too. The car collected us from the hotel then took us to see the floating mosque. We then went to the river cruise where cool drinks and snacks were ready for us. We saw proboscis monkeys, a crocodile, huge monitor lizards and fireflies. Spending time at the beach was nice - amazing fire show and beautiful sunset photos. Robert, our guide, was truly outstanding! He couldn’t have done anything more for us. This trip was a highlight of our holiday. Thank you.
