Reviews: 1-day tour to Kawa-kawa river cruise in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah - double river channels, fireflies, proboscis monkeys, and beach sunset
Guest User2026-07-23
The experience was superb! Convenient transportation with pick-up and drop-off, smooth journey, and a tour guide providing commentary throughout. The three main attractions – mangrove forest, sunset, and fireflies – created a truly immersive atmosphere, making for a wonderful family trip. Thank you to the business! Highly recommended, I'll definitely come again next time!

We finally saw the long-tailed monkeys after a long wait! A massive firefly outbreak – I held fireflies in my hands for the first time in my life! Two boat trips were very fulfilling. Ecology, sunset, and iron flower fireworks – all in one trip! I'm extremely satisfied with this itinerary.

Reviews: 1-day tour to Mantanani Islands in Kota Kinabalu Sabah · Snorkeling and scuba diving · Kawa-kawa river cruise fireflies
Guest User2026-09-20
We chose the Mantanani Island + Mangrove Forest Firefly tour, recommended by Xia Ya when we inquired. The itinerary was quite full and a bit tiring, but we had a great time. The weather was great and the water was very clear on the day we went snorkeling. The fireflies at night were incredibly bright, the kind you could easily photograph with your phone. The guide would lead them over. The guide spoke Mandarin, English, and some other languages, which was great.
