Reviews: Sabah Kawa Mangrove Forest Day Trip [Small group tour available | Mosque | Proboscis monkeys and fireflies]
Guest User2025-12-27
I arrived in Yabi in the morning and booked a firefly tour that departed in the afternoon at the last minute. It was a wonderful surprise! The driver picked me up, the air conditioning on the bus was great, and there were even USB charging ports on the seats. It rained when we set off in the afternoon, so we moved two of the sights along the way to the evening on the way back. We saw fireflies in the mangrove forest, and the food was delicious. The children at the pier put on a fantastic show and even shook hands with you – so innocent and adorable! The guide on the boat was also very helpful in attracting fireflies and finding monkeys to guide everyone. The iron flower display, though brief, was also very beautiful.★

Had an excellent tour in KK with Jeff as our guide. He’s super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable and relaxed. Everything was well organised, and Jeff went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and having fun. Highly recommended if you’re touring KK!★

Reviews: Royal Bay Sky Mirror Mangrove Day Tour in Sabah [Proboscis Monkeys/Fireflies/Beach Sunset]
Guest User2025-05-15
Our family of three set off and arranged a car to pick it up without crowding a car with others. The driver is a Chinese from Grandpa's generation who took root there. So Mandarin, Cantonese Malay, English, no communication barrier-free, it was raining all the way, fortunately, I met a lot of long-nosed monkeys, the tour guide said that the luckiest boat people, they have not encountered a lot, fireflies are also for children to go, Children have never seen fireflies now, and there are quite a lot, more than I saw when I was a child.★

Reviews: KAWA KAWA Nanamun Fireflies Sunset Cruise with Dinner
Guest User2024-06-16
River cruise was relaxing, saw some monkeys, will depend on your luck. Sunset was amazing. Dinner was not as bad as expected. But the fireflies were out of this world.. like fairy lights on an Xmas tree. Guides were very friendly and helpful.★
