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.

Our guide Steve was wonderful. Thanks to him we really could get the full experience. The program followed the itinerary exactly as described and everything went smoothly.
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.
Reviews: Sabah Weston Wetland River Cruise, Proboscis Monkey, Sunset & Fireflies 1 Day Shared Tour
Guest User2025-09-04
We saw two types of monkeys and a large crocodile. We also saw a lot of fireflies, which was fantastic. Above all, the sunset was amazing. It was the best I've ever seen. The boat tour was a really great experience! The car ride was 2.5 hours each way, and it was quite shaky and painful. That was the only negative point. Overall, I would recommend this trip to others.
Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Kiulu Water Raft and Mari-Mari Cultural Village Tour
Guest User2024-10-05
Jiulu rafting is very exciting, but not dangerous, the coach is professional and very careful, I was afraid of the water, let me enjoy this journey! Mali Mali Cultural Village also makes me very unforgettable! The tour guide Cavin is very professional and attentive, and the commentator Ray is also very professional and let me know a lot about the customs of Malaysian indigenous peoples!
Reviews: Kota Kinabalu: Bongawan River Safari Cruise, Fireflies & City Tour with 6 Stops
Guest User2026-01-01
Very enjoyable experience despite the bad weather and traffic conditions experienced en-route to Bongowan. We did see a few monkeys, though it was difficult in the rain. However the rain stopped, and we went out again to see the fireflies. The chocolate factory tour was excellent. So were our guides, Simon and John
