Reviews: 1-day tour to Sabah royal bay sky mirror mangrove | proboscis monkeys and fireflies/private small group optional
Guest User2026-06-09
This mangrove tour exceeded my expectations; our guides, Jay and Xiaoqi, were absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, they were incredibly attentive, helping us spot wildlife and reminding us to protect ourselves from mosquitoes and sun. Once inside the mangroves, they patiently explained the various plants and animals, answering all our strange questions without ever getting annoyed. Whether we were wading in the mudflats or getting on and off the boat, they were always mindful of everyone's safety. What touched us most was their warmth—they were all smiles, chatting like old friends, and even took many beautiful photos for us. What was supposed to be an ordinary day trip became a truly unforgettable experience because of them.
I wholeheartedly recommend Jay and Xiaoqi; the mangroves are even more worthwhile because of you! I'll definitely book you again next time! 🌿🚣★

Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Weston Mangrove Half-Day Tour with Fireflies and Sky Mirror at Kawa Weston
Guest User2026-08-02
Overall, I was very satisfied with this mangrove forest and firefly tour. The sunset we saw was absolutely stunning, even more beautiful than the sunset at Tanjung Aru Beach. The afterglow was gorgeous and soothing, and every shot was photogenic. The only minor drawback was the long distance and time spent traveling, but this didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the trip.
Special thanks to Xiaoyong, whose service was exceptionally attentive and thoughtful throughout the trip. Our guide patiently explained the local customs and traditions, provided helpful reminders about safety precautions, and even proactively helped us find the best photo spots. We also thank our driver, who drove smoothly and reliably, was punctual, and provided a clean and comfortable vehicle. Both he and his companion were enthusiastic, reliable, and responsible throughout the trip. This was a pleasant and enjoyable trip, and I highly recommend it to everyone. I will definitely choose this tour again for my next trip.★

Reviews: Sabah Mount Kinabalu Dairy Farm Day Trip + ATV/Paragliding optional + Rafflesia roasted wild boar (optional, at your own expense)
Guest User2026-08-12
My day trip to Mount Kinabalu was the happiest day of my trip to Kota Kinabalu! I've seen many beautiful oceans around the world, but a tropical rainforest is a rare treat. It was a wonderful and enriching day. Our guide, Ali, was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. I was traveling alone, and he took great care of me throughout the entire trip! The Mount Kinabalu viewpoint was breathtaking, the ATV experience was thrilling, the search for Rafflesia flowers was fascinating, the fruit market was delicious, and the dairy farm was absolutely stunning—it felt like a Malaysian version of Xinjiang! The roasted pork on the way down the mountain was also amazing! A visit to Mount Kinabalu is a must when in Kota Kinabalu; with the ocean on one side and the rainforest on the other, it was an unforgettable experience.★

Reviews: Island hopping in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah - 1-day tour to Sapi Island Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia and Manukan Island with optional snorkeling, parasailing and water activities
Guest User2026-08-25
This was the itinerary for the first day in Kota Kinabalu. I booked this Manukan and Sand Island day trip through Xiaole customer service. The scenery was beautiful and the boat ride was only 10 minutes. The two tour guides spoke excellent Chinese, and the lunch was quite good. It was a wonderful trip.★

Reviews: Sabah Kawa Mangrove Forest Day Trip [Small group tour available | Mosque | Proboscis monkeys and fireflies]
Guest User2026-08-02
Our tour guide, Xiao Ye, was excellent. We saw proboscis monkeys and macaques, and the most amazing thing was the fireflies. As night fell, we sailed to the mangrove forest, and the guide used special lights to attract the fireflies. When the fireflies twinkled and flew towards us, it was incredibly soothing and beautiful—a rare and delightful experience. The itinerary included a snack and a buffet dinner, which was quite good for the mangrove environment. A very successful trip.
