#kotakinabalutrip Stepping onto the rickety wooden jetty at Klias Wetland, the air hit me first – thick with the smell of salty mangrove mud and adventure. Our boat sliced through tea-colored water as the jungle leaned in from both sides, vines dangling like nature's curtains. The *highlight*? Sunset with the proboscis monkeys! Watching those big-nosed fellas leap between trees like drunken acrobats had me snort-laughing. But nothing prepared me for the **firefly show** after dark – thousands of tiny lights blinking in sync like Christmas trees gone wild. **Pro tip:** The secret spot is the **second bend** on the river – fewer boats, better monkey views! **Must-eat:** Post-cruise, devour a plate of *ambuyat* at the riverside stall. Stretchy sago paste + spicy dip = weirdly addictive. **Quick Itinerary:** ⏰ 3:30 PM: Arrive, slather on bug spray like armor ⏰ 4:00 PM: Proboscis monkey river cruise ⏰ 6:30 PM: Sunset & coconut break ⏰ 7:15 PM: Magical firefly cruise **Funny moment:** When our boat got briefly stuck in mud and we all had to rock side-to-side like penguins to break free! Pack: Dry bag, zoom lens, and your sense of wonder. Just don't lean too close – those monkeys have good aim! 💩

This us my experience and my trip to United States or america Traveling across the United States is like experiencing a microcosm of the world. From the sun-drenched beaches of California to the snow-covered mountains of the Rockies, each state offers something unique. My journey started in New York City, where the buzzing energy of Times Square and the towering skyscrapers left me awestruck. I spent hours wandering around Central Park and visiting landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. There's an undeniable vibe in New York — a mix of ambition, culture, and diversity. Next, I flew to Chicago. The city’s architecture is its most prominent feature. The skyline is like a work of art, with buildings designed by legends like Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe. I visited the famous Millennium Park, snapped a picture in front of the Cloud Gate (aka "The Bean"), and had some of the best deep-dish pizza of my life. After Chicago, I took a road trip down to the South. I drove through Tennessee, making a stop in Nashville, the heart of country music. Walking down Broadway Street, I could hear the strumming of guitars and live performances coming from every bar. The people were friendly, and the food—fried chicken and hot chicken—was deliciously spicy. From there, I made my way to the West Coast, starting in Los Angeles. Hollywood, Santa Monica Beach, and the laid-back vibes of Venice Beach made the city feel alive with possibilities. I also took a trip to the nearby Griffith Observatory for breathtaking views of the city and the iconic Hollywood sign. But the most unforgettable part of the journey was when I went to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Standing on the edge of one of the world's greatest natural wonders, I felt both humbled and amazed by its sheer beauty. The colors of the canyon at sunrise were like nothing I had ever seen. Each state and city offered something new and exciting, and it was a reminder of how vast and varied the U.S. is. The journey was an adventure I’ll always treasure, filled with memorable experiences, fascinating people, and unforgettable landscapes. #travel #couplestrip #staycation

#newyearnewtrip First time was fun & excitement, second time was scary, third time was why am I doing this again?? The journey to this adventurous activity was memorable. Get on steam train ride, usually only the local use the mode of transportation. It is so old that the door also open, you can put your legs outside😆 The moment you get on the rafting, that’s when your heart-pumping uncontrollably. The sound of the huge river flowing, the big waves, feeling afraid of the boat capsized. Yet, at the end it’s all fun and so much stories to share and laugh about during the whole journey. It was in Sabah Malaysia, called Padas White Water Rafting.

Hidden in the mysterious tropical jungle, the Klias Wetlands is a great place to see proboscis monkeys and fireflies thanks to its unique ecological environment and precious wildlife resources. Although it is far from the city, it is still a popular destination. In the morning, when the sun shines on the pier, a faint tea fragrance fills the air. Here, you can enjoy a cup of authentic afternoon tea and feel the tranquility and beauty of time, as if time has slowed down. After a short break, we took a boat along the Klias River to explore the mysterious world of the mangroves. The Klias River is like a green ribbon, winding through the dense mangroves. Flocks of birds soar over the river, silver leaf monkeys jump and play among the branches, and proboscis monkeys quietly drink and forage by the river. These precious animals bring endless vitality to this primeval forest. As night falls, fireflies twinkle like stars in the mangroves, adding a romantic touch to the mysterious forest. The mangroves seem to have turned into a giant Christmas tree, with fireflies like decorative lights on the tree, adding endless poetry to the quiet night. In such an environment, we can't help but be amazed by the magic of nature. The Klias Wetlands is not only an ecological treasure, but also a beautiful witness to the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. Here, we can observe the living habits of various wild animals up close and feel the magic of nature.

🔍 Hey guys! Today I'm going to share with you my recent amazing experience - a trip to the mysterious and charming Klias Wetland! 🏞️ This green gem hidden in the heart of Borneo is definitely worth a spontaneous trip. Let's go! 📍 Address: Klias Wetland, Sabah, Malaysia ⏰ Recommended visiting time: It is recommended to go in the evening, so you can enjoy the sunset and fireflies! 🌳 In this natural paradise that has not been eroded by commercialization, my friends and I joined a river cruise. It felt like we were in a National Geographic documentary, so real and dreamy! 🛶 The beauty of the Klias River is simply unforgettable. The clear water reflects the color of the sky, and it becomes golden as the sun sets. 🐒 During the first cruise, we were lucky to encounter small crocodiles, macaques, and super cute proboscis monkeys! The guides, Jamil and James, are like walking encyclopedias. They know everything about every creature on this land. These two guides are very friendly. No matter what questions we ask, they will patiently answer them and occasionally tell us some interesting ecological knowledge! 📸 The boat slowly moved forward, and occasionally docked to let us observe the wildlife up close. I remember that in order to take the best photos, we all became the "photographers" of the monkeys! It was so much fun! 🍽️ Dinner was served by the river. It was delicious and hearty, very satisfying. The firefly cruise in the evening was another surprise. Thousands of fireflies flickered with faint but warm light, like the gentlest stars in the night sky, lighting up the entire forest. ✨ 🚌 The transportation from the hotel to the destination is very convenient, about 2 hours by car. The air conditioning in the minibus/van is very good, very comfortable. During the entire trip, I was impressed by the service attitude of the Only in Borneo Tours team, especially Miss Marilyn, who communicated very smoothly and timely on WhatsApp. 💖 In short, if you are planning a unique trip, then Klias Wetland is definitely a great place to go. Trust me, everything here will leave a deep impression on you.

A nature forest on river cruise tour

Catch the Probocis monkeys in action in the wild. Also may get to see other animals and birds. The river is calm and life jackets are provided. After watching the monkeys then back to cruise center to have dinner. After dinner will head out to the river again to see fireflies. It’s like watch Christmas tree lighting. They will fly to the boat as well. I enjoyed the tour very much.
