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.★

Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Kawa-Kawa River Cruise Proboscis Monkey & Fireflies with Hi-Tea & Dinner Shared Day Tour
Guest User2026-02-23
Our tour guide, Xiao Chen, was lovely and wonderful! There were more places to eat than we expected, and fresh coconuts were available for purchase. The mountain road was a bit bumpy, but that was unavoidable given the environment. There was also a free farm where we could feed the animals, which were very cute. The staff on the boats to see the monkeys and fireflies were all very cheerful. It was a very worthwhile trip!★

Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Kawa-kawa river cruise 1-day tour: Proboscis monkeys & fireflies - includes snacks and dinner
Guest User2026-03-03
The tour itinerary was quite comprehensive. While we didn't get to see the proboscis monkeys up close, the sight of countless stars and fireflies creating a breathtakingly romantic and unforgettable experience. The downside was the lack of clear instructions for the next steps, leaving some tourists a little confused. However, it was clear the tour operator had tried their best to provide a rich and engaging itinerary. Overall, for the price, it's highly recommended. The tea and dinner were decent, definitely worth the price.★

Reviews: Sapi Island Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia + Manukan Island 1-day tour [Exclusive line + seafood BBQ lunch + water activities]
Guest User2026-01-11
Had a great island hopping experience. The pickup was punctual and everything ran smoothly right on schedule, which made the whole day stress free. Our guide, Mr Ah Hong, was wonderful, patient and very considerate, especially with my mom who had some difficulty walking and getting onto the boats. He made sure she was safe and comfortable the whole time, which I really appreciated. The food was average, but overall the trip was enjoyable and well organised.★

Reviews: Sabah Kawa Mangrove Forest Day Trip [Small group tour available | Mosque | Proboscis monkeys and fireflies]
Guest User2026-01-12
I think this is a very worthwhile part of Kota Kinabalu; the fireflies are beautiful, and the tour guide is excellent. Aside from the slightly bumpy ride on the main road, there are no other downsides.★
