Reviews: 1-day tour to Kawa-kawa river cruise in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah - double river channels, fireflies, proboscis monkeys, and beach sunset
Guest User2026-07-23
The experience was superb! Convenient transportation with pick-up and drop-off, smooth journey, and a tour guide providing commentary throughout. The three main attractions – mangrove forest, sunset, and fireflies – created a truly immersive atmosphere, making for a wonderful family trip. Thank you to the business! Highly recommended, I'll definitely come again next time!★

Reviews: Mari-Mari Cultural Village Half Day Shared Tour with Lunch
Guest User2026-06-07
It is not cheap, but worth for money.
For busy season that might require schedule adjustments, better make reservation directly to the facility. (it took us a while to confirm our reservation after kindly adjusted by Trip.com.)
In spite of heavy crowd of guests, the operation was super organized and we were well attended and kept entertained all thru the 3 hours.
We all (including 6yo/9yo kids) were so satisfied with this experience.
The only issue we faced was the car parking. (won't be o problem as far as you use their pickup.)
Please bring mosquito spray, or get a very good organic one at the sight s(RM 15).★

Reviews: Mari Mari Cultural Village Half Day Tour | Immerse yourself in the cultural journey
Guest User2026-08-07
I made a reservation for Mari Mari Folk Village the day before. They sent me a confirmation by 6 PM on the day of arrival every day. I saw lizards, toured the village, tasted food and drinks, did some henna at the end, and watched a performance. It is a bit of a distance, but if you have plenty of time, it is worth visiting at least once.★

Reviews: Kundasang Highlands Discovery Day Tour - Desa Dairy Farm | Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
Guest User2025-08-12
It was very far from city so better to join the tour bus if you want to see Mt. Kinabal. where is big and mostly covered with clouds. We were lucky that we could see the top of mountain in a while.
