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!

A very good and comprehensive activity. They picked us up at our hotel and first took us to see Mount Kinabalu from a viewpoint (about a two-hour drive) in a shared van. Afterwards, we went on the quad bike activity, which was the 40 minutes we had booked. It was great fun, although you need to have a certain level of driving experience. Later, those who had booked the paragliding activity went on their own (otherwise, you had to pay an extra €90; it's better to book it directly through the app). I regret not booking that part in advance as it made me feel unsafe, although, being at the center where the activity took place, I saw that they were very professional. Afterwards, they took us to eat at a local restaurant. Then we went to see the wildflowers. The activity didn't include the entrance fee, but it was worth paying the 30 ringgit because we were able to see them. They have several areas where they usually grow, so it's very likely you'll be able to see them. Finally, we went to a dairy farm. Our guide was very nice.

Reviews: Sabah Kawa Mangrove Forest Day Trip [Small group tour available | Mosque | Proboscis monkeys and fireflies]
Guest User2026-10-10
The overall itinerary was rich and fulfilling, though the journey was quite long. Upon arrival at the pier, we first watched a special performance, then headed to find proboscis monkeys, followed by a breathtaking sunset and a spectacular display of metalwork. After returning to the pier for dinner, we set off in the evening to search for fireflies. We were very lucky; we successfully saw proboscis monkeys, proboscis monkeys, and fireflies – a truly rewarding trip. The only minor drawback was the limited time for water exploration. Our boat only circled the main channel, and while we saw other boats venturing into deeper waters, we couldn't go as far as we wanted, which was a slight disappointment.

Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Weston Mangrove Half-Day Tour with Fireflies and Sky Mirror at Kawa Weston
Guest User2026-09-29
The journey was a bit long, but well worth it! Xia Ya's product recommendations were fantastic! She was incredibly patient in explaining the differences between the products and kept us updated on event information, which made us feel very reassured while traveling abroad. 👍 The guide said we were extremely lucky; the weather cooperated perfectly at all the key points of the itinerary. While searching for proboscis monkeys, we also saw water buffalo, and quickly found the proboscis monkeys. Then we saw long-tailed gibbons. The proboscis monkeys were very gentle, while the long-tailed gibbons were quite noisy—such a stark contrast between the two monkeys! Kota Kinabalu had been shrouded in smog for a month without a sunset, but on the day we saw it, something magical happened—the sun managed to peek out and we witnessed a beautiful sunset. Although it was only about 10% of what it used to be, we were all very satisfied! The fireflies at night were absolutely breathtaking. They truly only appear in places with exceptionally healthy ecosystems. You could feel how much the people in the reserve care for the environment; they reminded us of many important things to be aware of. The fireflies were truly magical!

Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Kawa-Kawa River Cruise Proboscis Monkey & Fireflies with Hi-Tea & Dinner Shared Day Tour
Guest User2026-11-07
10/10 experience with [Mr Handsome Jeff] as our guide! He knew how to keep us engaged throughout the long trip even though we were a group of introverts haha. Kawa-kawa river is definitely the river to choose if you prioritise seeing the fireflies! Super lucky to have gotten a private car ride and even the entire night boat to ourselves since it was off-peak season! Definitely made the experience all the more magical.
