Reviews: Sabah, Malaysia Mangrove Firefly 1-day tour(kawa/Sky Mirror/Firefly River)
Guest User2024-12-23
With the elderly and children, we booked a day trip with a group of 7 people. The tour guide Amei is Chinese, the service is particularly warm, and there is no obstacle to communication. Will also help my husband find betel nuts, help children catch fireflies, take pictures! ! The photos taken for us in the city of the sky are perfect. Because there are children in the car, the driver is very stable, the whole process is very pleasant, a perfect day trip! ! I wish everyone a smooth work and a happy and healthy life.

Reviews: Mengalum Island snorkeling 1-day tour includes lunch
Guest User2025-08-01
It's a fantastic island, a pineal room. I got a lot of life shots. It's not easy to take a boat for an hour, but if you look at the beautiful island, all this effort will be rewarded. However, most of them are Chinese. I hope you consider this.

Reviews: Sabah Weston Wetland River Cruise, Proboscis Monkey, Sunset & Fireflies 1 Day Shared Tour
Guest User2025-09-04
We saw two types of monkeys and a large crocodile. We also saw a lot of fireflies, which was fantastic. Above all, the sunset was amazing. It was the best I've ever seen. The boat tour was a really great experience! The car ride was 2.5 hours each way, and it was quite shaky and painful. That was the only negative point. Overall, I would recommend this trip to others.

Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Kawa-Kawa River Cruise Proboscis Monkey & Fireflies with Hi-Tea & Dinner Shared Day Tour
Guest User2025-11-02
Our guide, Jeff, was very entertaining and knowledgeable, and the day flew by 🙂‍↕️. I can see why it has such good reviews. He gave us lots of information during the travel time, which made it fun! He explained things in simple English for us, who only speak a little English, which was helpful! I was happy to see that he also spoke a little Japanese. He took lots of photos and the tour was full of hospitality! I'm very satisfied with the level of fulfillment for this price! I highly recommend this tour to anyone from Japan looking for a tour! Thank you, Jeff 😊
