Reviews: Sabah Kawa Mangrove Forest Day Trip [Small group tour available | Mosque | Proboscis monkeys and fireflies]
Guest User2026-04-17
The tour guide spoke Chinese throughout the trip, which was great. The itinerary was well-planned and not tiring. We even managed to catch the sunset in the evening and saw fireflies at night.★

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: Bongawan Mangrove, Fireflies River Cruise & Sky Mirror | Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
Guest User2025-12-01
It was a pity we didn't see the proboscis monkeys, but we did see a lot of fireflies, which was nice. The Sky Mirror was also a great spot for taking pictures. Overall, apart from the disappointment of not seeing the proboscis monkeys, I was quite satisfied.★

Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Kawa-kawa river cruise 1-day tour: Proboscis monkeys & fireflies - includes snacks and dinner
Guest User2026-04-04
The tour is a must when in KK. You get value for money for all the activities in one package. You get to have a photo stop at the floating mosque, spot proboscis monkeys and other wildlife in the river, chase sunset at the beach, enjoy Malay dinner, and witness fireflies illuminate the night. Two words: Worth It!
