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 User2025-11-13
Jeff led the tour. It was a magical day. I enjoyed the farm tour, had a snack, and then went on a river cruise where I saw proboscis monkeys and other animals! I was thrilled. Then came dinner and a beautiful sunset on a deserted beach. Even the rain afterwards didn't stop us from seeing the magical fireflies. Thanks, Jeff.★

Reviews: 1-day tour to Sabah Mangrove Fireflies in Malaysia - Kawa/Mirror of the Sky/Ying 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: 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.★

Guest User2025-11-10
The itinerary wasn't rushed, and overall it was good value for money. The monkeys had quirky expressions and jumped around in the trees. If you were lucky, you could see a few monkeys sunbathing in the trees.
