Reviews: KAWA KAWA Nanamun Fireflies Sunset Cruise with Dinner
Guest User2024-06-16
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 User2026-02-08
Wonderful experience! Well organized, wonderful guide Adeor. He told a lot, and it was very interesting. We weren't very lucky with the weather, so the sunset wasn't particularly bright, but it was still beautiful. On the river trip, we saw vars, birds, and langur monkeys, but we only saw proboscis monkeys from afar. The evening river cruise with fireflies was very touching. It's a small miracle that no photo, video, or words can do justice.★

Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Kawa-kawa river cruise 1-day tour: Proboscis monkeys & fireflies - includes snacks and dinner
Guest User2026-01-17
Really satisfied with the trip. Our tour guide, Thompson is very friendly and informative. We manage to see the proboscis monkey. The fire fly trip also amazing. There is a lot of fire fly on the tree and flying around us on the boat.★

Reviews: Sabah Kawa Mangrove Forest Day Trip [Small group tour available | Mosque | Proboscis monkeys and fireflies]
Guest User2026-01-12
I think this is a very worthwhile part of Kota Kinabalu; the fireflies are beautiful, and the tour guide is excellent. Aside from the slightly bumpy ride on the main road, there are no other downsides.★

Reviews: Sabah Mantanani Island Day Trip [Limited-Time Special Offer | New Resort | Optional Diving/Mangrove Retreat]
Guest User2026-01-26
Overall, it was great, deserving full marks. The price was excellent, and a day trip for just over 300 yuan was incredibly worthwhile. Hotel pick-up and drop-off were hassle-free, and the speedboat was relatively smooth, preventing seasickness. Upon arriving on the island, I was amazed by the fine white sand and crystal-clear water. Snorkeling revealed a plethora of tropical fish and corals, and there were also free Instagram-worthy activities and bubble parties.★

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.
