Reviews: 1-day tour to Sabah royal bay sky mirror mangrove | proboscis monkeys and fireflies/private small group optional
Guest User2026-10-08
It's a pity we didn't get to see the animals up close this trip, but seeing the fireflies at night was incredibly romantic!
Our guide, my cousin, gave us so many surprises! He was incredibly thoughtful and attentive, bringing a small speaker to play music the whole way, making the trip relaxed and enjoyable. At the beach, he even offered to take amazing photos for us; his photography skills are superb, and he knows exactly how to frame the shots. Overall, I highly recommend the experience!★

Reviews: Sabah Kota Kinabalu island-hopping sightseeing cruise ticket Sapi Island Manukan Island Mamutik Island snorkeling parasailing sea walking
Guest User2026-10-06
I went to Mamutik Island, did banana boat rides and snorkeling. The water was very clear and there were many fish; I saw lots of sea urchins and various other kinds of fish.
The weather wasn't great, so I didn't get to do parasailing. I contacted customer service (Xiao Mu), and they promptly refunded me. Xiao Mu responded quickly and provided thorough pre-trip reminders. It's worth a visit; it's especially beautiful on a sunny day.★

Reviews: Island hopping in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah - 1-day tour to Sapi Island Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia and Manukan Island with optional snorkeling, parasailing and water activities
Guest User2026-10-15
Most of the day trips were booked through Ctrip, and we had a great time. Parasailing was fun, not as scary as I imagined. We also rented a camera to shoot videos. The service was good, there was no forced spending, and everything was flexible. I was very satisfied.★

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.★

Reviews: Sabah Mount Kinabalu Dairy Farm Day Trip + ATV/Paragliding optional + Rafflesia roasted wild boar (optional, at your own expense)
Guest User2026-08-12
My day trip to Mount Kinabalu was the happiest day of my trip to Kota Kinabalu! I've seen many beautiful oceans around the world, but a tropical rainforest is a rare treat. It was a wonderful and enriching day. Our guide, Ali, was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. I was traveling alone, and he took great care of me throughout the entire trip! The Mount Kinabalu viewpoint was breathtaking, the ATV experience was thrilling, the search for Rafflesia flowers was fascinating, the fruit market was delicious, and the dairy farm was absolutely stunning—it felt like a Malaysian version of Xinjiang! The roasted pork on the way down the mountain was also amazing! A visit to Mount Kinabalu is a must when in Kota Kinabalu; with the ocean on one side and the rainforest on the other, it was an unforgettable experience.
