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: 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: Boat No. 5 (Random Arrangement) | Day Trip to Mantanani Island, Sabah, Malaysia | Snorkeling & Scuba Diving | Mangrove Forest
Guest User2026-07-22
I checked Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform) for Kota Kinabalu island hopping tours and heard that the company "Round Beach Love" was the most expensive, but I still chose them in the end. They really have a reason for the higher price; the staff were very enthusiastic, the one-hour boat ride was enjoyable, I didn't feel seasick at all, and we arrived in no time. The young men were very friendly and observed the guests' moods to create a lively atmosphere, making you completely forget about seasickness. Although we didn't get to ride the popular No. 5 boat, we rode No. 6, which was also a lot of fun.
The lunch on the beach was very good, and you can get refills if you're still hungry. My kids went back for crab twice, and it was delicious both times.
There were two snorkeling spots, and it cost 50 MYR per person for a photo shoot. There was no tipping required on the islands. The young men would bring bread to attract small fish for you to take photos, which was very nice 👍. The seawater was absolutely beautiful; the photos perfectly captured the joy of the moment. The bubble party was also a lot of fun, and the kids had a great time. I would definitely go again next time I'm in Kota Kinabalu 👍★

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.
