No. 6 of Night Attractions in Sabah

Kawa-kawa river cruise

Kawa-kawa river cruise is a mangrove ecosystem stretching across the Kota Belud area along the banks of the Sungai Tempasuk, best explored by boat as you navigate the mangrove waterways. The area is home to the proboscis monkey, a species endemic to Borneo. As evening approaches, groups emerge from the depths of the jungle to roost on the mangrove branches along the riverbank, where boat tours offer a gentle, close-up view of their natural behavior. Beyond the proboscis monkeys, long-tailed macaques, silvered langurs, monitor lizards, and various water birds are frequently spotted, painting a classic picture of the Kalimantan mangrove ecosystem. Nighttime reveals a different scene—fireflies gather in the mangrove canopy, their thousands of lights blinking in unison among the branches and illuminating the forest like a starry sky. For this reason, tours are typically split into day and night sessions: daytime for observing proboscis monkey activity and the sunset, and nighttime for a dedicated boat trip to seek out fireflies. These two experiences offer distinct styles, each with its own unique charm.
