After a delicious dinner of local delicacies, you will even get to see an evening fireflies show, watching the little light bugs fire up the sky.











Reviews
The tour guide and driver was very professional and kind. Although it was unlikely to see proboscis monkeys when it rained, we also saw cute long-tailed monkeys and beautiful kingfishers. But it was also because of the rain that it was particularly beautiful to see fireflies at night and the sunset during dinner. It's so beautiful that it's unreal
Not bad, very laid-back atmosphere. I didn’t see the proboscis monkey this time, but I saw a small crocodile by the river. The beach at dusk was amazing
Quiet and comfortable journey Air-conditioned vehicle, Calvin drives well and is very comfortable. The refreshments were delicious and I saw a lot of monkeys. The wetland environment was well preserved, and I was very touched by the close contact with nature. The Chinese food is delicious and healthy, suitable for the elderly and children, they all enjoy the wonderful fireflies, a must-see in a lifetime!
This cruise is so amazing! My favorite part would be watching and catching fireflies at night 😍 There's so many and they almost light up the whole lane of trees!! Of course, watching the proboscis monkeys is also fun 😁🐒
The monkeys were hidden and not visible, but they are worth seeing at least once. Thank you for taking me to the airport at the end of the tour! We were able to arrive in plenty of flight time!
Going to Kawa Kawa River was like two hours drive from the city. We were able to see some proboscis monkeys but we were not so lucky and we saw only the small ones. But I was happy with the snacks and dinner they served. It was a buffet dinner with unlimited coffee / tea and juices. I also enjoyed the firefly watching. Unfortunately we just stayed there for 5 minutes because of heavy rain. But thanks for this great trip Klook, it was way cheaper booking this activity in Klook rather than booking it in the city👍🏻
We had overall a nice day. The car drive was a little longer then we expected, but that depends on how many drop offs they have to do (and where). We had too little time to visit the mosk, if we left at 12 instead of 1 we could have made it. Buttt the boat trips were nice! We saw a crocodile and some monkeys (not the ones with the big noses). And the fire fly boattrip was also really special. The diner was also good and we saw a very nice sunset.
It rained a lot, so I was a bit disappointed while waiting, but it was quite fun to look at the raining mangrove forest and look for crocodiles and monkeys on the boat.
I highly recommend this tour! Really love our tour guide. He’s very hands on. I really thought we will not see the fireflies and the proboscis monkey due to the heavy rain but we’re so lucky we’ve seen like 2-3 proboscis monkeys!! We also returned safe. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. They’re very kind
I went to Sabah 10 years ago, and I went to the tourist center to report the price. After 10 years, I returned to this place with klook. It is too convenient for the science and technology development group. This group is too easy. It ’s about 10 people in my group. The group is super nice and simple. Afternoon tea, we will see the proboscis monkey. Unfortunately, the nearby high-speed proboscis monkeys under construction seem to have been destroyed. We can only see a few fireflies, which is super beneficial. A Zhang, a guide who speaks Chinese with 100 points
