Bongawan Mangrove River Cruise & Fireflies with Infinity Dream Beach Sunset Tour

This trip was definitely my highlight of 6-day vacation in KK. The trip was well organized, with great itinerary and service from all the crew. We were being picked up on time at our hotel in KK by Jordan who drove smoothly and very kind. There were some selections of beverages for high tea (cold water, juice, coffee), also mung bean porridge and banana fritters, which were really good. During the cruise, we saw the proboscis monkeys, long tail, monitor lizard, and crocodile. Our guide, Garry was funny, knowledgeable, and was great in explaining about the animals & surrounding areas. We got back to the Jetty for early dinner with Malaysian cuisine buffet & it tasted delicious. Then we countinued the cruise to the mirror beach and took some pictures. On the way back, we got to see a lot of fireflies on the trees and Garry and the crew were good on inviting them to fly around us on the boat. Jordan then drove us back safely and comfortably to KK. Overall this tour is highly recommended!

Guide Kelvin was very friendly and informative! Overall really enjoyed the trip, saw many wildlife, dinner was great, and Kelvin took amazing sunset photos for us! But please put on LOTS of insect repellent at the beach after the sunset, cuz the mosquitoes are RELENTLESS when seeing the fireflies!

Every detail of this tour is perfectly planned and organised, from time keeping to clean vans and boats. Special shout out to Kelvin our English tour guide, not only has he done in-depth research on the long nosed monkey, he is an expert photographer with a very good sense of humor despite having a mixed crew of Koreans, Japanese and Europeans. The groups are not too big so everyone has a good viewing of the animal life and mangroves, we were very lucky to see crocodile, monitor lizards, long tailed monkeys and a group of the long nosed monkey but from a distance. The Jetty is impeccably clean and the dinner and snacks was homemade, clean & many good options. The sunset is spectacular & the firefly show along with Kelvin and his guide Gary’s talent at attracting them into the boat was natures own magic show (pls tip Kelvin, the captain & boat helper at the end of the trip). Highly recommend this tour, and a big THANK YOU to Kelvin and team for making this the best day trip of KK.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Bongawan River Cruise, Sabah Amazing experience from start to finish. We were lucky enough to spot both long-nosed monkeys and long-tailed monkeys along the river, which made the cruise even more exciting 🐒🌿 The scenery was beautiful throughout the journey, especially the beach stop with its peaceful, open views. The sunset was absolutely stunning, with the sky turning golden over the river 🌅 The highlight for me was definitely the fireflies at night. The mangroves lit up like a dream, and one firefly even landed on my hand — such a magical moment ✨ Big shoutout to our guides Gary, Edward, and Kevin for being friendly, helpful, and making the whole trip smooth and enjoyable. If you’re in Sabah, this is definitely a must-do activity. Relaxing, beautiful, and unforgettable.

My 6-year-old absolutely loved seeing various wildlife up close, including monitor lizards, long-tailed monkeys, and even fireflies, while cruising through the mangrove forest by boat. It seemed like an unforgettable experience for my child to encounter animals in person that they had only seen in books or videos. Above all, the sunset was truly spectacular. The sunset painting the sky over the mangroves was a once-in-a-lifetime view. Our guide, Kelvin, was so enthusiastic and skilled at taking photos that we even got some amazing shots. It was especially touching that our family was the only Korean group that day, so Kelvin provided more personalized attention, explaining everything kindly and in detail. I was also very grateful that he pointed out animals so we wouldn't miss them and explained things at a level my child could understand. I highly recommend this experience for families traveling with children who want to enjoy nature. I strongly suggest going during sunset, and if possible, book with Kelvin as your guide!

It was such a photogenic+ chill relaxing tour. I really enjoyed how tour guide Kelvin introduced the details of wildlife living around the mangrove. Tour guide Edward is the GOAT cameraman, got so many good pic taken by him. I only expect to see some wild life at first, but didn't expect can gain that much after the half day trip, defo worth it. Will defo bring my family/ frds again in the next Sabah trip🔥🔥🔥

For family trips, consider the VIP service, which offers a more comfortable vehicle and dining environment. So lucky to see a family of proboscis monkeys and macaques. The water monitor lizards were a little scary 😂 The mirror effect of the sky was amazing, and the tour guide will assist you with taking pictures and is very friendly. It was Christmas Eve, and we were able to see a natural firefly Christmas tree ☺️ Also, our guide Bird was very humorous and spoke multiple languages. And, the meals that day were a pleasant surprise, the curry chicken and shrimp in tomato sauce were delicious 😉

The river cruise was very nice and we were lucky to see a few proboscis monkeys resting on the tree. There was also a very cute cat at the tour base and the food was simple and nice. Our tour guide, Jordan, is also very knowledgeable, took care of the whole tour group and helped us to take nice pictures. The sunset at the beach was very scenic and looked different every minute. There was also a lot of fireflies in the evening and the whole tour was enjoyable.

This tour is amazing, we enjoyed the tour so much!!! We got to see a group of proboscis monkey, and an extraordinary sunset from the Dream Beach even though the weather is harsh with a heavy rain in the afternoon. It was unexpected incredible views of the fireflies tour under a rainy day!! Not to mention our tour guide, Kelvin, He is excellent. Not only everything is clear and professional with detailed explanations during the tour , but also Kelvin shared a lot of interesting stories and history of Sabah!!! The terrible weather didn’t affect our experience ,actually make us have a happy accident!!

Today's tour was conducted by Kebin mainly (a man wearing grasses). His instructions and explanations were clear, understandable, and attractive! So I recommended you all to join them to feel tropical vibes. Included meal was also tasty. This tour supposed to last for 7 hours, you will feel like too short because of the contents. I never regret to join this tour. You can see unique monkeys, crocodiles, fireflies there, Incredible! All tour guides are kind and heartwarming. They deserve the most satisfaction by attendees.
