What to expect

Sabah may be best known for its lush rainforests and scenic tea plantations, but it’s also home to some truly stunning natural gems waiting to be explored. One such hidden treasure is the mangrove-rich Nanamun River, located about two hours from Kota Kinabalu. Join this thrilling adventure through Klook and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Borneo.

ATV Beach Ride is not included in this package.

The tour also includes a delicious local dinner and convenient hotel transfers, ensuring a hassle-free and memorable experience surrounded by nature.

Review for: Full Day Trip

Ooh! Very good! Awesome! You will not regret it. Sweet guides/driver, comfy transport, fun ATV driving learning for first timers, love the coconut pudding and dinner buffet. The place at Nanamun beach is very cozy and has very cute cats around. Beach and sunset are beautiful.

This is the best activity. Highly recommended. ATV time is not short, and you can't forget the excitement of running along the beach with a course designed for ATV. After the meal, the beach sunset and fireflies are fantastic. ATV is a comfortable dress that can be dirty, and at sunset, women should prepare a skirt like a dress to take a picture, long-sleeved, long pants for fireflies in the evening.

Riding an off-road vehicle on the beach was fun. Our tour guide Victor taught us in detail how to control the off-road vehicle, and he took care of our safety throughout the process. Makes us feel at ease. As for the firefly cruise experience, we were very excited. Although it was raining heavily, there were still many campfireflies. It was beautiful and worth going👍. Victor took great care of me throughout the whole process, thank you and worthy of praise👍

During the Chinese New Year, Victor, the tour guide, was very attentive. Only his mother did n’t understand English that day, and he would explain it to his mother in Chinese every time. He also actively took photos for us when playing ATV (but the technology is generally ~ XD). 揸 ATV in It's really cool when the beach is flying! In addition, I saw so many fireflies at night, it is really hard to forget! Push! !! !!

Recommended! You're on the pick up time, and the journey time is about two hours each way. When I go to Nanamun Beach, I visit a coconut pudding store and a rest area. Give ATV a photo ride when you arrive! We practice together along the tracks and we also have free time on the beach. Sweating is great ㅋㅋㅋ If you don't mind burning your skin in the sun, wear it cool. Dinner is served upscale but not luxurious and splendid but hungry after the activity; Sunset is beautiful too! Lots of people, Tanjung Aruang is another feeling. Finally, experience fireflies! It's really amazing because of the combination of stars and fireflies floating in the sky! You will never see it in the city center. And guide Victor !! Thank you for making the perfect tour from the guide to the ATV demonstration, taking pictures, and catching fireflies :)

Review for: 일일 투어

It was a tour that I learned and decided a lot. I had a lot of trouble because it was a tour with my mom. I couldn't find an ATV + firefly combination (even though ATV was on board within 15 minutes). It was a tour with Johnny guide and it was really relaxing and fun. ATV seems to have boarded within 45 minutes. Course turn time, 20 minutes free time like this! It was so good that there were so few tourists at Nanamun Beach that I could feel the speed! After dinner at ATV, we have dinner at the beach. We had a small packaged kimchi. And after dinner, we watch sunset and show rat fire. It's very short, but pretty :) And the firefly tour doesn't have a picture, but it's really indescribable. Firefly sparkle is still noticeable at the same time as the stars are pouring down. It's amazing how you volunteer to leave a review. It was a pleasant trip.

Wonderful experience driving ATV while watching sunset along the beach. Our guide, John is very friendly. Package included one coconut pudding, simple kuih for teatime and local buffet style dinner. One thing can be improved would be the ATV, it might run out of function while driving halfway. Enjoyed the fireflies in the night as the place is less crowded and lots of stars. John is also good at taking photos while you're driving ATV. Overall a great experience and would recommend to friends.

We had a really good time during this tour. Our tour guide, Kuma, was friendly and had given us plenty of freedom to spend the free times as we liked. First, we had a taste of the famous coconut pudding, which was a refreshing treat. The next stop was the most exciting part of the tour which was the ATV ride. The course was not that hard but still very exciting for beginners. The attraction guides made sure that nobody gets left behind. After doing the course, we had a chance to ride the ATV by the beach where we witnessed a breathtaking sunset. Finally, we were graced by a sparkle of fireflies, lighting up trees (as the other tourists mentioned: like a Christmas tree) and the river as they fly above the water. No pictures were taken here due to the dark. It is also not advisable to take pictures and use flashlights because they are sensitive to artificial light. Overall, I think this tour package is a must-try for everyone visiting Kota Kinabalu.

Insane experience!!! Tour started at University of Malaysia KK campus before heading to nanamun beach by car. Riding the ATVs on the course was fun and we even got 30+ min free time to speed across the beach. The beach sunset was stunning but shadowed in comparison to the unbelievable number of fireflies on the river cruise. Guide was extremely helpful and gave great tips on how to take great photos. HIGHLY recommend this tour to first time KK visitors.

The tour guide Johnny and the driver were very good at taking care of the whole process. During the decoration of the Pink Mosque, the coconut pudding is delicious. The ATV off-road vehicle is fun. It is very interesting to start training. , Although ordinary mobile phones are so impressive, it is worthwhile.
