The one-day tour was exceptionally well-organized, it felt like not a single minute was wasted... Mantanani Island's white sand and turquoise sea are truly beautiful. The crew members fed a lot of bread at the snorkeling spot, attracting many beautiful fish, making me feel surrounded by schools of fish. In the evening, the mangrove night tour allowed us to see many fireflies. The crew members used lights to attract the fireflies, as if we were in a fairy tale world. We even saw a tree covered in fireflies, resembling a Christmas tree with lights, corresponding to the twinkling stars in the sky, washing away the fatigue of busy city life for every tourist. The only regret was not seeing proboscis monkeys during the afternoon mangrove cruise, but travel is all about having some regrets, so we have the motivation for our next trip! Secondly, I must emphasize how enthusiastic, gentle, polite, and experienced the tour guide Nelson was. He took great care of us throughout the entire trip, arranging for us to sit in the best spots on the boat for optimal viewing and travel experience. He helped us watch our belongings so we could take photos with peace of mind. A big thumbs up for Nelson! 👍

We booked a private tour and had such a great time visiting Pekan Nabalu, Tamparuli Bridge, and Desa Dairy Farm in Kundasang. The ride was super comfortable and pleasant. We skipped the National Park since we were traveling with our elderly mom, but still had an amazing day. At Pekan Nabalu, we were lucky to catch a clear view of Mount Kinabalu — sometimes it’s hidden behind clouds! It’s also a nice spot to grab some souvenirs. Tamparuli Bridge might just be a suspension bridge, but the view and the local legend make it worth a stop. Our last stop at Desa Dairy Farm was beautiful — loved the cool breeze, hillside views, and getting to feed the calves and goats. Our guide, Vincent, was soft-spoken, informative, and super helpful. We really enjoyed his company. Highly recommended!

This tour is such a gem. Started the tour with a beach destination in Mantanani Island - my fave beach of all beaches I visited. And ended the tour with fireflies - truly a magical experience!

I booked the tour on Klook one day in advance for the four of us. My family really wanted to see monkeys, but it was raining heavily and we couldn't see any. The itinerary included refreshments and dinner. We went to the beach at dusk to watch a beautiful sunset, and there were so many fireflies at night that they even flew towards us.
