Kota Kinabalu Fireflies Tour: Klias River Cruise Ticket

We had so much fun on this tour! We were so lucky to have spotted 3 diff monkey species, kingfishers, and a baby crocodile. The nighttime cruise with the fireflies was also so relaxing and so pretty. Dinner was also pretty good. Our guide Jumaliah is the best! Went above and beyond.

We are lucky to have bumped into 2 types of monkies, the long-tailed macaque and the proboscis, though the proboscis is a bit far from sight as they often climb up to the tree top. We are also lucky enough to see the baby crocodile, numerous bird species and even a monitor lizard lying on a coconut tree! The trip is amazing that we do not want to leave the boat! We wish to have more time on the river! Also hope that the raincoat could be included for the tour since when we arrive, it was pouring rain and we have to buy the raincoat from the local store. For other facilities like the toilet, it was better than expected. Food is not bad though not much variety. Tour guide is ok. Overall a good day spent in the countryside of Kota Kinabalu and would recommend to people who love to be in nature and wildlife.

Our guide and driver, Sulani, meticulously introduced us to several different types of monkeys in the rainforest, and we saw at least three kinds. The fireflies twinkling along the riverbank at night were also an experience we had never had before!

Our family of four participated on March 30th. The rain during the journey stopped by the time we reached the Klias River, and we were fortunate enough to see all three types of monkeys (proboscis monkeys, silvered leaf monkeys, and long-tailed macaques) as well as a water monitor lizard. The meal was delicious, and we saw many fireflies during the second cruise after dinner. Our guide, Jumaliah, was bright and enthusiastic in her explanations, making for a wonderful experience. Thank you very much.

The river cruise was awesome. Our guide, Ju, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, as was our boat captain Safar. The trip took us down the Klias River where we spotted, among other animals, long-tailed macaques, a river crocodile, and the charismatic probiscis monkeys. The captain spotted the animals from incredibly far away, and we got the chance to see them up close as he steered us towards the wildlife while keeping a safe distance. Dinner was, all things considered, pretty good -- we had a buffet of local dishes to choose from. After dusk, we went out for the night cruise where we saw the synchronized flashing of hundreds of fireflies. The experience was well-worth the 2 hour drive to and from Kota Kinabalu - a must-see if you're in the area.

This was truly one of the best tours I've taken in my life. We saw so many Proboscis Monkeys and other wildlife. The tour was super well organized and everything ran on time and went to plan. The guide, Ju, was incredibly friendly and super knowledgeable about all of the wildlife. I would 100% recommend this to anyone.

We had a very nice river ride to see the wildlifes especially the proboscis monkey. The tour guide and boat driver were helpful to point out the location where the monkeys hide. The afternoon tea and dinner were simple but good enough for us. We, include the kids, enjoy the trip a lot. Recommend for those who are planning to visit Sabah.

the journey from my hotel to this place was almost 3 hours (one way) but if was worth it!!! I’ve been wanting to see the proboscis monkeys since my last visit to Sabah and I finally saw it in the wild. the guide was friendly and knowledgable as well. we were lucky to spot the silver langur too.

Overall a fun and enjoy trip for us. Our tour guide is professional and the provided food is fine too. We spot 3 kinds of monkeys there and what surprised us the most was spoting a hornbill which my partner is a big fan of hornbill. Greatly recommand to bring a telescope or you can rent one there too.

Saw many proboscis monkeys and was also very lucky to see hornbills. The guide was very nice and spoke multiple languages. The boat driver had amazing eyesight and could see lizards perched on trees far away while driving. The dinner provided was also delicious!
