Sabah Cruceros

originally booked this tour last minute mainly for the fireflies, but due to typhoon they had to cancel it and transfered us to a different tour— Kawa Kawa Tour which turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip! still with fireflies and river cruise but with additional farm tour with animal feeding and sunset at the beach! i’d like to commend our tourguide Adeor for making this trip memorable and fun! he lets us borrow his binoculars and has prepared raincoats just incase it rains. we were with an elderlu couple and he’s very attentive to their needs and takes photos of the animals just to show them. which is very sweet! he even took great photos and vidoes of the fireflies!

Pudimos experimentar los estilos de vida y la gastronomía de cada tribu. Las explicaciones del guía fueron fáciles de entender y compartió varias historias sobre Sabah durante nuestros viajes, por lo que no nos aburrimos en absoluto.

Este fue lo mejor de mi viaje de 5 noches y 6 días a Kota Kinabalu. La vida silvestre fue un poco decepcionante porque no vimos los monos narigudos que esperábamos, solo monos de cola larga. Sin embargo, el momento para ver el atardecer y el crucero de luciérnagas por la noche fueron lo más destacado. Es una experiencia realmente hermosa y maravillosa, donde también se puede ver un impresionante espectáculo de fuego. Recomiendo encarecidamente vivir esta experiencia, incluso si viaja con niños, ya que será una gran experiencia para ellos.

We had an amazing time on our tour. Our guide Sue Yee was very informative and fun, and Max was a very good driver. we saw proboscis monkeys and fireflies, and the fried bananas were a tasty snack!

Tuvimos la suerte de encontrarnos con 2 tipos de monos, el macaco de cola larga y el mono narigudo, aunque este último estaba un poco lejos de la vista ya que a menudo trepan a la copa de los árboles. ¡También tuvimos la suerte de ver al cocodrilo bebé, numerosas especies de aves e incluso un lagarto monitor tumbado en una palmera de coco! ¡El viaje es tan increíble que no queríamos bajarnos del barco! ¡Ojalá hubiéramos tenido más tiempo en el río! También esperamos que se pueda incluir un impermeable para el tour, ya que cuando llegamos, estaba lloviendo a cántaros y tuvimos que comprar el impermeable en la tienda local. En cuanto a otras instalaciones como el baño, estaba mejor de lo esperado. La comida no está mal, aunque no hay mucha variedad. El guía turístico está bien. En general, fue un buen día en el campo de Kota Kinabalu y lo recomendaría a las personas que aman la naturaleza y la vida silvestre.

Our tour was a private charter just for the two of us. We had hotel pickup and drop-off, and the facilities were new and clean. Upon arrival, we were even provided with welcome food and drinks. The river cruise boat was also very clean compared to other tour boats, which made us feel at ease. During the cruise, we were thrilled to see wild crocodiles! 🐊 Our guide was truly wonderful; understanding that we were Japanese, they spoke slowly and clearly in English. The sunset was also incredibly beautiful, and we were delighted that our guide took so many photos for us. After returning to the facility, we had dinner. It was absolutely delicious, and we ended up eating too much! Finally, we boarded the boat again for firefly viewing. It was our first time seeing so many fireflies, and we were truly moved by the experience! ✨ It was also a wonderful memory when our guide gently caught a firefly and showed it to us on their palm. From beginning to end, our guide maintained a comfortable distance with us, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time without any stress. Above all, we were touched by their kindness and warmth, which went beyond their duties as a guide. The scenery, wildlife, food, fireflies, and our amazing guide—everything created the best memories. We highly recommend this tour! ✨

It was a very enjoyable trip, big thanks to our guide, Sue Yee and driver, Max. Sue Yee gave very good explanations about the tour, and the food prepared by the locals was very good! Although Weston Wetlands is a distance away from the city, about 2-2.5 hours away, it was well worth it! Less crowd compared to other locations, we spotted a lot of monkeys (proboscis, silver-faced, long-tailed), birds and crocodiles. Firefly trip in the evening was very beautiful! Highly recommended!
