Bongawanin mangrove-jokiristeily ja tulikärpäset sekä Infinity Dream Beach -auringonlaskukierros

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Bongawan-joen risteily, Sabah Hämmästyttävä kokemus alusta loppuun. Olimme onnekkaita, kun näimme joen varrella sekä pitkäkuonoisia että pitkähäntäisiä apinoita, mikä teki risteilystä entistäkin jännittävämmän 🐒🌿 Maisemat olivat kauniit koko matkan ajan, erityisesti rannalla oleva pysähdyspaikka rauhallisine, avoimine näkymineen. Auringonlasku oli aivan upea, kun taivas muuttui kultaiseksi joen yllä 🌅 Kohokohta minulle olivat ehdottomasti tulikärpäset yöllä. Mangrovemetsät valaistuivat kuin unessa, ja yksi tulikärpänen laskeutui jopa kädelleni – niin maaginen hetki ✨ Suuri kiitos oppaillemme Garylle, Edwardille ja Kevinille ystävällisyydestä, avuliaisuudesta ja siitä, että he tekivät koko matkasta sujuvan ja nautinnollisen. Jos olet Sabahissa, tämä on ehdottomasti pakollinen aktiviteetti. Rentouttava, kaunis ja unohtumaton.

보트를 타고 맹그로브 숲을 지나며 물왕도마뱀, 긴꼬리원숭이, 반딧불이까지 다양한 야생동물을 가까이에서 볼 수 있어서 6살 아이가 정말 좋아했어요. 책이나 영상으로만 보던 동물들을 눈앞에서 만나니 아이에게 잊지 못할 경험이 된 것 같아요. 무엇보다 일몰이 정말 환상적이었습니다. 맹그로브 위로 물드는 노을이 인생 풍경이었어요. 가이드 Kelvin님이 사진을 어찌나 열심히, 또 잘 찍어주시던지 덕분에 인생샷도 건졌습니다. 마침 그날 한국인이 저희 가족뿐이라 Kelvin님이 더 밀착해서 하나하나 친절하게 설명해주셔서 감동이었어요. 동물이 보일 때마다 놓치지 않게 짚어주시고, 아이 눈높이에 맞춰 설명해주신 점도 정말 감사했습니다. 아이와 함께 자연 체험을 원하는 가족 여행객이라면 꼭 해보시길 추천합니다. 일몰 시간대에 가는 걸 강력 추천하고, 가능하다면 Kelvin님 가이드로 예약하세요!

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!

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!

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.

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.

Both tour guides, DanDan and Kelvin were friendly and provided clear explanations throughout the journey, all while keeping my son entertained and engaged. A special thanks to DanDan for capturing such wonderful family photos and to Kelvin for his careful, thoughtful and detail-oriented driving.

Excellent tour! We were guided by Kelvin who was very informative and helpful. Communication pre-tour and pick up/drop-off were seamless. Thankfully we were able to see families of both the proboscis monkey and long-tailed macaque on our trip today (however, these sightings cannot be guaranteed as these are wild animals). The Borneo sunset is stunning and the sky mirror effect photos are a must. Food and drink provided were simple but delicious. Would highly recommend this tour.

The journey today was very pleasant. The tour guide, Jordan, was conscientious and took good care of everyone. His explanations were very detailed and professional. There was no need to worry about language issues. The photography skills were superb and the photo quality was very high! We were very lucky to see the beautiful sunset, the "Christmas tree" of fireflies, and also witnessed the friendship between the lizard and the dog. This was an extremely unforgettable trip!

On Christmas Eve with a lovely weather, we were lucky to see everything except one type of monkeys. Very helpful guides, who made the whole tour more memorable. Didn't expect much from the Malaysian style dinner, which was eaten at 4:30, LOL!
