Sabah Cruise

Jeg bestilte opprinnelig denne turen i siste liten, hovedsakelig for ildfluene, men på grunn av tyfonen måtte de avlyse den og overførte oss til en annen tur – Kawa Kawa-turen, som viste seg å være et av høydepunktene på turen vår! Fortsatt med ildfluer og elvecruise, men med en ekstra gårdsomvisning med dyremating og solnedgang på stranden! Jeg vil gjerne rose turguiden vår, Adeor, for å ha gjort denne turen minneverdig og morsom! Han lot oss låne kikkerten sin og hadde forberedt regnfrakker i tilfelle det skulle regne. Vi var sammen med et eldre par, og han var veldig oppmerksom på deres behov og tok bilder av dyrene bare for å vise dem. Noe som er veldig søtt! Han tok til og med flotte bilder og videoer av ildfluene!

Vi fikk oppleve livsstilen og maten til hver stamme. Guidens forklaringer var enkle å forstå, og han delte ulike historier om Sabah underveis, så vi kjedet oss ikke i det hele tatt.

This is the highlight of my 5-night, 6-day trip to Kota Kinabalu. The wildlife experience was a bit disappointing because I only saw long-tailed monkeys, not the proboscis monkeys I was hoping for. However, the sunset viewing and the firefly cruise at night were truly amazing. It was a beautiful and wonderful experience, including a fantastic fire show. I highly recommend it, even if you're traveling with children, as it's a great experience for them too.

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!

Vi var heldige som traff på to typer aper, langhalemakaken og neseapen, selv om neseapen var litt langt unna siden de ofte klatrer opp i tretoppene. Vi var også heldige nok til å se babykrokodillen, mange fuglearter og til og med en varan som lå på et kokosnøttre! Turen var så fantastisk at vi ikke ville forlate båten! Vi skulle ønske vi hadde mer tid på elven! Håper også at regnfrakk kunne vært inkludert i turen, for da vi ankom, regnet det kraftig, og vi måtte kjøpe regnfrakk fra den lokale butikken. Når det gjelder andre fasiliteter som toalettet, var det bedre enn forventet. Maten var ikke dårlig, selv om det ikke var mye variasjon. Turlederen var ok. Alt i alt en god dag tilbrakt på landsbygda i Kota Kinabalu, og jeg vil anbefale det til folk som elsker å være i naturen og se dyreliv.

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!
