Sabah

Saw proboscis monkeys and so many fireflies. We had bad luck and missed the sunset, but there were countless stars at night. The drive was a bit long, but totally worth it. The tour guide, John, also speaks Chinese!

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!

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.

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 guide Sue Yee is very knowledgeable, very thoughtful, and funny! She has a lot of trivias about monkeys and the other animals in Klias River. We really enjoyed a lot and we happen to see a lot of animals! We saw John (the resident croc), proboscis monkeys, macaques, a swimming crocodile, and a bayawak resting in a tree. The dinner buffet is great and also the afternoon snacks. I love the sweet and sour chicken in the buffet. I hope we encounter Sue again in our next tour here in Sabah. She's so caring and easy to travel with! She's so cooool and we love her! Til next time again!

overall very good experience, the bus going there aircon was not working at its best. But the bus coming back was much better.

Vi hadde det så gøy på partybåten! Alt var fantastisk fra start til slutt. Aktivitetene var godt organisert og gikk knirkefritt, noe som gjorde hele opplevelsen hyggelig og stressfri. Mannskapet og båtguiden vår var utrolig vennlige, hjelpsomme og fikk oss til å føle oss veldig velkomne under hele turen.

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! ✨
