Cruzeiro pelo Rio Klias para Observação de Macacos Narigudos e Vagalumes (Tour Totalmente Guiado)

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

Overall, it was a fun and enjoyable trip for us. Our tour guide was professional, and the provided food was also good. We spotted three kinds of monkeys there, and what surprised us the most was spotting a hornbill, which my partner is a big fan of. I highly recommend bringing a telescope, or you can rent one there.

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.

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.

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

Door-to-door pickup and drop-off. The tour guide provided commentary on local customs, traditions, and history throughout the journey. We saw many animals.

Perjalanan ke dermaga dari Kota Kinabalu agak panjang tetapi selesa (sedikit bergelombang kerana keadaan jalan). Pelayaran sungai sangat bagus. Dapat melihat monyet dan juga biawak besar. Pemandu dan pengemudi bot berusaha sedaya upaya untuk mengesan hidupan liar. Dapat melihat kelip-kelip pada waktu malam walaupun sangat terang kerana bulan purnama.

This half day tour comes highly recommend by my friends in KK. The trip to Klias takes about 2 hours and you get to enjoy the scenery of the mountains along the way. Remember to bring along mosquito repellent, if not, you may have to buy it from the shop in Klias. Upon arrival, we had local snacks with coffee or tea, the food is surprisingly good and after our break, we head out to see the proboscis monkeys. The driver of our boat is really good in spotting the monkeys from a distance and our guide was really funny, cracking jokes along the way which makes it really fun. He said there are crocodiles in the river but not to worry, coz they are vegetarian 😂. We did not spot any vegetarian crocodiles but did come across one at night and to spot it, shine the light in the river and you if see 2 red dots, it is the eyes of the crocodile reflecting back so you can see them. We returned to the jetty after the tour to have our dinner and it was buffet style with a range of dishes from chicken, beef, eggs, vegetables, soup and fruits for dessert. My kids commented that this was the best meal they had in KK 😅. We waited until the sun was setting and we head back out to the river to catch a glimpse of the fireflies. It took some time for our eyes to adjust to the darkness and once it has, you can see the fireflies lighting up the tree like a Christmas tree. We have some fireflies flying into our boat and we could cup it in our hands to have a closer look. Kids will be really enthralled by this experience. A really good trip. Me and my family had a great time

We decided to go for this tour at 10 am and were able to book it. The driver picked us up at the hotel on time and was friendly. The van was clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned. The ride took 2 hours on bumpy roads. We were served some simple refreshments when we arrived. Afterward, we were on the boat with two other groups of people. There was no tour guide for us, but there was one from the other group, so we got some good information as well. The boat captain was very good at spotting wildlife and would stop the boat for us to take pictures. Overall, the experience was amazing! We couldn’t see the sunset, but the sky was beautiful.

Even though it was raining heavily and we drove 2.5 hours to get here, it still felt very worthwhile. We couldn't see the monkeys' faces clearly from a distance, but watching them swing through the trees was really interesting. After dinner, the heavy rain made everyone want to give up on seeing the fireflies, but then the lady suggested we still try since the rain had lessened a bit. And indeed, we were very lucky to see quite a few fireflies!
