Sabah නෞකා ගමන්

මුලින්ම මම මේ සංචාරය අවසාන මොහොතේදී වෙන්කරවා ගත්තේ ප්‍රධාන වශයෙන් කණාමැදිරියන් බැලීම සඳහායි. නමුත් ටයිෆූන් එකක් නිසා ඔවුන්ට එය අවලංගු කිරීමට සිදු වූ අතර, අපව වෙනත් සංචාරයකට මාරු කළා— ඒ Kawa Kawa සංචාරයයි. එය අපගේ සංචාරයේ එක් විශේෂ අවස්ථාවක් බවට පත් වුණා! එහිදීත් කණාමැදිරියන් සහ ගංගා යාත්‍රා කිරීම තිබුණා. නමුත් ඊට අමතරව සතුන්ට කෑම දීම සමඟ ගොවිපල සංචාරයක් සහ වෙරළේ හිරු බැස යෑම නැරඹීමත් තිබුණා! මේ සංචාරය අමතක නොවන සහ විනෝදජනක එකක් බවට පත් කිරීම ගැන අපගේ සංචාරක මාර්ගෝපදේශක Adeor මහතාට මම ප්‍රශංසා කිරීමට කැමතියි! ඔහු අපට ඔහුගේ දුරදක්නය ණයට දුන් අතර, වැසි ඇති වුවහොත් භාවිත කිරීමට වැහි කබා සූදානම් කර තිබුණා. අපි වැඩිහිටි යුවලක් සමඟ සිටි අතර, ඔහු ඔවුන්ගේ අවශ්‍යතා කෙරෙහි ඉතා අවධානයෙන් සිටි අතර, ඔවුන්ට පෙන්වීම සඳහා සතුන්ගේ ඡායාරූප පවා ගත්තා. එය ඉතා මිහිරි දෙයක්! ඔහු කණාමැදිරියන්ගේ විශිෂ්ට ඡායාරූප සහ වීඩියෝ පවා ගත්තා!

We were able to experience the lifestyles and food of each tribe. The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and he shared various stories about Sabah during our travels, so we weren't bored at all.

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!

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.

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!
