One-day Sabah trip with mangrove river cruises for Proboscis monkeys, a jetty dinner, sunset views, and a night firefly search.
“Trip was very good organised. Our guide on the river was very helpful and tried to explain all aspects of surrounding wildlife. Lunch was very tasty and prepared by local people. Maybe we didn’t see all animals but this is the nature and you can’t program the wildlife. I recommend such kind of trip.”

“Fabulous trip and despite being the only westerner in a bunch of Koreans it wasn't lonely. The guide Nick Teo made me feel included and the beach pics were great despite the bad weather. The gangster monkeys in the boat were fun and we got to see the fireflies, tge trees looking like Xmas. Food was fine too”

Sabah tour from Kota Kinabalu: mangrove cruise, Proboscis monkeys, Dream Beach photo sunset, Sky Mirror, and fireflies.
“This is a long but enjoyable day out. The beach and fireflies boat tour are really special. Very crowded as all tourist spots are, and dinner is sparse (bring a snack if you have kids!), but still worth doing. Kelvin is lots of fun and really takes care of his group. I would come back to Kota Kinabalu just to do this day again. Enjoy!”
Dream Beach Sky Mirror at low tide, sunset color, and a mangrove fireflies cruise with dinner, pickup from Kota Kinabalu for $80.
“Seeing the monkeys in the wild was amazing,mirror beach was just a beach with a sunset.No mirror effect at all which was the reason we went. Our guide was not very informative at all and did the minimum,not even assisting with people getting on and off the boat.”
Every kind of day out, and where each one is worth doing.
