A Tour that You can't Missed in Kota Kinabalu

5.00I enjoyed this tour very much even though the weather condition did not allow me to see the most beautiful natural landscape. My guide Eddie and Zai were very friendly and knowledgeable about Sabah nature, landscape, lifestyle, culture and politics that they shared many interesting stories on the way to the floating mosque, chocolate factory, and the Bongawan River. There were two nice boat rides in the river, the first one for the Proboscis Monkeys and the second one for the fireflies. It was unfortunate due to some heavy rain in the afternoon, we couldn't observe the beautiful sunset at the beach.
Eddie was a nice guide,...

5.00No photographer (but tour says it is included), started 1 hour later because no floating mosque (not available on fridays), but no discount price for shorter time Tour guides were very good. Quite knowledgeable and friendly. Guide caught fireflies for customers which was a nice gesture Usually we don’t like side trips like chocolate tour but it was quite good. Very informative about cacao plus many samples to taste. Overall nice enjoyable tour. Would strongly recommend.

5.00Well organised, very informative, broad day. Eddie had a huge knowledge about all the tour, mosque, chocolate factory, river cruise and all the wildlife we observed as well as broader discussions about Malaysia. Eddie also spoke excellent English. We had a couple snacks and an amazing dinner.

4.00It was built into the tour course, so I don't know which travel agency it's sponsored by, but the course is the same, so I'm impressed here. The first thing you need to do is get on a boat and go look for Tengu monkeys and other creatures. It was interesting to see the wild animals seriously. After that, we returned to the dock for Buffet dinner. Then we boarded the boat again to watch fireflies. It was quite a fun river cruise.
Astonishing sunset and nature experience

5.00It's a nice arranged trip. We experienced the nature, learned about a bit history about Sabah, and saw the most fabulous sunset on the beach! Big thanks to our guide Timmy, he is professional, friendly and funny. He made conversation with each of the guest, and made sure everyone had a good time. I highly recommend this trip to everyone, if you like nature, and sunset!
