Reviews: Sapi Island Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia + Manukan Island 1-day Tour [Exclusive Line + Seafood Buffet Lunch + Water Attractions & Tours]
Guest User2026-01-11
Had a great island hopping experience. The pickup was punctual and everything ran smoothly right on schedule, which made the whole day stress free. Our guide, Mr Ah Hong, was wonderful, patient and very considerate, especially with my mom who had some difficulty walking and getting onto the boats. He made sure she was safe and comfortable the whole time, which I really appreciated. The food was average, but overall the trip was enjoyable and well organised.★

Kota Kinabalu Kawa-Kawa River Cruise: Proboscis Monkey and Firefly Tour (Including Afternoon Tea and Dinner)
The trip went very smoothly! Pick-up and drop-off were punctual, and the itinerary was well-organized. Afternoon tea and dinner were delicious, especially the local specialties, which left a lasting impression.
The most unforgettable experience was seeing the proboscis monkeys on the riverbank; they were lively, fun, and incredibly cute. The fireflies at night were breathtaking—the entire forest seemed to be lit up by stars, a dreamlike and magical experience!
The guide was also very professional and friendly, providing engaging explanations and patiently answering our questions. Overall, it was a journey full of surprises, and I highly recommend it! It will definitely be an unforgettable memory.

The highlight was definitely seeing the proboscis monkeys along the river—they were active, playful, and adorable. And the fireflies at night were absolutely breathtaking! The trees glittered like starlight, creating a magical and enchanting atmosphere.
Our guide was also excellent—knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to answer our questions. Overall, this was a wonderful experience filled with beautiful moments. Highly recommended for an unforgettable adventure!★

I think this is a very worthwhile part of Kota Kinabalu; the fireflies are beautiful, and the tour guide is excellent. Aside from the slightly bumpy ride on the main road, there are no other downsides.★

Reviews: Mengalum Island snorkeling 1-day tour includes lunch
Guest User2025-08-01
It's a fantastic island, a pineal room. I got a lot of life shots. It's not easy to take a boat for an hour, but if you look at the beautiful island, all this effort will be rewarded. However, most of them are Chinese. I hope you consider this.
