Reviews: 1-day tour to Sabah royal bay sky mirror mangrove | proboscis monkeys and fireflies/private small group optional
Guest User2026-06-09
This mangrove tour exceeded my expectations; our guides, Jay and Xiaoqi, were absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, they were incredibly attentive, helping us spot wildlife and reminding us to protect ourselves from mosquitoes and sun. Once inside the mangroves, they patiently explained the various plants and animals, answering all our strange questions without ever getting annoyed. Whether we were wading in the mudflats or getting on and off the boat, they were always mindful of everyone's safety. What touched us most was their warmth—they were all smiles, chatting like old friends, and even took many beautiful photos for us. What was supposed to be an ordinary day trip became a truly unforgettable experience because of them. I wholeheartedly recommend Jay and Xiaoqi; the mangroves are even more worthwhile because of you! I'll definitely book you again next time! 🌿🚣

Reviews: 1-Day Tour to Sapi Island Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia + Manukan Island [Snorkeling/Water Tours + Seafood BBQ Lunch]
Guest User2026-03-25
Punctual pick-up and drop-off, small tour group, easy-to-manage guide. Sapi Island has clear water, white sand, and plenty of fish, a great place for snorkeling. Manukan Island also has clear water, but not many fish. Guide Zhihong is good. Worth the trip.

Reviews: 1-day tour to Sapi Island Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia and Manukan Island with snorkeling, parasailing and water sports - Kota Kinabalu island hopping
Guest User2026-05-08
This five-day, four-night adventure in Kota Kinabalu combined the romance of the sea with the thrill of the mountains, every moment filled with surprises. This perfect experience was all thanks to the meticulous planning of our butler, Fatty Star. Arriving in Kota Kinabalu from Shanghai at dawn, the driver was already waiting at the airport exit, smoothly taking me to the hotel so I could catch up on sleep and recharge without having to drag my luggage. The sunset paddleboarding on the second day was incredibly romantic. Lying on the board, gently swaying with the waves, watching the orange-red sunset paint the sea into a shimmering gold, the sea breeze carrying the scent of coconut all melted away the fatigue of the journey. The trip to Mantanani Island combined with the Kawa Mangrove Forest was full of surprises. I upgraded to an introductory scuba diving experience in advance, and Fatty Star thoughtfully prepared detailed preparations and safety instructions. The dive guide was professional and patient, leading me to explore the colorful underwater world. After nightfall, the fireflies dancing in the sky were like stars falling into the forest, a breathtakingly magical sight. The last-minute addition of the Mount Kinabalu paragliding activity was quickly arranged by him, with thoughtful reminders about attire and precautions. The feeling of soaring freely over the majestic Mount Kinabalu and the winding coastline from the air was unforgettable. The three segments of the return trip were seamlessly connected, with helpful itinerary reminders throughout. Any needs were handled properly, and even highly-rated local seafood restaurants were accurately recommended. This trip was completely stress-free, enjoyable, and unforgettable. I sincerely recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Kota Kinabalu.

Reviews: Summer promotion - 1-day tour to Sabah royal bay sky mirror mangrove with fireflies - sunset/proboscis monkeys
Guest User2026-04-04
It was truly a fantastic trip. The Tianjing Mangrove Forest was absolutely stunning. Aside from not being able to photograph any crocodiles, we saw all the other wildlife, which was incredibly interesting. The fireflies were absolutely romantic! Also, a special thank you to our guides, Xiaoqi and my cousin. Xiaoqi provided a wonderful explanation, and my cousin knelt in the water to take some absolutely gorgeous photos for us. Thank you so much!

Reviews: [Summer Special Offer] Mantanani Island Day Trip, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah [Scuba Diving Optional/Multiple Diving Bases Available]
Guest User2026-01-31
The boat trip takes about an hour and a half each way. Those sitting in the front are more prone to seasickness and vomiting, while those in the back avoid this problem, although the very last row is more likely to get wet. Aside from the long journey, the seawater on the island is incredibly clear. Even non-swimmers can gradually learn the ropes with the instructor's help. The product descriptions and actual products match. For those who don't want to pay extra, you can prepare your own supplies beforehand to avoid additional charges. The staff are very friendly, and the food is quite delicious. Overall, it was a good trip.

Reviews: Sabah Kawa Mangrove Forest Day Trip [Small group tour available | Mosque | Proboscis monkeys and fireflies]
Guest User2026-08-02
Our tour guide, Xiao Ye, was excellent. We saw proboscis monkeys and macaques, and the most amazing thing was the fireflies. As night fell, we sailed to the mangrove forest, and the guide used special lights to attract the fireflies. When the fireflies twinkled and flew towards us, it was incredibly soothing and beautiful—a rare and delightful experience. The itinerary included a snack and a buffet dinner, which was quite good for the mangrove environment. A very successful trip.
