Scenic Full Day Klias Mangrove Wildlife and Fireflies with dinner
Deep in the Klias Forest Reserve, one of Sabah's most precious protected wetlands, a world of extraordinary wildlife awaits. This full-day shared tour takes you from Kota Kinabalu into the mangroves for an unforgettable afternoon and evening on the water. After a two-hour coastal drive, arrive at Klias River Village Jetty and refresh with coffee, tea, and Malay cakes before boarding your river cruise. Glide through mangrove forests in search of Borneo's iconic proboscis monkeys, bird species, monitor lizards, and crocodiles in a protected reserve where conservation is paramount. Back at the jetty, a traditional Malay buffet dinner is served as darkness falls. Then the river comes alive as thousands of fireflies illuminate the mangrove banks in a flickering natural light display. Return transfer to Kota Kinabalu follows in the evening. Note: this tour operates with an English-speaking driver but without a dedicated guide; boat cruises are on a shared basis.
