Klias Wildlife Safari River Cruise – Proboscis Monkey & Fireflies

4.5/5 Kota Kinabalu from Amazing Borneo Tours & Events
  • Duration8h 30m
  • Max Travelers30 people
  • CategoryAgent Low Quality Product, Bus Tours

Overview

Located on the Klias Peninsula is the Klias Wetland, a Mangrove Forest Reserve. With the bizarre-looking proboscis monkey gaining as much popularity with the tourists as the orang utan, the Klias Wetland with its large proboscis population is fast becoming the latest ecotourism destination in Sabah.

Get those camera, binoculars on stand-by and keep your eyes peeled for the shy creatures in between the branches.

As dusk settles in with a sunset, enjoy the sights and sounds in a natural setting as you have a sumptuous village style dinner. Show’s not over yet though, there is one more trip through the mangrove swamp, but this time it is graced by the secret rhythm of fireflies and their flickering lights.

However, as much as we hate to disappoint, we are entering a natural habitat where sightings are common, but it is NOT GUARANTEED 🙂
