Kota Kinabalu: Bongawan Mangrove, Sky Mirror & Fireflies River Cruise Tour

Mangrove Cruise and Fireflies
And to Mirror Beach

By day, you'll explore Borneo's pristine mangrove forests by boat, getting up close and personal with rare wildlife found only in this region, including the pot-bellied, long-nosed proboscis monkey. Seeing this vibrant ecosystem with wild long-tailed macaques, otters, and kingfishers is sure to be an unforgettable and special experience.

As the sun sets, head to the beach and capture a memorable photo at the "Sky Mirror" point, where the sky reflects like a mirror on the water. As the sunset fades, return to the river to admire the fantastic light show of fireflies decorating the forest. This scene, reminiscent of the Milky Way descending upon the river, is most beautiful when seen with your own eyes, not in a photograph.

With a warm local afternoon tea, a hearty dinner, and round-trip pickup included, it's the perfect day out, so you can enjoy yourself without any worries!
