Itinerary
- 11430hrs Depart from the city hotel and the journey takes approximately 2 hours drive to the Southern part of Kota Kinabalu. Enjoy the scenic view as you pass through paddy fields, oil palm plantation and native houses among others. Upon arrival, light refreshment (local tea / coffee served with local cakes) is served in the typical village house. With the bizarre-looking proboscis monkeys 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. These tree-dwelling animals normally hunt for food in the evenings so many boat cruises depart the Kota Klias jetty at around 1600hrs. Other riverside residents that may be spotted are macaques, crocodiles, monitor lizards, tree snakes and birds such as the eagle. Back on the jetty enjoy a natural light show when thousands of fireflies put on a glowing performance for your benefit. A sumptuous kampong styled dinner is served. After dinner, return to Kota Kinabalu.
About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Y6974VEmaya0 contributionsPenang shore excursion day tripWe were very disappointed. Wasn’t the tour we were expecting. Was self touring which we could done it way much cheaper than paying $99.00 US dollars. It was very expensive tour in Australian dollars cost us $315.00. It was a mistake decision to book this tour, didn’t enjoy it at all. Also weather was awful as well that made it worse. I don’t know why has a boat picture to confuse people? The communication was very bad too.Written November 27, 2024

On morning of trip was collected at appartment from a very kind man called kumpar..a very good tour guide from start to finished,very knowledgeable about all the areas in Cameron island. I would recommend this trip to anyone coming to KL..it will teach you the simplicity of living,and how different cultures survive on their own surroundings. Kumpar is a lovely person on that trip.Written November 23, 2024

He took us to the waterfall, Cameron Valley Tea, Butterfly Farm, Bee Farm and Strawberry Farm. By far the best experiences were the waterfall and the Tea plantation. The others were not very good. Kumar made sufficient rest stops and recommended good stops for food.Written November 14, 2024

- HedyD0 contributionsShore Excursion Group Hill and Temple, PenangThis small group tour was the perfect way to spend the day in Penang. The driver/guide picked us up across from the port entrance and we passed several sites as we traveled to Penang Hill. After some explanation of what we would see, we were given free time to ride the funicular to the too to explore on our own. Next we toured Kek Lok Su Temple on our own, again after being given some facts. We prefer to tour in this manner, with time to explore what interests us and away from a group and a chatty guide. We also stopped at a batik shop and still had time to wander Georgetown before the ship departed.Written May 13, 2024

2 hour drive from KK in a minibus. We knew the distance because we had been on a previous visit years ago. Mini snack of fried bananas and something else (unsure). Off down the river to see proboscis monkeys. We did see a few as well as a crocodile hiding next to riverbank.
Back to land for tea. Buffet laid out in centre of room. I’m vegetarian so my food was supposedly prearranged. They brought out some fried potatoes that I would have eaten had they not been stone cold. Filled up on tiny bananas and watermelon.
We had to scrape our plates into bowls and put plates and cutlery into another. Hubby spotted 1 of the staff removing bits of meat and fish and putting into a dish which he took away.
Short boat ride to see the fireflies which we hadn’t seen on our previous visit, and then the 2 hour return journey.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. It sounds like you had a mixed adventure during your trip from KK. The river excursion to spot proboscis monkeys and the crocodile added an exciting wildlife element to your journey. The short boat ride to see fireflies also seems like a magical touch.
However, it's unfortunate to hear about the challenges you faced with the vegetarian meal. Having prearranged meals is crucial, and it's disappointing that the fried potatoes were served cold. It's commendable that you made the most of the situation by filling up on other options like tiny bananas and watermelon. The revelation about staff handling meat and fish is concerning and definitely worth mentioning for others with dietary restrictions.
Your detailed feedback on the food arrangements and the observation of staff handling food will be valuable for potential visitors, helping them make informed decisions. We hope your next trip will be smoother and more enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
