We had a wonderful cruise on the Klias river. The journey there was comfortable, and it was lovely to receive local sweets and tea upon arrival. The river cruise itself was a completely unique experience - we saw lots of monkeys (3 types) as well as hornbills and crocodiles. Dinner was tasty, and the fireflies afterwards were magical. We took kids aged 1 - 13 and they all had a great time.

We had a nice time visiting the Klias River. It was a long drive from Kota Kinabalu and back, but we were rewarded with some good wildlife viewing, including a Crocodile, proboscis Monkeys, Macaques and some birds. After a nice dinner, we went out and viewed fireflies on the river. It might be nice to spend a couple of days in that area, since the wildlife seems to be abundant.

We recently joined a private Klias River tour while traveling in Sabah with our family, including young children under 6 years old, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip.

A special thank you to Mr Del, our guide, for his outstanding professionalism. He was incredibly helpful, attentive, and patient with our children throughout the journey. His knowledge of Sabah’s flora and fauna was impressive, and he shared many interesting facts that made the experience both educational and enjoyable. He also kindly helped us prepare some necessities before the trip, which made traveling with young kids much easier and stress free.

The tour itself was truly unique. We were very lucky to see many proboscis monkeys in their natural habitat, and the firefly experience at night was magical, watching them light up the trees in the wild was something our whole family will never forget.

Thank you to the team for such a memorable experience. I highly recommend booking this tour, especially the private option for families, if you want the best chance to see proboscis monkeys and fireflies in the wild.

Klias River Cruise. 
 Collected on time from my accommodation and driven in a mini bus to the river. Tea/coffee and 3 sweet snacks, which were very tasty, on arrival. During the 1st river cruise, we saw 3 types of monkey - Dusky Langur, Long Tailed Macaques and lots of Probisis. Back to base for a buffet dinner, which I enjoyed and then out again for the Firefly cruise. So many seen twinkling in the trees; they were very beautiful. Minibus transfer back to my accommodation. 
 Driver was very friendly throughout. Highly recommend the cruise.
