Looking for an abundance of wildlife accessible as a day trip from Kota Kinabalu? Join an afternoon trip to the Klias wetlands—one of the best spots on the west coast of Sabah to see proboscis monkeys in their natural habitat!

The scenic Klias River is located around 115 km from Kota Kinabalu and takes around 2 hours to reach by road. |
