Proboscis Monkey River Cruise & Fireflies Tour


Picture
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! 

Besides having the opportunity to see the proboscis monkey in the wild, you may also get the chance to see a variety of birds, long tailed macaque monkeys, silver langur and possibly crocodiles.
​
The scenic Klias River is located around 115 km from Kota Kinabalu  and takes around 2 hours to reach by road.

Itinerary

1.15 - 1.45pm (dependant on location) Get picked-up from your hotel for a 2 hour journey to the Southwestern part of Sabah. Upon arrival, enjoy tea, coffee and locally made cake before joining your river cruise.

4pm – Board the comfortable fibreglass speedboat and cruise down the river for around 1hour 30mins in search of wildlife. Your guide will help you to spot macaques, crocodiles as well as the famous proboscis monkeys. 
 
6pm – Return to the wetlands base and enjoy a Malaysian style buffet dinner. Return to the river for a short cruise to catch a glimpse of fireflies slowly lighting up, decorating the mangrove trees and then lighting up the sky. Listen to the crickets singing while you walk back to the coach. 

9 - 9.30pm – Estimated arrival back in Kota Kinabalu.
