Proboscis Monkey River Cruise & Fireflies Tour
|
|
Looking for an abundance of wildlife accessible as a day trip from Kota Kinabalu? Curious about the infamous endemic Borneo Proboscis monkey and eerie dance of the fire flies? River Junkie offers one day trips to the Garama & Klias wetlands—the best spot in Sabah to see Proboscis monkeys in their natural habitat.
Did you know that the highly distinctive noses of the Proboscis Monkey can be used as snorkels when they are swimming? As male proboscis monkeys mature, their noses grow larger and more round in shape. Besides having the opportunity to see the Proboscis Monkey in the wild, you may also get the chance to see a variety of birds, common Macaque monkeys in large numbers, large groups of water buffalo, the rare Silver Langur and crocodiles along the river bank. The scenic Garama River is located around 130km from Kota Kinabalu in Garama village and takes around 2 hours to reach by road. |
