1. Meet the Curious Proboscis Monkeys
One of the main highlights of this tour is the chance to see the fascinating proboscis monkey, a unique primate native to Borneo. Recognised by its distinctive long nose, reddish-brown fur and round belly, this monkey is one of Sabah’s most interesting wildlife attractions.
During the river cruise, keep your eyes on the mangrove trees along the riverbanks. You may spot proboscis monkeys resting on branches, moving through the trees or gathering near the water as the afternoon approaches. Other wildlife, including long-tailed macaques, silvered langurs and various bird species may also be seen.
2. Enjoy a Scenic River Cruise Through Sabah’s Mangroves
The adventure is not just about wildlife. The river cruise itself offers a peaceful escape from the busy city, allowing you to appreciate Sabah’s natural beauty from a different perspective.
As your boat travels along the river, you can enjoy the green mangrove scenery, fresh air and relaxing atmosphere. The wetlands are also home to different species of birds and other animals, making the journey especially enjoyable for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts.
3. Experience the Magic of Glowing Fireflies After Dark
As the sun sets and darkness covers the wetlands, the experience becomes even more magical. The fireflies tour is the perfect finale to your wildlife adventure, revealing a beautiful natural light display among the mangrove trees.
These tiny insects produce their own light through a natural process called bioluminescence. Some fireflies flash in synchronised patterns, creating the appearance of little sparkling lights across the dark riverbanks.
