Discover Sabah’s natural beauty on a Kawa Kawa River Cruise tour, where mangrove scenery, wildlife, sunset views and fireflies come together in one memorable evening. Located in Kota Belud, the Kawa Kawa area offers a peaceful river experience for travellers who want to explore Sabah’s nature beyond the city.
Look for Wildlife Along the River
Keep an eye out for wildlife. You may spot proboscis monkeys, long-tailed macaques and birds such as hornbills. These animals live in their natural habitat, so sightings depend on the day and conditions.
The river journey also gives you time to enjoy the quiet surroundings and observe Sabah’s wetlands at a relaxed pace. Bring your camera, but remember to keep a respectful distance from the wildlife and follow your guide’s instructions.
Enjoy a Sabah Sunset
As evening approaches, take in the changing colours of the sky and the calm scenery around the river. Some Kawa Kawa tour arrangements include a stop at a nearby beach to enjoy the sunset before the evening cruise. Sunset views depend on the weather, but the transition from daylight to dusk makes this a lovely time to appreciate Sabah’s coastal landscape.
Watch the Fireflies After Dark
After sunset, the experience continues with a firefly cruise. Look along the riverbanks for tiny lights glowing among the trees. Seeing fireflies in their natural setting can be a peaceful highlight of the evening, although sightings may vary with weather and natural conditions.
