Klias Wildlife Safari River Cruise from Kota Kinabalu

We took the kilas river cruise to see the probiscus monkeys and fireflies. It was one of the highlights if our trip to Malaysia! It was a long drive (I would suggest bringing a sweater and snacks/water for the ride) but worth it. We saw over 30 monkeys of multiple species as well as many birds and a giant monitor lizard. Our guide was very nice and helpful, and the food was good even for people with dietary restrictions or allergies. The fireflies were so incredible, and the perfect end to the day!

Visited during Raya 2019. Worth the looooooooooooong journey there. It was super jam as it was a public holiday. Booked the tour via Klook. The boatman was very good at spotting proboscis monkeys even at a distance! He would drive the boat slowly towards the riverbank for us to get a closer look. Don't expect too much for the buffet dinner as it was very basic but ok. Then if was off to hunt for fireflies! Sadly, it was cut short as it started raining. Lucky we managed to spot a few trees with them. So magical!

We were picked up at 1.30 by Walter our excellent guide and proceeded on a 2hr drive to the river. We then cruised and saw various monkeys and birds followed by a lovely dinner. We then went out again after dark to see the amazing fireflies and then a 2hr drive back. Loved it all and would recommend

We were looking forward to what was promised a nice drive through the countryside to Klias wetlands. The tour costs us about $65 per person. After enduring a 2.5 hour rather cramped drive in a 12 seater Minivan, on a somewhat below average road at times over numerous potholes we arrived at out destination. We were served afternoon tea made up of coffee, banana fritters, noodles and black coffee in plastic cups. After afternoon tea we proceeded with the river cruise to observe some proboscis monkeys which lasted about 1 hour before we came back to land for dinner. Buffet dinner was made up of rice, chicken curry, fried fish, a green vegetable dish, water melon and whatever was left of the banana fritters. Black coffee (they ran out of tin milk which was not replaced) and sugary syrup were made available. After dinner we went to observe some fireflies for about half hour before starting on our 2.5 hour drive back to our hotel. The excursion was just acceptable and not something to write home about.

This was a pickup at The Hotel and a 2-3 hour bus transfer to the river. One river Cruise with sunset and then din er buffé. Another night ride before going back. Chance to see some monkeys and birds etc. The pick up went Great. Small group about 20 People from 4-5 diffrent hotels. But then The bus broke down halfway from the river extract point. After 30-45 min the guide manage to fix 2 private persons with cars to take us the remaining ride. Very Nice work from our guide Assia. 👍. Also a rescuebus were 10 min away. Late to the boat we got alittle shorter first river time. But we saw 2 diffrent kind of monkeys, some birds, a crocodile 👍 (better be Quick if you want to take a photo), lots of bats. Then the Rain came down,Wow. 😄 Nature rules. We got back to dinner break with lots of food. Buffé, some Good, some not so Good. Its up to you. After The dinner we went out on the second trip on the river. A shorter trip just to see the fireflys. One firefly got freindly with us in the boat and flew in under the shirt. 😘. Pros: Nice guide, freindly People, we saw all the main animals as we hoped. Cons: 4-5 hours bus trip, but hey Its Borneo not a amusment park. The river is damaged by mankind, but isnt all nature? 😢 Headsup:Bring raincoat and put it on before the rain. 😅 Some drinks and snacks for the bus trip. Afterall it was a Nice trip even though some People got angry because the bus incident. But sometimes things happens and the guide/company did their best to fix it. 👍

Viaggio in mezzo alla giungla del Borneo. Bella esperienza. Zero zanzare, problema che avevamo prima di partire. Sicuramente da provare. Il cibo era buono

River cruising & Firefly tour：大人一人190RMの英語ツアーを申し込みました。直接o.i.b社で申し込むと150RMくらいのようですが、質問等日本語LINEでしたかったのでNIKIBIXツアーを経由し少しお高めになていると思います。 もし、ガイドが迎えに来いなどトラブルの場合も日本語で連絡できるので。 それでも日本語ツアーの半額くらいで楽しめました！ 予定どおり13：40ころ現地ガイド兼ドライバーがホテルに迎えに来ました。 先行して台湾の方と南アフリカの方の2名が乗車していました。 ツアー終了後、4名空港でドロップオフをお願いしていたので、スーツケース3個とその他荷物を積み込みました。小さめのバンだったため、荷物はギリギリ。大型スーツケースがもう1個あったらNGでした・・・ コタキナバル市街から車で1.5～2時間程度、ボルネオ鉄道の線路を横目にブルネイ方面に向かいます。 道路が悪いのと、車のサスペンションが悪いのとダブルで、社内で何度もジャンプするほど揺れました。 かなり飛ばした荒めの運転だったので、交通事故もたまにはあるのでは？と思いました。 往復の車内で寝ようと思っていましたが、振動がひどく、結局眠れず・・・車酔いする人にはつらいと思います。 行は途中1回ドライブインでトイレ休憩。トイレ使用の場合一人0.30RM。 そこから20分ほどでクリアスリバーのリバークルーズポイントに到着。 お芋やバナナの天ぷら（サクサクで美味しかったです）、お汁粉、コーヒー、紅茶で一息。 休憩後、いよいよ1.5時間のリバークルーズです。 クロコダイルや水牛もいるそうですが、この日は会えず。 一番楽しみにしていたテングザルには会えました。（木の葉や枝の陰になり、見えにくかったです。ジャンプするときのシルエットで、はっきり特徴の鼻は確認できました！） カニクイザルは数も多いのか、たくさん見ることができました。 日没でいったん、もどって夕食（カレー、おいしかったです）の後、最後はホタル。 クリスマスツリーのイルミネーションのようで、感動的でした。 天気も良く、夕焼けと満天の星空も見る事ができ、大満足のツアーでした。 帰りは行き以上に飛ばし、予定より40分も早く空港に到着でした・・・。 道中は結構つらかったですが、大自然の中のリバークルーズ、参加して大正解でした。 雨にふられると、遠くまで行ってホタルも見えず・・・となると残念なことになりますね。
