Evening river cruise from Kota Kinabalu to spot proboscis monkeys, watch fireflies, and get Sky Mirror sunset photos plus dinner.
“Communication from time of booking until being picked up by bus was first rate. After that it felt for the most part that we had a driver but no guide. We received a n informative 5 minute spiel about monkeys and some excitement when watching fireflies but instruction and information otherwise. Feeding macaques so that they reliably turned up, to the point that they wandered amongst us on the boat felt like a practice we grew out of in the 1980's, understanding that it is not healthy and can lead to aggressive behaviour if not fed as expected. Not much effort went into finding proboscis monkeys... we returned to dinner…”

“Reserva última da hora, contacto através do WhatsApp referindo que estava completo, expliquei limitação de tempo, 10 minutos estava confirmada. Ida e volta ao hotel, tudo conforme descrição. Viajei com uma familiar que devido à sua idade tem alguma dificuldade na mobilização deram todo o tipo de apoio. De salientar toda a equipa do staff pelo profissionalismo, simpatia, disponibilidade e amabilidade. A destacar o Kevin, descreveu e tirou dúvidas sobre a vida dos macacos probóscides e observações ao longo do trajeto. Vimos os macacos de perto, desfrutar de um deslumbrante pôr do sol na praia, espetáculo de fogo e pirilampos. O Kevin foi o nosso fotógrafo pessoal, o nosso animador…”
