Get ready for an unforgettable river adventure through the lush mangroves of Kota Belud, just 1.5 hours from Kota Kinabalu. This scenic cruise along the Tempasuk River offers breathtaking views of Mount Kinabalu as a backdrop while you search for one of Sabah’s most iconic residents which is the proboscis monkey! Watch as these unique, long-nosed primates leap playfully between the trees, and don’t forget your binoculars for a closer look at their fascinating behavior.

As the cruise continues, take in the tranquil village scenery, offering a glimpse into the traditional way of life along the riverbanks. Then, prepare for a spectacular sunset, a golden sky reflected over the waters, with the possibility of a magical rainbow appearing if a light drizzle graces the horizon.

But the magic doesn’t stop there! After nightfall, embark on a second cruise along the Nanamun River, where thousands of fireflies light up the trees like twinkling Christmas lights, creating an enchanting, fairytale-like experience. This mesmerizing natural display is the perfect way to end your adventure before heading back to the city.
