We had the most amazing time in KK, and booking our day trip with TYH Borneo was honestly one of the best decisions we made. We recently joined the proboscis monkey and fireflies river cruise, and it was by far one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. Tim was our guide for the cruise, and he truly made the entire journey exceptional. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and went above and beyond to ensure we experienced more than we expected. From spotting wildlife to sharing insights along the way, everything felt seamless and well thought out. The entire experience was incredibly well organised from start to finish. We felt very well taken care of throughout ,from the transport arrangements to the timing of each activity. The team at TYH Borneo was also very accommodating and attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. What really stood out was how smooth and enjoyable everything felt. There was no stress at all, just pure enjoyment and a chance to fully immerse ourselves in the experience. It’s clear that they are passionate about what they do and take pride in delivering a first class experience. Highly recommend TYH Borneo to anyone visiting KK, you’ll be in great hands and guaranteed an unforgettable time.
Hamimi@Chris was our tour guide. My dad and I were entertained and well informed throughout our day. The car ride was long but Chris made it enjoyable and pleasant. He was a joy to have as our tour guide and made every effort to make sure we were safe and happy. Thanks again Chris. Highly recommend his services.

The once-in-a-lifetime experience was more than what we hoped for. Our driver Chris was professional, friendly, and an informed guide. After a bit of searching, we were able to view a family of proboscis monkeys and some long-tailed macaques. Then after a tasty dinner we were taken to the beach at sunset for photo opportunities. Finally the fireflies lit up the trees for us on the cruise back to the jetty. We had an amazing time. Extra thanks to Chris for his attention to our comfort, safety, and efforts to make this experience unforgettable!

We had a great time on the Proboscis Monkey and Firefly tour! Everything was well arranged , we got to see the proboscis monkeys and the firefly tour was truly amazing. Thank you for the excellent service and wonderful experience!
I joined the Proboscis Monkey and Fireflies Cruise with TYH Borneo and really enjoyed it! The staff were super friendly and easy to talk to. Everything was well arranged from pickup until the end of the trip. We managed to see many proboscis monkeys, and the fireflies at night were so nice to watch. Overall, it was a relaxing and fun experience. Totally recommend TYH Borneo if you’re planning to visit Sabah!
Excellent day trip with TYH Borneo Tours! We truly enjoyed the beautiful nature and were lucky enough to see the Rafflesia flower in bloom. The warm service from the guide and our friendly driver made the whole experience even better. Highly recommended!
This was a brilliant tour with only our driver Ries taking us there and back. There are 2 river cruises on the Klias River - the first one is 1.5 hours before sunset, which we have seen proboscis monkeys, a crocodile, langur monkeys, hornbills, macaque monkeys and a monitor lizard climbing up a palm tree. Our tour guide was great and very knowledgeable. After the first tour, the sun was setting and we had dinner. After that, we went on the second cruise at dark to see the fireflies, which was awesome but it was cut short as the rain started lashing down on us so we had to get back to base quickly. Since I have done 4 tours with TYH Borneo and mentioned tour guides and drivers, there is one person that deserves a special mention and that is Nurul - she was the one who organized and catered for my tours and was very proactive when we were contacting each other via WhatsApp about arranging the dates, drivers, tour guides etc. It would not be possible without the work and commitment that Nurul did for these tours - she deserves all the credit for arranging my tours. Thank you Nurul for everything.
Dear Valued Guest, Thank you so much for sharing your detailed and wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Proboscis Monkey and Fireflies River Cruise, and that you managed to see such amazing wildlife despite the evening rain. We’re especially grateful for your kind recognition of our team members Ries for his safe driving, our knowledgeable guide, and especially Nurul for her dedication in organizing and coordinating your tours. She’ll be truly happy to know her efforts made your experience so smooth and memorable. It was our absolute pleasure to have you join multiple tours with us, and we hope to welcome you again for more unforgettable adventures in Borneo!
1. The mini-bus had bad back wheel suspension - because we were picked up the last, we had to take the rear most seats and suffered being thrown about for 4 hours on the road, to and fro. My parents are almost 80 and this was insufferable for them. 2. Disallowed to change seats - when we wanted to change seats on the way back, we were told this was not allowed by your company policy. Kathy (the guide) was rude about it and did not bother to understand about the discomfort of my old parents. 3. Driver and guide was late for pick-up and did not call to notify. We were left waiting and anxious until I called your office. 4. Apart from monkeys, there were a lot interesting birds along the river but guide did not bother to spend time on them at all.
Dear Our Valued Guest, We are sorry to hear that some parts of the trip did not fully meet your expectations. Regarding the seating arrangement, we understand your concern and regret the discomfort caused. As seating is usually arranged on a first-come basis, we kindly encourage guests to inform us in advance if they have special needs, such as wanting to sit in the front for elderly comfort. This helps us prepare and accommodate better. For the river cruise, the main highlights are the proboscis monkeys and fireflies, though we appreciate your suggestion to include more focus on other wildlife and will share this with our guiding team. We truly value your comments as they help us improve, and we hope to welcome you again for a more enjoyable experience in the future.
Booked a last minute trip to do a Bongawan River tour. TYH Borneo was super responsive and arranged everything very quickly over WhatsApp. Picked up from KK by our driver and guide Roger who was lovely. Arrived at Bongawan River and it was raining, didn't see any proboscis monkeys but a couple of macaques. The trip was quite short but nice. As mentioned by others, there is a lot of rubbish in the river, maybe brought in by the tide. Offered a buffet dinner, then trip to sunset beach. Fabulous sunset, many people were there but beach is big enough to absorb everyone! Then after sunset came back up the river and saw the fireflies in the trees, magical!
Dear our Valued Guest Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed the convenience of booking with TYH Borneo and that Roger made your trip pleasant. Nature and wildlife sightings can sometimes be unpredictable, especially with the weather, but we’re happy you were still able to enjoy the macaques, the beautiful sunset, and the magical fireflies. We also take note of your feedback regarding the river condition, as this is something beyond our control but always a concern for us. Your comments help us to continuously improve the experience for our guests. We truly appreciate you choosing us for your river cruise and hope to welcome you again for another adventure in Sabah. 🌿✨
