Kawa Kawa Fireflies Sunset Cruise

Description

The Kawa Kawa River Cruise is one of Sabah’s must-visit attractions that you simply shouldn’t miss. Just a 1.5-hour drive from the vibrant city of Kota Kinabalu, you’ll be transported into eco-rich wetlands teeming with life. This well-preserved habitat is home to the rare proboscis monkey, found only in Borneo, along with otters and a variety of unique bird species. As night falls, marvel at the enchanting glow of countless fireflies, transforming the wetlands into a magical realm of shimmering lights.
