Kota Kinabalu: Bongawan River Cruise, City Tour & Fireflies
A great river trip
A great river trip. Plenty of wildlife to see. A surprise to me was how enchanting the fireflies were. A knowledgeable guide with very good english. If I'd had time i would have booked again.

I would not recommend...
I would not recommend this tour for an English speaking solo traveller. That said, it was well organised, the guides were incredibly helpful when it came to snorkeling and diving. Sadly the coral was quite bleached in comparison to Sapi and Manukan island. If you are traveling as a group this could be a good option. If not, you may want to consider another island trip.
