Enjoy one of Sabah's best-value nature experiences with this all-in-one wildlife adventure. Travel with certified guides, comfortable transport, and attentive service for a smooth, enjoyable, and memorable journey from start to finish.
We are committed to responsible tourism. Our team proudly employs local residents from the village of Bongawan, supporting the community while sharing their extensive knowledge of the mangrove ecosystem and its wildlife. Our local team also prepares your afternoon tea and dinner, and together with the village, we actively participate in river and mangrove clean-up efforts to help protect this unique environment.
About the Mangrove River
The Bongawan River is a natural mangrove ecosystem, not a clear-water or mountain river. Mangroves are rich in biodiversity and are home to iconic wildlife such as Proboscis monkeys, Long-tailed macaques, kingfishers, monitor lizards, mudskippers, and countless other species. The beauty of this experience lies in observing wildlife within one of Sabah's most important natural habitats.
Important Notice
Proboscis monkeys and other wildlife are wild animals living in their natural habitat. Sightings cannot be guaranteed and depend on factors such as weather, tides, timing, and the animals' natural movements. Viewing distance and visibility may vary, as we always prioritise observing wildlife responsibly without disturbing them.
As this is a genuine wildlife experience, we kindly ask for your understanding that animal sightings are beyond anyone's control. We respectfully request that reviews reflect the quality of the tour and service rather than wildlife appearances.
Please note that the Kota Kinabalu City Mosque (Floating Mosque) is closed to visitors on Fridays during prayer hours.
