Klias Wetland - Firefly and Proboscis Monkey River Cruise

A trip to the Klias Wetlands is usually a day trip which normally starts in the afternoon at around 2.00 pm and departs from the Kota Klias Jetty. Light refreshments are served before the tour starts, and a local, kampung-style dinner will be served upon arrival back at the jetty. It is highly recommended to engage a tour operator for this tour. The operator will provide you with an experienced wildlife tour guide who can give you detailed descriptions of the unique nature and wildlife you see and thus make your tour much more interesting.

The Klias Wetlands have become popular amongst visitors who do not have enough time to go to the east coast and experience Sabah's wildlife in Sukau. Klias is much nearer and does not require a flight from Kota Kinabalu to Sandakan. However, the proboscis monkeys in Klias are still "wild" and they are not so much used to see visitors like their cousins in Sukau. The Klias Wetlands should not be treated as an alternative to the east coast, with its fantastic wild life destinations. Klias has its own unique features which must be explored and enjoyed on their own!
