Proboscis Monkey River Cruise And Fireflies

Grama River / Klias Wetland

This wonderful day trip take place in Garama Village - Garama River, Sabah; located about 130km from Kota Kinabalu. It's about 2 hour ride from Kota Kinabalu.

The Klias Wetland is the biggest wetland reserve in the state and is home to varieties of flora and fauna. The rare and elusive long nose and bulging belly proboscis monkey is found here. The very agile and wild silver leaf monkeys as well as naughty macaques are also abundantly found here. As dusk sets in, along the Klias River banks, millions of fireflies are found flickering their wings and igniting flashes of lights like Christmas trees.




Besides having the opportunity to see the Proboscis Monkey, one may also get the chance to see variety of birds, the common Macaque gathering in large numbers, sighting of the rare Silver Langour, large group of water buffalo and if you're lucky enough, you may see crocodiles by the river bank.
