SDK004: Sandakan Sunset Cruise (D) (Min 4 pax to go)
per person
Step into the heart of Borneo and experience the enchanting beauty of Sabah’s wetlands with our unforgettable Fireflies River Cruise.
Your journey begins at Pangkalan Restaurant, where you’ll be warmly welcomed with traditional Sabah tea and local delicacies. After a short briefing, take a leisurely stroll through a serene local village—perfect for soaking in the culture and snapping photos of everyday life rarely seen by tourists.
Hop aboard a comfortable riverboat and cruise along the tranquil Pangkalan River. As the sun sets, witness a breathtaking display of wildlife along the riverbanks—including the endemic proboscis monkey, long-tailed macaques, rare silver leaf monkeys, playful otters, and a variety of birds.
The journey continues to Pamaguan Island, where you’ll enjoy an incredible Bornean sunset. As night falls, be mesmerized by the magical glow of fireflies dancing among the mangrove trees, lighting up the night like nature’s fairy lights.
End your evening with a hearty local Malay dinner before returning to your hotel with memories to last a lifetime.
