A wonderful day! - An excursion that is definitely worth a visit, especially thanks to our guide Timmy. The first step is not necessarily the best but it’s nice DE see the Floating Mosque (we are not EN there, you have to pay to rent the covering clothes...) but luckily there was a marquee in the shade to wait for the rest of the group... The visit to the Kingdom of Cocoa was nice, we even wanted to see more about the fruit, the manufacturing process DE before the shop... but we bought some chocolates (not given anyway...). Then came the stage that we are waiting for dil’s (and the best DE the day): after 1:30 DE car, we arrive to take the canoe and walk on the river after a local snack break: banana fries (super good). Wonder DE see nassic monkeys so close DE us, without having the rush DE other boats, but also, a crocodile, macaques, varans etc... superb moment... then head to the beach for a beautiful sunset... certainly a little too many people on the page but it was worth it. Then back in the night with the fireflies on the river, precious mom ENt to finish with a great local buffet in privacy on the banks DE the river. A guide who was at the top with his explanations, his cultures and his kindness (Timmy). A beautiful busy day 🩵 Thank you Timmy!

Full day well spent! Recommended tour - Pick up exactly as scheduled. Very comfortable Van, safe drive. Enjoyed all the stops, incredible tour guide who shared his knowledge with us. We managed to see some probiotic monkeys, was not easy but they didn’t give up and we appreciate that. Overall was totally worth it. I would recommend for booking this tour. Thank you again for the amazing day.

Stay away from plastic, noise of boats , smelt of benzine or go to see Maybemonkeys - Wasting of time and money but the worst thing is that you are coming back sad from this horrible thing. Just plastic everywhere including water . We have seen few monkeys and thats it and those who we have seen have beem playing with hundreds of plastic trashes staying in the river among others floating. I am not surprised that there are no animals because you are staying in the traffic of boats with noise and a lot of smell of gazolin in the air ...A LOOOT. They dont care about their own nature and apps like this are keeping telling people lies about place . Also romantic dinner is worst than my trash hold at home .Stay away from trips like that . Also all in Kuching is the same lie. Only Mulu and Sandakan deep jungle and maybe ornagutan sanctuary . Again , stay away from Kuching and Kota Kinabalu trips unless you like breath with boat benzine , observe 3 monkeys trying to eat plastic and be lied about wild animals presence.
