Situated 120km south of Kota Kinabalu, the Klias wetland is a haven for animal and birdlife particularly the bizarre proboscis monkey, macaque, leaf monkey and myriad species of birds.  Wildlife spotting is usually done from open-roofed boats that cruise the riverbanks of the Klias River with dinner at the end of the tour. However, with the new ‘Klias River Queen Cruise’, you get to spend the entire tour on board with the luxury of enjoying a sunset dinner and wildlife spotting at the same time. The 60-ft by 14-ft boat can comfortably accommodate up to 50 persons with a washroom, dining area and open upper deck.  Sunset on the wetlands is one of the most stunning and the fireflies that come out after dark is reminiscent of a brightly lit Christmas tree.  Those interested in landscape photography will find the higher elevation of the boat’s upper deck an advantage. Being just 2 hours drive from the city, this tour combines both nature and wildlife in a most convenient way.

Although there is a high possibility of seeing the proboscis monkey in the Klias wetlands due to their habit of resting by the riverbanks in the evening, wildlife sightings are not guaranteed.
