Proboscis Monkey & Fireflies River Cruise @ Kota Belud

Always headache when thinking of how am i travel around alone. And my colleague had recommended me to join the day tours by travels agency to observe Proboscis Monkey and Fireflies near to Kota Belud. The day tour only cost RM170 per person.

Together with another 5 tourists, we had started our journey heading to Kota Belud at 2.45pm 

after picked up by the travels agency at our own hotel. The journey took 1 and half hours from KK downtown to the river port. 

Nice scenery along the way to our destination

We been served with local delight as snack before on board to the boat for Proboscis Monkey.

Our little port to rest before going out with boat.

Local delight as tea snack.

Here we go to look for Proboscis Monkey. We are very lucky that we found a group of them on the tree within 5 minutes. We only allow to observed from the boat to ensure we did not disturb their natural habitat.

Ready to depart

We did a river cruise along the river while looking for other animals. Nice view along the journey. 

We decide to end our river cruise as we cant find any of them and decide to rush for the 

sunset at a beach nearby after our dinner. Local dinner buffet was served when we back to 

the port. The taste is quite good.  

Right after the quick dinner, we rushed to a beach nearby for the sunset. This was not part of the itinerary for the day tour but it was an adhoc activity that suggested by our tour guide.

After the sunset, we continue our journey heading to another port for fireflies observation. Due to the darkness and the fireflies are too small, i didnt able to snap any photo of it. However, the tree filled with fireflies look exactly like a christmas tree with the deco light. 

After 20 minutes of fireflies observation, we back to port and travel for 1 and half hour to 

go back to downtown area.. 

Sunset @ Tanjung Aru Beach

Heard a lot regarding the amazing sunset view at TanjungAru Beach and finally here I am!

People will normally recommend the first beach or go into the Shangri-La's Resort,
I prefer to go the middle of this 2 place especially there is a parking lot for those with cars. 

 The sunset began from 6pm till it fully gone at 6.45pm. 

A couple is having their wedding photo shooting there.

This is another batch of photos that I took on a separate day. The sunset is absolutely amazing especially with a clear sky. Can see clearly that the sun hiding under the water till it fully gone. 

Sunset in KK is something must not be missed! =D

Yee Fung Laksa @ Gaya Street

Gaya Street, a place that well-known for the Sunday Market, is definitely have more than that. 

Kedai Kopi Yee Fung, a famous place for both locals and tourists with their beef noodle and laksa.  

The owner had displayed all the menu on the board by the wall. It is easy for the customers to choose and to order the food. The top choice of all is always the number 1 and 2. 

Yee Fung is packed with customers especially Sunday. Most of them having the same thought with me whereby have breakfast here before explore the Gaya Street Sunday Market. 

These are the laksa and the beef noodles. Almost all the tables are served with both of these. 

Yee Fung did served lot of refreshing juice like this, lime lemon juice. The milk tea (or also known as Teh Tarik) is very famous among the tourist as it is part of the must-try in Malaysia.

Lokkawi Wildlife Park @ Kota Kinabalu

Found from google that there is a Wildlife Park near to Lokkawi area. I had drove

for 45 minutes from KK to Lokkawi Wildlife Park. It might be sound weird, but i did visited a zoo by myself. =P
