Klias Wildlife Safari River Cruise - Proboscis Monkey & Firefles, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia
112km from Kota Kinabalu City leads you to the pristine Klias wetlands. Mosey on your way down Klias River through spectacular vistas on an open boat in search of the endemic proboscis monkeys, long tailed, macaques, the rare silver languor and other wildlife along the river bank.
Get those camera, binoculars on stand-by and keep your eyes peeled for the shy creatures in between the branches.
As dusk settles in with a sunset, enjoy the sights and sounds in a natural setting as you have a sumptuous village style dinner. Show’s not over yet though, there is one more trip through the mangrove swamp, but this time it is graced by the secret rhythm of fireflies and their flickering lights.
However, as much as we hate to disappoint, we are entering a natural habitat where sightings are common, but it is NOT GUARANTEED.
===================
ABOUT THE LOCATION
===================
Located on the Klias Peninsula is the Klias Wetland, a Mangrove Forest Reserve. With the bizarre-looking proboscis monkey gaining as much popularity with the tourists as the orang utan, the Klias Wetland with its large proboscis population is fast becoming the latest ecotourism destination in Sabah.

Proboscis Monkeys
================
Proboscis monkeys are endangered mammals that are endemic to Borneo. Their characteristics are their fleshy, pendulous noses used to attract mates, big bellies and their light golden brown fur coats for the adults. They live in organized harem groups consisting of a dominant male and two to seven females and their offspring. They have evolved webbed feet and hands to help them outpace the crocodiles, one of their main predators. Proboscis monkeys survive mainly on a diet of leaves, seeds, and unripe fruits but will occasionally consume insects as well. The only fruit they will eat is unripe fruits as the sugars in ripe fruits can ferment in their stomachs and cause fatal bloating.
Proboscis monkeys (Nasalis larvatus) endemic to Borneo, is nicknamed “Monyet Belanda” or Dutchman by the locals due to its large body size, big round pot bellies and striking colours fur coat. But what makes them famous is the huge long nose and a permanently erect bright red penis seen in mature males. The reason is unknown for this permanent erection but with between 20 to 24 females proboscis in a male's harem, we guess the alpha male needs to.

But she decided not to focus on a cycle instead, she often took a day off and join a fun activity like a river cruise along the way.

Proboscis Monkey @ Klias Wetland, Sabah, Borneo
Proboscis monkeys are known for their long and large prominent noses and bulging bellies. Apparently, the proboscis monkeys cannot eat bananas as it can cause them to die. They have special digestive system and eat mostly young mangrove shoots on the tree.
It was a two hours drive from KK to Klias Wetland. Upon reaching there, we were told to wait for a while. A simple tea of coffee and some local 'kueh' (snacks) were served. We waited for about 20 minutes before were had a boat.
We started out at 4.45pm. The river ride was approximately 2 hours. We headed back for dinner before heading out again for a 20 minutes boatride to see fireflies ('kelip-kelip' in Malay).
The total package for us was at RM65 per adult and RM50 per child, inclusive of both river rides, light tea and dinner.
