Mari Mari Cultural Village & Klias Wetlands Firefly Cruise

About this activity

Mari Mari Cultural Village is located deep in the countryside about 25 minutes away from modern and developing Kota Kinabalu City. The village operates as a museum that preserves Borneo ethnic culture. It aims to share the knowledge, history, culture and tradition of Borneo with you so that it is not forgotten.

Afterwards proceed 2 hours south by road from Kota Kinabalu and located in the largest protected Wetlands Reserve in Sabah. This makes it a great location from Kota Kinabalu for spotting wildlife as you join a late afternoon river cruise along Klias River. Your trip ends with a sparkle as Fireflies normally come out on display after sunset in the trees surrounding the river.
