The Kinabatangan River is one of the most ecologically diverse parts of Sabah. With a length of 560 kilometres, it is also the second longest river in Malaysia. You won’t run out of interesting wildlife and experiences to witness here and going on a cruise ride is a great way to explore the environment.
While day cruises happen frequently, a night cruise is an interesting event as you get to see a whole different side to the Kinabatangan River. Upon leaving your departure point, the boat captain will steer the boat close to the bank and shine a strong spotlight to search for animals in the area. Once he has spotted some, he will keep the light on it for you to view.
During the cruise you can see many different types of animals such as proboscis monkeys, orangutans, wild cats, birds, snakes hanging from trees and even crocodile eyes in the river looking directly at you. Going on this cruise will show you a side of Sabah you have never seen before and leave you appreciating its natural beauty much better!

Safety tips
Safety tips
- If you’re keen on photography, remember to bring your longest lens as most of the wildlife is a fair distance away from the riverbank.
- If you are not fussy about last minute bookings, they usually result in a lower rate for the night cruise.
- Bring one or two thick plastic bags to protect your shoes. Wrap them around your shoes with many rubber bands.
- Due to the moist climate, the camera lens will tend to get fogged quickly. To avoid this, refrain from putting it back inside your bag and collecting moisture so that you can take great photographs instantly when you spot an animal.
- Bring some light drinks or snacks for yourself as the cruise usually takes around 2 to 3 hours.
- Night cruises are usually off-itinerary events, be sure to check with your guide/tour operator that your reservation is a legitimate one.
