JSK River Cruise - Cruise Into Borneo's Unknown

Explore the mystifying wetland of Kawa-Kawa with our breathtaking JSK River Cruise. Located about 112km northeast of the city centre, the magnificent wetland remains mostly untouched and is home to Sabah’s exotic wildlife. Here, you will meet our amazing friends – from the charming proboscis monkeys, striking kingfishers, dazzling fireflies, and more. The wetland is also blessed with an abundance of mangroves – a gift that we have vowed to cherish and protect. We are passionate about our animals and mangroves and we aspire to raise more awareness on the preservation of these treasures. Come and explore the best of Sabah’s wildlife with us. 1) Proboscis Monkey You might think that their long noses look funny but in truth, it gets them the ladies! These adorable primates can only be found here on the island of Borneo! They are also the best swimmers in the primate world – they can swim up to 30 minutes straight without resting! 2) Long-tailed Macaque Do you like crabs? If so, you have one thing in common with long-tailed macaques AKA crab-eating macaques. Grooming is common among these primates. The ones with higher status would get more grooming (and of course, attention from the ladies). 3) Silvered Leaf Monkey Silvered leaf monkeys can be found in Borneo, Sumatra, West Malaysia, and its nearby islands. While other primates munch on fruits, these silvery monkeys prefer eating leaves. Interestingly, their babies are born with orange-coloured fur. 4) Otter Otters are playful animals! They would slide down the river, play with stones, and even engage in a friendly wrestling bout. They are social in nature. They also have very thick fur - about 1,000 times denser than human hair! 5)Fireflies Fireflies are beetles (nope, they’re not flies) that emit light from their body via a process called bioluminescence. They use their light patterns as their language of love. Those flashes you see are usually emitted from males who are looking for females. 6) Kingfisher If you’re an introvert, you’d probably like this bird. Due to their shy and quiet nature, these solitary birds are only seen flying within their respective territories. These birds are associated with various symbolisms, among which include freedom, courage, adventure, and balance. 7) Saltwater Crocodile The saltwater crocodile is the largest reptile in the world! It can grow up to 17 feet long and weigh up to 1,000 pounds! If you’re lucky (or rather, unlucky), these bad boys can even grow up to 23 feet and over 2200 pounds. One more thing, they sleep with one eye open! 8) Egret Egrets are wading birds that can be found in saltwater and freshwater. You’d spot them from afar with their snowy white feathers and long legs. Interestingly, some cultures believe that these birds are God’s messengers. They are also symbolic of strength and freedom. 9) Monitor Lizard Monitor lizards are the Einsteins of the reptile world. They are considered the most intelligent reptiles in the world! Researchers have found that some of these lizards can even count up to six. They also have excellent vision and they don’t blink. 10) Owl Although owls can’t move their eyeballs around like humans can, they can rotate their heads 270 degrees to give them a better view of their surroundings. On top of that, these nocturnal birds have incredible hearing. 11) Eagles An eagle’s eyesight is around 5 times better than the average human’s vision! Their humongous eyes take up almost 50% of their head and can weigh the same amount as a human eye. They can see up to 3 kilometres away! They are apex predators as they sit on top of their food chain. Mangroves are tropical trees that grow in coastal saltwater zones in tropical and subtropical latitudes. They are vital for our biodiversity and they serve as habitats for thousands of species. They make our ecosystems more resilient and they help protect the earth’s natural resources, which in turn improves human sustenance and planetary health. They can act as carbon reservoirs to balance the earth’s climate to protect the planet from the threat of global warming. They also provide livelihoods for coastal communities. CONSERVATION Making a Difference Sadly, mangroves are now under threat due to land reclamation, irresponsible logging, and pollution. Many are still unaware of the importance of mangroves to our planet. Fortunately, it’s not too late for us to protect these invaluable resources. Change starts with us. Spread the word and save our future. “Save Mangroves. Save Earth”
