Hi all, my flight got delay so I got an extra day to spend in KK. I'm arriving KK on the 20th late afternoon, and depart on 22nd in the morning, so I got the whole day of 21st Sep to spend.
What would you guys recommend? any freshwater/inshore guide service for a 1 day trip? for snakehead/toman/barramundi?
Or any guided tour to shoot some elephant/Proboscis ? I mean photography.
any info is appreciated
thank you

Hi barra,
U think KK is a open zoo ar?? animal can walk around like no body's business issit?? either u can fishing at the jesselton point from 6 pm onward or contact any local tourism agency for your monkey shooting business.

That is a good one Isaac. I don't think barra has the time to shoot any monkey unless he starts his journey very early in the morning.

Hi Sea baby 2, thanks for the tips on the jesselton - tho I have to now find out what that is :)
I have never thought kk is a open zoo, else why would I need guided service/tour? ;) I'm prepare to follow a guide into the jungle. Rang up a few agents - they suggest the monkey farm. As for fishing, plenty for deep-sea, but sadly there're no guide for freshwater.
waking up early is not a problem, I'm a fisherman ... kekeke ... we all can wake up at 3am in the morning. |

Hi barra1265,
Jesselton point is the terminal for Labuan-KK daily and open for fishing 6pm onwards, i'm sure there is many pple can show you the way, any bait will do, as there is a lot of groupers and snappers u can get there if the water tide is nice.
As the "monkey business", the nearest proboscis monkey sanctuary is located at Klias, u can shoot them in evening trips. I suggest you to follow trips organized by tourism agency, getting to Klias is abit tough. And, the trip is made daily.
All the best~!
Hi Uncle Thomas,
Hehe...just some welcoming jokes lar..hahaha
regards

I missed my chance back in the 90s. now regret like mad...donno when I can go back there F.O.C. (i went to Bintulu & Kuching on company duty back then) |

there are day trip fishing charters, but will cost around rm350-450/day (like 6 hours)
another option is jst walk around the esplanade and fish...but very slim chances. If u got wheels jst google map the town of KK, and look around the nearby estuaries..

A big thank you to all that took the time to reply.
I'm really surprise that toman is an alien fish in sabah.
Yes those durian are really good, hope i can run into them.
I'll skip those day charter organise by the agent. googling sound good, might give it a try.
thanks a lot guys!!! |
