I went on the Kinabalu Park - Botanique tour and had such an amazing time. Cindy was extremely helpful in arranging the tour and made sure to make note that I was interested in hiking so that my guide prioritized that while we were in the park. Ibin (my driver) and Jason (my guide) were both excellent. Jason was so knowledgeable about all the different plants in the area and his passion for birding made me want to learn more about all the birds flying around. I can’t recommend Borneo Eco Tours enough, and I will definitely be doing more tours with them in the future!

We booked a 7 night trip, starting in Sandakan. The trip stay at 3 different lodges, which varied from clean and comfortable, with great access to nature, through to incredibly luxurious. It was a great way to maximise our 8 days in Borneo and experience as much wildlife as possible.

Absolutely brilliant tour. All of the places we stayed were above expectations. We wanted an extra day from a different tour embedded into ours and it worked seamlessly. We visited turtle island (amazing) and Sukau river lodge. The amount of wildlife we saw was incredible , and we saw all the Borneo big five. We also added a visit to the Gomantong caves which was incredible. The staff were all very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend Borneo Eco tours.

Many thanks to Borneo Eco Tours for a wonderful stay in Sabah! From our first enquiry, William was very helpful in arranging a private customised tour. Loved the whole experience, the wildlife, the Kinabatangan River and our stay in Sukarno Rainforest Lodge. Special call-out for our guide Jad who was kind, knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. Highly recommend!

Adrian and Julius picked us up at our hotel right on time, gave us a packet of information on the birds we targeted and off we went to Mt Kinabalu. We birded solidly for three days and were extremely impressed with Adrian’s ability to find birds we had never seen and not give up trying to find the elusive ones. Accommodations were lovely and we would highly recommend Borneo Eco Tours.

We had a wonderful 3D2B trip to Borneo staying at sukau lodge. Our guide Jay was excellent, he was approachable, knowledgeable and had excellent English. We spotted 4 of the Borneo big 5. A real bucket list trip! Thank you!

Planning a trip to Borneo was tricky. I really didn’t know where to start. My time in Borneo was going to be limited to a week so I wanted to select the key locations and stay at the very best hotels available. I looked at the usual Abercrombie & Kent tours for guidance but the prices were ridiculously expensive - practically TWICE the cost of what I paid for the same trip.

So I started my research and found Borneo Eco Tours, a locally based Tour Agency in Borneo.

To be honest, I was a little nervous about booking with a company I knew so little about, especially handing over my credit card details, but my concerns were soon put to rest.

Working closely with attentive and knowledgeable Cindy Edward, she created a bespoke luxury tour for us in Borneo’s rainforest including the best luxury resort I have ever stayed in. Cindy gave me every confidence in the arrangements and patiently worked with our dates/availability and even guided us on flight connections. Included in our tour price was accommodation, ground transfers, guides, activities, all food and soft drinks. Our tour highlights included visiting the famous Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, early morning water safaris on the Kinabatangan River and spotting wild orangutans in the Danube Valley’s 130 million year old virgin rainforest. It was a truly epic adventure with all the comforts you could desire - we even had a Butler!

If Borneo is on your travel wish list, Borneo Eco Tours is the company to book with. They run a first class operation, are knowledgeable and reliable and importantly support and protect the environment and local communities whom they employ, train and develop.

I was traveling around Borneo in October 2024 and one of my goals was to visit Tabin Forest. Borneo Eco Tours organized my whole trip, being hosted in Utan Rainforest Lodge. It was expensive but we're talking about very high quality in every aspect. I had a private guide and I had the opportunity to take photos of animals very rare to spot, like ground cuckoo or several especies of wild cats. Highly recommended.
