Flexible approach to travel planning. Very good support on site, significantly better than all other providers. Punctual and reliable, had a great experience with incredibly beautiful insights into nature and its creatures. No tourist traps, highly recommended

Our experience at the Rainforest Lodge exceeded all our expectations, starting right from the beginning when we were met by our guide Yunus at the airport. Everything was impeccably organised up to the last detail.
All the staff are enthusiastic and very welcoming, which enhanced our experience.
The rooms are extremely comfortable and clean. The food choices are varied and we looked forward to our meals.
Of course, the highlights revolved around our wildlife experiences. We were shown so much wildlife and learnt so much from our guide. The in-house naturalist talk on orangutans is definitely not to be missed. We really appreciated that we kept the same guide throughout our stay as he took care to try to show us as many different species as possible.
Last but not least, the sustainability, local employment, reforestation and wildlife preservation aims of Borneo Ecotours resonated with us.

We had an incredible journey through Borneo, traveling from Kota Kinabalu to Sukau to Utan and on to the pristine Danum Valley. Every aspect of the trip—from accommodations to transfers—was seamless and well-organized. The guides were outstanding: passionate, professional, and impressively knowledgeable. Thanks to their expertise, we encountered an astonishing variety of wildlife in its natural habitat. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommended!

We had a package for Turtle Island, Sabah, and Sarawak organised by Clare and from start to finish the communication was excellent. She organised everything so well and her constant emails were sure appreciated. On the ground Farhan was an excellent guide and lovely person. All the accomodation was great as were the activities. Seeing the Borneo Big 5 was amazing. We had a great time overall and loved Borneo.

Absolutely fantastic trip to Utan Rainforest Lodge with Borneo Eco Tours. This was our 6th time visiting Borneo but the first time for 14 years. We have always booked our trips with BET and I’m glad to say they are still as wonderful as ever. The Utan lodge is very new but everything was first class - comfortable accommodation, lovely staff (including the staff at Lahad Datu office) , amazing food and most importantly of all fabulous wildlife safaris with our brilliant guide Gbril. We saw some amazing sights including close up view of the Irrawaddy dolphins feeding, flying foxes and Leopard Cats. Only downside was we missed the Ground Cuckoo but gives us a reason to return someday. Overall it was a fantastic trip s d highly recommended.

From the first email with Borneo Eco Tours, the experience just went from strength to strength. Oviera was absolutely superb in booking our trip and was speedy with email replies despite the time difference. It was easy to book once we had confirmed our chosen tour.

When we arrived the hospitality/tour guides and itinerary was flawless. I have never been with a company before that was so organised as Borneo Eco Tours.
The staff, shout out to little Vincent was brilliant and looked after us throughout, confirming meet up times and checking we were happy with our room and dining. The tour itself was magical and managed to see the big 5 in the rainforest.

I can’t thank this company enough for all of their great organisation skills, friendliness and looking after us making this trip memorable and magical. Didn’t want to leave! thank you for everything! You have a wonderful team working for your company!

We spent 3 days/2nights at this wonderful jungle lodge. My whole family really enjoyed the trip; we had my wife’s parents (in their early 80s) and my teen daughter and pre-teen son. Our guide, Sylvester, tailored our excursions perfectly to suit our needs, and presented some amazing sightings and near-sightings (we tracked to within 20~30m of a lone bull Borneo Pygmy Elephant.. not close enough to get a good view, but plenty of fresh foot prints and fresh dung.. it was thrilling!).. we saw Proboscis monkeys, Macaques, Oriental Pied Hornbills, Hawk Eagles, Leopard Cats, Palm Civets, Otter Civets, Flying Foxes, Loris (an incredible spot by Sylvester!).. and much, much more. The Lodge is super clean and comfortable, the staff and extremely friendly and the food was awesome!

Setting up the tour with Clareassah Ambu at the main office was so easy. Although we had a 14 hour time difference, emails were responded to promptly, questions were answered, changes were made and she set my trip exactly as I wanted. We had four personal guides, Jaimen, Shareezam, Laslie and Eddie. Each was exceptional in their knowledge of the area, answering of questions, ensuring we were safe and making sure we knew exactly what was going on with the next tour activity. We stayed at Sukau Rainforest Lodge, Utan Rainforest Lodge, Borneo Rainforest Lodge and Kinabalu Pines Resort. Each was unique and exceptional. The food was excellent and the tours at each lodge were thorough and displayed an exceptional aspect of the area. We saw so much wildlife, including elephants, and numerous bird species. I highly recommend using Borneo Eco Tours. They are founded locally, practice exceptional ecotourism, hire locals for all positions, and proudly share their remarkable country.
