Booked a tour with them as part of a cruise ship expedition. Didn’t turn up and claimed they were running late. Not good enough so avoid at all costs.

We had an excellent time on this tour! Would particularly like to highlight our guide Jad, he ensured that we had a great experience and we even got to see the Borneo Big 5!
Plus the rooms and facilities at Sukau lodge were really good - would recommend.

I did 4D, 3N where 1 night was on Turtle Island. Farhan was my guide from start to finish and I could not have asked for better.
Watching the mother turtle lay her eggs, the eggs, be put into the hatchery and some hatchlings released to the water was something magical. Through this experience, Farhan made sure that I was standing in a good spot, would take my phone to make sure that I got the best possible photos I could and really looked after me. On our night, 25 turtles came onto the island, 18 lay eggs, for a total of 1,142 eggs. (You arrive at Turtle Island before lunch and then the mother turtle comes up onto the beach at night. There isn't a lot to do during the day, but you come to see the turtles, so bring a book) That said, there is a video and an information centre that you look over in the early evening. I highly recommend making this a priority on your adventure.
I then spent the next 2 nights at the Sukau Rainforest Lodge and Farhan was my guide again here (with another 11 people). We went on 3 river cruises, 1 nature walk and we had a presentation on the Orangutang. During the river cruises, Farhan was a wealth of information on different types of birds as well as the monkeys we saw and he always gave plenty of time for everyone to get photos and to make sure that he was clear on pointing this out. We saw 4.5 of the big 5. The elephant was the 0.5. We heard them trumpeting, I saw a trunk and a silhouette of the elephant but we didn't see them fully to get a photo not for lack of Farhan trying. We went back and forth multiple times and we knew they were "right there" we could hear them, but couldn't quite get there.
I would also like to shout out to the whole team. Everyone I came into contact with, be they Max who organised my itinerary, to the bus drivers, the captains of the boats, Melanie who co-ordianted at the lodge, everyone was responsible for food and drinks were warm, friendly and welcoming. I was particularly impressed with how just about everyone you met was doing something "slightly different", but they brought everything together to be seamless.
I would highly recommend the area and Borneo Eco Tours, in particular as the Service Provider. Thank you All

We booked a 4D/3N trip with Borneo Ecotours and it was a great trip from start to finish. The lodge itself is very comfortable and the food great. Our guides for the wildlife trips were knowledgeable and great at spotting everything from crocodiles to gibbons to millipedes and all the hornbills we could wish for. All the staff were great. Would thoroughly recommend.

Such a profound experience getting to witness these incredible animals in the wild.

We did the 3 day/2night tour and it was exceptional. I know that we were extremely lucky to be able to see the Borneo Big 5, especially getting to witness these incredible Bornean pgymy elephants cross a river.

Obviously with nature you’re not guaranteed to see everything, but you are guaranteed to see some of the unique wildlife of Borneo and the guides are exceptional at spotting the local fauna.

Our guide Paul was phenomenal, with an insane eye for detail (still don’t know how he managed to spot that rhinoceros hornbill, from the boat he was operating in the rain!), very insightful, knowledgeable, and easy to get along with.

100% will be coming back to do another tour in the future.

We had a fantastic time not only on the Sandakan City Tour but at Sukau Eco Lodge. The resort was brilliant, the staff amazing and our Guide Jay was the best. He was professional, had a good sense of humour, extremely knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the region and in the first day he got us the Borneo Big 5. He took us on three x 2 hour boat rides up the Kinabatangan River and tributaries and in three separate occasions followed a family of elephants. He was amazing and sighted Proboscis and Macaque monkey families before us, spotted Rhinoceros Hornbill’s seemingly from miles away and pointed out the Alpha Male orang-utans that we hadn’t seen. It was a great trip and we wouldn’t hesitate to do it again and recommend it to others,

We had an amazing time in Borneo! Borneo Eco Tours did an excellent job taking care of us in all regards. The guides, accommodations, transportation, animals and food far exceeded our expectations! I would recommend working with them to book your vacation in Borneo!

Booked the Borneo Big 5. A great set up with many fantastic nature experiences and great and relaxing accommodation both in Sukau and Danum. Would not hesitate to book with Borneo Eco Tours again.

We booked a 2D1N tour to a longhouse. We booked last minute, yet we got an amazing guide - John, and everything was well prepared for us. We got a lot of information about the historia of Sarawak in the car while driving to the longhouse, and at the longhouse we got the best welcome ever. John has great knowledge, is super friendly and nice to be around. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone, as it greatly succeeded my expectations. Had a great, authentic experience that I will never forget.
