Amazing Tours.I really appreciate Clare help me to arrange this tour. We are lucky these days. Anything is also good. I have to mention my guide, Jumaidi is a very professional guide, He taught me all the time about the wild animals, the culture, and gave me any help I needed. Then In the Borneo rainforest, my bird guide is also good. Thanks anyone in my trip, I will share this tours with my Friend's, and come back again.

We booked the 3D2N Tour on Kinabatangan River and couldn’t have wished for a better experience during our time spent at Sukau Rainforest lodge and with the guides from Borneo Eco Tours. Even though the tour was on the shorter hand compared to other tours offered, the effort made by Borneo Eco tours to make the most of our time there was evident.

We were super lucky and saw the Borneo Big 5 on our first day already (note that this is apparently very rare) - a dream come true and definitely a once in a lifetime experience to see those beautiful animals in their natural habitat. Apart from this, we saw an abundance of other local animals, especially birds. Make sure to bring or rent binoculars for sure, as you don’t get super close to the animals.

The guides at Borneo Eco tours knew a lot about the animals & the environment at the river banks and made sure to share their knowledge with us. Also the staff at Sukau Rainforest lodge was exceptionally friendly and helpful which made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, everything was very well organized! The only minor downside was that the food was not entirely to our taste - this however is very subjective. Vegetarian options were available.

All in all the best thing we could have done during our time in Borneo and we definitely recommend booking the Kinabatangan River Tour!

This experience will be in our heart for the rest of our life. The nature, the people and lodges were so overwhelming that I or better we would like to say to everyone: You should do this once. We have seen so many animals for which we are greatful. The people in the lodges are so incredible kind, hope they are all doing fine.

We travelled with Borneo Eco Tours in September 2023. Vincent was our exceptional guide at Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary and at Sukau Rainforest Lodge. He has excellent English, was proactively communicative with us (never leaving us wondering what was going on), anticipated our needs and was always prepared and on time, rain or shine. On top of this, he demonstrates exceptional knowledge of the local wildlife and is an amazing wildlife spotter. Vincent also managed to do all this while piloting and navigating our Safari boat along the Kinabatangan. Because of this, we were fortunate to spot so much wildlife on this trip- Orangutans along with most of the other local primates, all but one of the hornbill species, very luckily - a family group of Pygmy Elephants along the bank of the Kinabatangan river, and the list goes on. He just made this trip so easy for us to enjoy. I am not normally one to give reviews, but this was an incredible experience.

Absolutely 5 star service. I did one day trip to the sanctuarys in Sepilok, that Clare manage to organize for me at the last minute.
The guide Farhan was fantastic, very knowledgeable and attentive. I had a great day that I will highly recommend.

Excellent tour - the joy of seeing Orangutans
I had a great day seeing Orangutans and the Rainforest Discovery Centre, and learned a lot about Sabah. Rahman was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Borneo Eco Tours was excellent with their communications to organize my tour.

Our family (with two boys) went on the 3D2N tour with Borneo Eco Tours and had the most enjoyable time. Our guide, Jonathan, was friendly and extremely knowledgeable and pointed out all the animals and plants to us up and down the Kinabatanganat River and its tributaries. We spotted the Big 5 minus the elephant and countless other interesting species. The Sukau Lodge itself was nice and the food was plentiful and delicious. We also visited the Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary, Sun Bear Sanctuary and the Rainforest Discovery Centre. We highly recommend this tour.

We had a fantastic experience with Vincent on our 4 day tour!
The highlights were Turtle Island and experiencing egg laying and baby turtles being released, and all the amazing wildlife (particularly the Mumma and baby Orang Utan) we saw during the tour. Vincent was very knowledgeable (not in a boring way) and shared lots of fun facts about the flora and fauna of Borneo. Our 22 and 19 year old children enjoyed it just as much as we did. Highly recommend as a wonderful experience and family holiday.
