Great hospitality. The lodge was beautiful and the food was delicious. Entire tour was very well organised. The team shared their experience and were able to show all the five Borneo species. Able to see the job opportunities created for the local by this wonderful team. Very safe to travel with family.

This was a great and memorable tour to Borneo. The resort facilities and staff were excellent. Our tour guide, Hamit, was friendly and knowledgeable.

Awesome overall experience. The lodge and the tours were wonderful. Everything was well organized and the group sizes never felt too big, either. I really enjoyed this once-in-a-lifetime trek to see elephants, orangutans, and so many more gorgeous animals!

An amazing trip with Borneo Eco Tours. From start to finish we were thrilled with this tour. From Hanif who sorted all admin nothing was too much trouble, prompt and efficient. We were lucky enough to be allocated Lee as our guide. Such an interesting and informative man who clearly loves his job. He took us out on all of our river cruises and went out of his way to show us as much wildlife as possible. We also sat in on one of his talks which was also incredibly interesting. Sakua Lodge was a lovely place to stay too, very attentive staff and extremely well run.
We cannot rate Borneo Eco Tours highly enough and feel privileged to have met Lee. Thank you.

The trip with Borneo Ecotours was really awesome. We have spend a great time there visiting the stunning nature and fantastic wildlife. This was really an exceptional adventure. Everything was very well organized and the places we stayed offered an incredible comfort that was beyond my expectation. The staff was always very friendly and helpful.

We had a great trip on Borneo organized by Borneo Eco Tours. It was great. Everywhere we were received by a privat guide. And in case of questions Brandon was stand-by on whatsapp almost 24/7. Amazing service!
Due to bad weather our trip had to be rescheduled on the spot, but that was all handled with great care and turned out even better than what we had in mind before. Thank you Brandon!

Borneo Eco Tours were very attentive and provided good support and service throughout our trip. Our thanks to Jonathan and Ferdinand, both excellent guides, and very informative.

We started by travelling to Turtle Selingan Island, boat ride very comfortable. Wifi in minibus to port. No signal or wifi on Selingan island though which was slightly annoying (as had office to run too in London). A wonderful experience watching turtles come up on beach to lay eggs, which rangers collect, and then transfer to hatchery, we then were allowed to release some baby turtles which had already hatched back into the sea (this was all at night about 9pm). Accommodation leaves a lot to be desired; worst we have ever stayed in, VERY basic, changed rooms to B5 which was one of the better ones (no cockroaches under the bed which was a start!). Was it worth it; yes, one night of slumming it to see the turtles...definitely. If I had any gripes, it was provide wifi (even if it has to be paid for) and improve the rooms....

We then went on to Sandakan, visiting the Sepilok Orangutan sanctuary to watch the orangutans feeding platform (you're about 10 foot away so good views) saw 2 plus the macaques. However this was supposed to be the highlight of our tour and we left very disappointed. The shop was closed, and the young orangutan area also closed. they could make so much more of this venue. I understand that humans can't have interaction with the orangutans but with a glass partition walk way/tunnel one could walk through the area that they play or feed to view them up close would be a much better experience.

The sun bear sanctuary was actually slightly better as the walk way over the top of the bears provided ample opportunity to view and watch them.

We then travelled by boat to Sukau Rainforest Lodge where accommodation was a lot better. Again good boat ride and lots of information on the way down with stops to view monkeys and crocodile along the way. 3 boat rides during our 3 days here, viewing everything from the orangutans living amongst the lodges, to proboscis monkeys, various types of macaques, crocs to lots of different birds. Only failed to see the elephants :(. Food choices although buffet were good and provided enough choice for everyone.

We also went on a boardwalk during our 3 days and then finished back in Sandakan, with the memorial park and the education rainforest centre, both again very interesting, and information provided by Jonathan again very good.

Transferring us back to airport for our next fight...

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Borneo Eco Tours, guides and service excellent, and Sukau Rainforest lodge. Sepilok Orangutan sanctuary...don't set your hopes too high; you'll see more of them at the lodge living wild than at the sanctuary....

Communication from central office (Brandon and Audrey) was great. We had to make a last minute adjustment to our planned trip due to bad weather but this was all handled very smoothly.
Our guide, Jon, was amazing - very knowledgable, great fun, and brilliant eye for spotting wildlife.
Jungle trek from Sukau lodge with Lee was also a highlight.
Sukau lodge was incredible - staff were all lovely, location was awesome, rooms spacious and well equipped.
