From Brandon making the booking process very easy, to Laurien and Syahfil’s expert guiding, our visit to Deramakot was made so much better by the team at Borneo Eco Tours.

Everyone provided a lot of information before and during the tour, and we felt safe and well looked after throughout. The expert guides were very engaging and knowledgeable about the Borneo wildlife and environment.

Ten out of ten would recommend them to anyone.

My wife and I had an amazing day with Borneo Eco Tours - featuring and nature Center with a canopy walk in the forest, proboscis, monkeys, and sun bears. The tour guides and drivers were very professional and kept the whole trip very interesting. What is amazing about that is the fact that they were able to pull that off on the election day! The way they went about this was to split the tour up into a morning and an afternoon session with two teams total. That way everybody had the chance to cast a vote. Despite the obvious distraction, they were extremely professional about it, and kept the tour very lively and interesting, including discussing bigger, picture topics, such as the unsustainability of palm, tree, farming, or limited, genetic diversity in insular ecosystems or lighthearted topics, such as non-smelly cousins of the durian fruit. Incidentally, we consumed some of that with the team in the afternoon… Overall, I was very impressed with the professionalism of the teams, despite the obvious civic involvement in a federal election.
The communication with the planning/administrative team in Kota Kinabalu was fantastic as well!
Thank you,
Stefan

A wonderful pair of trips to visit the orangutan rehabilitation near Sandikan and the KK mountain trip. Our guide on this latter trip (Adrian) was brilliant, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and keen for us to ask questions and learn.

Borneo Eco Tours are a long established who handled everything extremely well. We would highly recommend them for English speaking visitors.

We booked a 4d3n tour on the kinabatangan river with a boat transfer from Sandakan. It was absolutely fantastic and well organized.

The Sukau Rain Forest Lodge is a dream and all the staff there were lovely. We stayed at the villa because the Superior rooms were bei g renovated and not acailable.

Our guide Shahrol, who did most rivercruises with us, was great. He had a huge knowledge about Borneo and its flora and fauna. Thank you again for making our tour so special!

Over the years we have engaged a number of tour guides in our travel around the world. Borneo Eco tours would be one our most favorite if not The Favorite. They listened to our requests from the outset and ensured that our needs were met.
Oviera was outstanding and sorted out do many of the hassles caused by Jet Star flight delay. She juggled and rebooked optional tours accommodation etc so that we did not miss out on anything. Can’t Thank her enough.
Then there were our guide Jimmy. Nothing was too much trouble. Looked after us with so much of care and concern.
Chef Teddy at Sukau lodge was excellent sending me dinner to our chalet when he thought that i was ill.
I have been highly recommending Eco Tours to all my family and friends interested in visiting Borneo after seeing our pics.

A very serious and reliable tour operator: all arrangements and times were kept in place.
There is no better guide to visit Mount Kinabalu than our guide Adrain. He is in his element in nature
If we were to come to Borneo again, we would definitely choose the same travel agency to organize our trip.
Big thanks to all the team for a memorable trip!

My wife and I stayed at Sukau Rainforest Lodge for three nights. Wonderful property at an exquisite location - a true gem of a place! Luckily, the weather was awesome and so all the safaris on the Kinabatangan went smoothly! A big thanks to Abdul and our captain Nas for the wonderful safaris! We had some incredible wildlife sightings. However, I guess that the true attraction of the place was the staff - so very friendly and helpful! Thank you for a wonderful Borneo experience. :)

Excellent organisation, from the communication before arrival to execution of the tour everything was perfect! The whole team is constantly eager to make the 3D/2N day an unforgettable experience.

We didn't get to see elephants or orang-utans during the river cruises , however we've had the best time exploring the wild jungle of borneo! We saw different monkeys, crocodiles, birds etc.

The staff at the lodge is incredible friendly and made us feel home! Thank you for your extraordinary efforts!!

The lodge is located directly at the river with spacious rooms, hot shower, delicious food & rich variety , nice pool area and very interesting activities like an orang-utan talk in the afternoon. Drinking-water provided for free.

We would highly recommend borneo eco tours for a 3d/2n trip at Kinabatangan River.

From the moment we were picked up from our hotel in Sandakan we were looked after so incredibly well. We booked the 4D/3N River Safari and it was perfect. Borneo Eco Tours is a very professional tour company and the guides and staff provided us with exceptional service. Our guide, Vincent Y, was so knowledgeable of the flora and fauna in Sabah and provided us with lots of information about the physical and behavioral characteristics of each animal or bird we encountered. The Sukau Rainforest Lodge accomodation was great, the food was really good and the service by the friendly staff was wonderful. We were lucky enough to see everything we had hoped to see, except the elephants, so we left very happy with our whole experience. Highly recommend Borneo Eco Tours!
