An Amazing Experience

Borneo is an amazing place to visit once in your lifetime. Thanks to Borneo Eco tours, our experience was flawless. They are a very well coordinated tour company. It starts from Danella my consultant, I mean we must have shared like 2 dozen or more emails to finalize on everything. She just was very quick in her responses. The Sukau Rainforest lodge that we stayed at was also very well organized and very punctual with their timings and the schedules planned. A special mention to our tour guides Mirwan and Vincent. They had like a plethora of information that they wanted to share with us. On the whole an amazing experience, a one that I would definitely reccomend.

Absolutely Fantastic

We have spent the last 3 days with Borneo Eco Tours, firstly doing there Sandakan trip (Proboscis Monkeys, Orangutans, Sun Bears, Rainforest Discovery Centre and the war memorial) and then today we did their white water rafting trip.

Sandakan - We loved this trip. Our guides were brilliant, their knowledge of each section of the trip was amazing and it really enhanced the experience for us. They provide transport between each section so you never have to worry about getting to the next place! The Sabah hotel is great wee stop over, with nice views, pool and a lovely buffet dinner with a huge variety. I can not recommend this trip enough for people of any age with an interest in seeing more of Borneo’s amazing wildlife. The value for money this trip gives you makes it even better!

White Water Rafting - We decided to take part in the more advanced session with 9 great rapid sections. We had never done this before but our guide was absolutely amazing, his health and safety briefing was funny yet informative making us feel relaxed with our surroundings. At no point in the trip did I feel out of my comfort zone as I knew I had our guides looking out for us. Again, this trip is brilliant value for money and I would recommend to it to any thrill seeker looking to try their hand at WWR. 

Throughout our time with Borneo Eco Tours, the correspondence has been flawless. We had all of the information we needed and any questions we had were answered quickly over email. Well done to Borneo Eco Tours, you made our trip amazing and I will definitely be using you and recommending you to others in the future.

Great way to experience the rain forest.

We booked on the River & Rainforest (BB7G) tour and thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Borneo rainforest. The first two stops (the Orangutan and Sun Bear rehabilitation sites) were too touristy for my liking, but it was good to have a close-up view of both species. Getting out onto the river and heading into the wilderness and away from the bus tours was a great relief. The two lodges were pretty remote and involved lengthy travel, but it was worth all the effort and is the only way to see the true jungle. The guides were very knowledgeable and looked after us very well and the lodges were faultless. This was not a cheap trip, but was well worth the money for a once in a life time experience.

Just completed the Taste of Borneo tour, it was beyond fabulous. From the first contact to arriving back home, everything was flawless. Hotels were clean, comfortable and close to where we wanted to be. Guides were just brilliant, took care of everything efficiently and quickly, enabling us to make the most of each place we visited. Their knowledge of the people, places, flora and fauna was just remarkable. How they spotted some of the animals is beyond me! The lodges at Sepilock and Sukau were beautiful and so close to nature, you fell asleep to the sounds of the jungle. We saw the Big 5 in the wild as well as so many other species, such as macaques, snakes, flying lemurs, black squirrels, leeches and frogs as well as a huge variety of birds. Food provided was delicious and plenty of it. We were not rushed at any time which allowed us to really appreciate the wildlife and culture of this beautiful country, and take loads of pictures. Well done Borneoecotours. We just have great memories of everything we saw and everyone we met. Thank you. 

Stunning location, friendly knowledgeable guides - absolutely suburb. Sukau Rainforest Lodge is an amazing base along the Kinabatagan River - the variety of wildlife is breathtaking. Our guide, Joy was fantastic, very friendly and keen to share her beautiful Country with us.

Very efficient and excellent guides

Fantastic service - booking process was very efficient and payment was easy. And then the whole thing ran like clockwork and our guide was just amazing. Her name was Joy and she was clearly very passionate about what she does and very knowledgable about all the wildlife. Would recommend this tour company for sure!

Perfect tour of all the Kinabatangan River wildlife

We booked our 3 day/2 night visit of the Kinabatangan River in Borneo with Borneo Eco Tours. From our pickup at the airport, to our stay and tours at Sukau Rainforest Lodge, everything was excellent and very well-coordinated! The Sukau Rainforest lodge was the absolute best place to see wildlife and we had a great rainforest experience in Borneo. During our visit, we saw all of the “Borneo Big 5”, including orangutans, Proboscis monkeys, hornbills, Pygmy elephants, kingfisher birds, langurs, macaques, geckos, frogs, snakes, crocodiles, wild boar, and more! We also got to watch the release of a 9 foot python that they caught on the lodge grounds during our stay. A stay at the Sukau lodge is a truly special experience and great way to see the wildlife and surrounding nature. The staff was very friendly and the guides were excellent at spotting wildlife on our river tours and sharing lots of interesting information about the animals. We were very happy with our tour experience. Anyone considering a visit to Borneo should definitely coordinate their visit with Borneo Eco Tours!!!

Adventure like travel made easy

If you are looking for some adventure travel without the hassles of bus depots, taxis and sorting food for the family - plan a trip with Borneo Eco Tours. Over 13 days we went from KK to the caves in Mulu National Park, Danum Valley, Tabin conservation forest, Sukau Rainforest Lodge, “Turtle Island” and back... Wildlife siting including wild Orangatangs, monkeys, birds... awesome. 

This Agency provided excellent service at very reasonable rates and allowed my family with a 16 and 14 year old to see, do and learn so much without feeling micro-managed or herded around in a big group. Our girls loved it even more than Club Med! From my initial contact and back and forth planning with Jeaner the consultant to every pick-up, transfer and guided hike, boating or truck adventure it was seamless. They work with an incredibly organized, on the ground network of drivers, guides and accommodations. Every breakfast, lunch and dinner was provided without any hassle and every person involved knew our itinerary and needs better than I did! I could sit back and relax while exploring jungles, rivers and caves with my husband and kids.

Amazing full day trip!

My wife and I couldn’t recommend this tour more. From the moment Jimmy collected us from the airport we knew we had struck gold. His English was perfect and he really cared about his country and what he was to show us. We got really lucky in that there was only one other couple on our trip, who happened to be really nice people making it that bit more fun. The Orangutan sanctuary was a real joy to experience, there is some incredible work being done there and it’s supported hugely by the local community. The sun bear experience was shorter than I expected but again really great to get the opportunity to see. The highlight for my wife was the rainforest canopy walk. What a peaceful place, somewhere we could have spent 2/3 hours in. All in all I would definitely advise this day trip, even flying over and back from KK in the same day like we did. Jimmy and Borneo Eco Tours were amazing, I couldn’t recommend them enough.

Exceptionally well organized - first class all the way

I can't say enough good things about BET. The initial inquires were responded to very quickly. all questions answered completely, in flawless English. Once we booked, the guidance document that was received was professional and informative. Once we were picked up at our hotel and met our guide were very impressed until the minute we were seen off at the airport. We did the Borneo Big 5 tour...and while at first thought it was expensive for Malaysia, after the fact we agreed it was worth every cent. What was most impressive was how well organized everything was. Not once were we left around waiting. Every boat, ride, connection, lodge, staff was expecting our arrival. Both guides (for Sukau and Borneo Rainforest Lodge) were exceptional. The lodges were great, food was excellent, staff were professional and friendly, without exception. Our expectations were surpassed in every way. If you're thinking about it...do it. I would/will book with Borneo Eco Tours again in a heartbeat.
