One-Of-A-Kind Experience
This was a truly memorable trip. All the unique and interesting animals that we saw - a remarkable experience. The guides were friendly and skilled at their work and opened our eyes to the diversity of the natural world. I think everyone needs to have an adventure like this at least once.
Fantastic eco wildlife tour
8 day wildlife tour from sepilok to sukau to danum valley. Loved every minute. Excellent friendly knowledgeable guides. Gil, Vincent and Jad were our guides and all wonderful. Great food and accommodation. Saw amazing wildlife in beautiful locations. Definitely recommend. Our kids were 5, 8 and 9yo at time and loved it.
Amazing trip with this company
Well organised, quick to respond, reliable pick ups, all very friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and great wildlife spotters on drives.
BOOK IT!!!
We just got back from a 3D2N Kinabatangan Wildlife Safari and WOW!!! It was such an amazing experience. We were lucky enough to see all of the Borneo Big 5. Our guide Vincent was absolutely incredible - so so knowledgeable and friendly. He made the experience for us. The Sukau Rainforest Lodge was next level, the villa was beautiful with a view of the jungle where we saw proboscis monkeys from! The conscious effort of the tour to minimise its impact on the environment is quite special too :)
Amazing company, awesome experiences
My wife and I have have just returned from an 8 day tour on the river and to Danum valley with these guys and hands down this was an awesome experience. They were super professional and friendly and the two resorts at Sakau on the river and the nature lodge in Danum Valley were just stunning. Highly recommended
Fabulous Borneo Rainforest Tour
The location was just perfect. Down the Kinabatangan River deep in the Borneo Rainforest, where we had gone to spot wildlife. The Borneo Eco Tour staff were amongst the best we have come across. They were knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and so well organised. All the details of the trip, especially the transfers (and there were a few in our itinerary) were seamless.
Borneo Eco Tours
Borneo Ecotours have made our trip in Sabah, Borneo, an absolute pleasure. There scheduled arrangements were always on time, spot on, to our liking, and very enjoyable. The suggested and arranged accommodations were all excellent. Big thanX to Maxwell and everyone that helped us.
The most Eco friendly tour company in Sabah.
This tour company was so impressive and I had the best honeymoon ever! We got incredibly lucky with wildlife sightings and the weather, which I feel would make a huge difference. From pickup to drop off the guides we’re always aware of our itinerary and kept us informed the entire time. They would brief us in the morning so we always knew what to expect from the day. Our guide Kazee was so brilliant and his local knowledge impeccable. We did have another guide after two nights who wasn’t as knowledgeable and his English nowhere near as good as Kazees. All the guides we met however were so kind and friendly. We booked the 3N/4 day tour and I wish we stayed longer! We went on every boat ride and experience they offered :) We got the big 5 and saw something different every trip :) I was impressed when we found elephants and all the tour boats were there that everyone stayed a distance away and was quiet. However at one point the elephant group were on opposite sides of the river and clearly trying to cross but there were about 24 tour boats going up and down. It wasn’t until the elephant entered the water that the boats stopped and parted for them however they were way too close which was sad to me. Our guide seemed concerned but the other companies didn’t so I don’t think the other companies are as educated on wildlife welfare so please do your research! I also heard that during the night tour they shone torches in all the animals eyes. :( It is a good thing that tourism increases to Borneo as it increases revenue for Sabah and results in the government investing more in protecting the forests. However the pressure from tourism on the wildlife will need to be monitored. Other things to note: Sandakan and the Kinabantang river are Secondary Forests The Sukau Rainforest Resort has very expensive drinks so take your own. There is lots and lots of buffet food for breakfast lunch and dinner but no snacks to purchase (not that you will need them) Go to the orangutan talk Take two cans of mossie repelant and long loose clothing Go on the boardwalk tour DM me on insta for some tips @ecokhay
Absolutely excellent tour
The whole trip was truly amazing. We had a wonderful, charming, knowledgeable guide « Yaya ». An eagle-eyed expert. He didn’t miss any opportunity for even the shortest glimpse of the wonders of the wild. From turtle laying and hatching at Selingan to the river flora and fauna of the Kinabatangan via the Sepilok orangutan and sun bear reserves. Marvellous.
Fantastic animal viewing experience in a luxurious rainforest setting
We travelled as a family (2 adults, 2 children) and had booked the 3N/4D experience with one night at the Selingan turtle island and two nights at the Sukau Rainforest lodge. The overall experience was excellent. Timing was kept, everything went smoothly and the quality of the overall programme was well worth the long trip and the money. In particular we would like to emphasise the qualities of our tour guide Raman. He was a very knowledgeable animal expert, who ensured the best sightings throughout the trip. Thanks to him, we saw the big 5 in less than 24 hours. Furthermore, he was very friendly with a good sense of humour. The Sukau Rainforest Lodge was also an excellent site with all comfort provided and tasty food. The whole family loved the experience.
