The guide was amazing. So friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about Sabah, the wildlife, the history and culture. The lodge facilities were ideal, staff were lovely and a great time was had by all.

We were 5 friends who visiting Borneo and had booked the day long tour. Our driver and guide picked us up at 8 am from our accommodation in Sandakan. The first stop was the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre followed by the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre. We were then taken for lunch at the Sepilok Lodge Restaurant and then a 2 hour drive to the Kinabatangan River Nature Lodge. We had tea and snacks and then embarked on a 2 hour river cruise to see Proboscis Monkeys from 4 - 6 pm. We were then brought back to the River Lodge for Dinner and then a 3 hour drive back to Sandakan reaching at 11 pm. We had great weather and our Guide and driver were exceptional. If you are game for a day trip albeit slightly hectic , please do sign in . This is worth the memories

The guide who collected us and gave the tour around Orangutans etc was so informative and friendly. Likewise the young river guide went out of his way for us to experience as many of Borneo's wildlife as possible in 2 days. Amazing hospitality, great food and good aircon room
