Great trip saw lots of amazing wildlife and the accommodation and food were great. Special shoutout to Bruno at Greenview lodge he was fantastic and so knowledgeable.
Rory Anderson
Well organised trip with excellent guide
Eilish Quinlan
Fantastic! Highly recommend. Our guide Bruno and driver Sam were knowledgeable and friendly. Deramakot and Kinabatangan both fantastic. Agree with website that only book Deramakot if you are OK with more basic rooms (has aircon), bumpy roads and long drives. Would book again and spend more time.
Emily
We had an amazing time on our 3D2N tour. Airport pick-up was prompt & comfortable, it took around 2.5 hours. The accommodation was stunning and exceeded expectations - lovely air conditioned & clean room, surrounded by rainforest. Sound-proofing with next door & outside wasn’t amazing but that was minor! The food was great and wifi was good in the communal area. The tour & activities themselves were awesome - jam-packed days and lots of opportunities to see wildlife. We had the privilege of seeing 4 out of the 5 Borneo Big 5 (only one we missed was crocs!), as well as lots of amazing birds, frogs, snakes and cool insects. Would highly recommend for a well-rounded experience of Borneo’s wildlife & rainforest :)
Kate
The river cruise was excellent and our tour guide Ivy was really good at spotting the wildlife. It was great that she was our guide for all the river cruises. It was well organised and we had set times for the activities.
Tara Fox
We had an amazing time, just note seeing elephants is only available if you stay 2n3d and it's an extra cost. We missed out as we were only doing 1 night but apart from that we really enjoyed ourselves and all the staff were lovely. Thanks so much for a memorable experience.
Kim
That was soooo amazing! We saw every animal from my bucket list! The guide was very friendly and the service was great :) I wanted to book really spontaneously so on the website it wasn't possible for the next day to book. I used the website here to contact the company and asked if it is possible to join a group anyways and they made it possible!!! 10/10
