Very knowledgeable guides. Most of them were born in the immediate area and are related to local tribespeople. Would highly recommend. Very well organised
Carole Jones
We recently joined a private Klias River tour while traveling in Sabah with our family, including young children under 6 years old, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip.
A special thank you to Mr Del, our guide, for his outstanding professionalism. He was incredibly helpful, attentive, and patient with our children throughout the journey. His knowledge of Sabah’s flora and fauna was impressive, and he shared many interesting facts that made the experience both educational and enjoyable. He also kindly helped us prepare some necessities before the trip, which made traveling with young kids much easier and stress free.
The tour itself was truly unique. We were very lucky to see many proboscis monkeys in their natural habitat, and the firefly experience at night was magical, watching them light up the trees in the wild was something our whole family will never forget.
Thank you to the team for such a memorable experience. I highly recommend booking this tour, especially the private option for families, if you want the best chance to see proboscis monkeys and fireflies in the wild.

I found it to be not only a special experience, but also a special place, as you are so close to the river and away from civilization. The cabins are extremely modern and stylishly furnished, and the food was the best I had in Malaysia (they even always prepared a vegetarian alternative for me, which I found very thoughtful)! Our guide was very knowledgeable, punctual, and not only shared a wealth of information with us, but also spotted many animals right away. The schedule is very tight, so there isn't much time between activities, but I didn't mind that. I enjoyed both the different boat trips and walks and would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the big 5 of Borneo in a natural environment. We saw all 5 – some of them several times.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay and can recommed this beautiful place to anyone looking for a memorable experience. Everything was clean and well-organized, the excursions were amazing and we saw all Borneo big 5. 🥰The staff was amazing, food delicious and fresh and everyone were exceptionally friendly. 💛 Kisses from Croatia
Antonia
Great vibe, luxurious stay.
I would say for a 3 day trip, 3 boat trips is minimal. I wouldve loved to have done more boat trips. For example a 2nd morning cruise can easily be done without having to pay extra for it considering the price of the whole thing.

Wir hatten eine private Tour.
Wir konnten individuell das machen , was wir mochten. Sie zeigten uns alle Skills mit dem SUB und waren beide positiv verrückt. Hat Spaß gemacht. Während der SUP Tour ist auch Schnorcheln und schwimmen möglich. Es gibt da keine wirkliche Zeitbegrenzung. Duschen sowie Umkleiden sind auch Vorort.
Lohnt sich, wir empfehlen es weiter.

Nicely equipped lodge on the beautiful river. Enjoyed the baked beans for breakfast, and night walk
