Hi! We are two people who wants to book the trip. We will stay at a hotell in Sepilok and wonder if it is possible to start/stop from there.

Victoria, 18 Nov 2024

Hi Victoria, Thanks for reaching out! Yes, it’s absolutely possible to start the trip from Sepilok. When you make your booking, just be sure to leave a note requesting pick-up and drop-off at your hotel in Sepilok. Let us know if you need any further assistance!

Hi there! It says the rate for the one day cruise is £63 but when I select a date the price goes to over £100. Is there any way I can have the £63 rate for next Wednesday?

Natalie , 01 Sep 2024

Hi Natalie, thanks for reaching out! We've refreshed the pricing, so please check again to see if the lower rate is now available. Just a heads-up: the activity requires a minimum of 2 participants. If this isn’t met, you can either cancel, reschedule, or choose to top up for an additional participant. Hope this clarifies!
