Overview

Rather than hacking through the jungle, the best way to see Borneo’s rich wildlife is on a river cruise. On this 2-night experience, base yourself out of the Nature Lodge Kinabatangan, and enjoy four separate cruises plus night and dawn walking safaris. Expect to see macaques, proboscis monkeys, a wealth of birds, and maybe even a wild orangutan or pygmy elephant. Tour includes transfers and most meals.
  • Experience the Borneo rainforest on four river cruises and two walking safaris
  • Look for animals like proboscis monkeys—or even orangutans or pygmy elephants
  • Enjoy two nights’ chalet accommodation in the jungle with five meals
  • Relax with comfortable round-trip transfers from Sandakan airport

DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR!...
Daniel_M, Mar 2023
DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR! we booked the tour for 12th March, received confirmation and documents. But on travel date no one showed up. Operator top peak travel was not contactable. Still waiting for refund
Nice trip, bad timing
chris_d, Mar 2020
The trip consists of 2 river cruises, one in the afternoon, the other early morning, which are repeated on the second day. There is plenty of opportunity to spot the wild life and plenty of photo opportunities. The accomodation is basic, but good and the food provided is good also. Unfortunately owing to the Corona virus problems we didn't get the final cruise and had to depart a touch early. I would recommend the tour, we just chose a bad time.
Amazing experience.

Accommodation is simple, it's the jungle, the wild life and nature is what makes it special. We saw proboscis monkey, orangutan, mukak monkey, silver leaf monkey, pigmy elephants, crocodiles, birds, snakes, western tarsier, scorpions etc
ESTAFA!
oscar_r, May 2023
tras esperar en el areopuerto no nos recogió nadie. Llamamos al numero de contacto y resulto ser un RESTAURANTE. la web vende tour de una compañía que no existe, una enorme decepción de viator no me esperaba una gestión tan horrible. Ahora estoy en espera de que me devuelvan lo que me cobraron, cosa que por ahora, no ha ocurrido. lamentable
Nooit opgehaald voor de toer
Brenda_D, Apr 2023
We zijn nooit opgehaald voor de toer, na een hele ochtend te hebben gewacht. Ook hebben we geen contact gekregen met de touroperator. Viator via de app, maar nooit duidelijke acties. Zijn nu bezig met bekijken om ons geld terug te krijgen, maar ook hiervoor wprden we elke keer door gestuurd.
