Wish we stayed longer - Absolutely amazing - tour guide Jackie and driver Captain were excellent throughout the day. Lots of insight on the animals were given between locations and we were able to stop along the way to purchase extra food/drinks as required. We always had the best photo opportunities thanks to Jackie. Orang-utans were short and sweet. We watched the young and more independent feed and play. Proboscis monkeys were engaging to watch feed and learn about their social dynamics. Sunbears were adorable, would love to have taken one home. I cannot believe how they came running for honey! Rainforest discovery centre was something we doubted, but had the most picturesque canopy walk with elevated platforms up to 27 metres above ground, to look out amongst the tree tops for orang-utans, raptors and other wild life. We did a day trip from Kota Kinabalu but wish we had stayed a few more nights to see the elephants, night tour of the rainforest discovery centre (some animals are nocturnal) and world war 2 memorial!

Great Day Tour to See Orangutans, Proboscis Monkeys, Sun Bears and beautiful rainforest - Flew across for the day from KK and had an amazing day! Our guide, Jackie, was excellent. Very knowledgeable and managed to get us great views of all the animals and sights. Lot to pack into a day but would recommend to people who don’t have a lot of time. Also the company was very accommodating as had some last minute flight changes which they were able to adapt for us which was awesome. Highly recommend

A fantastic tour, highly recommended - A fantastic day. We went for a private day tour so could specify what we wanted, be flexible, and do all the major sights in one (long) day trip from Kota Kinabalu. Smooth communication in advance, and hassle-free pick-up from Sandakan airport. We had a knowledgable guide who provided lots of information and practical tips at each site. We did Sepilok orang utan sanctuary, the sun bear sanctuary, the proboscis monkey sanctuary and the Rainforest discovery centre all on one day. I would thoroughly recommend.

Best day in Borneo - This was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had in my life! As a solo traveller I felt very welcomed and comfortable on this tour. All staff were so lovely! I got to see so much and was very lucky to see all of the animals even an orangutan up close which is not guaranteed as they are wild animals. The timings were great for each place and I had plenty of time to enjoy every part of it! Jackie was incredibly informative and as a person with a degree in animal management and zoology I can see he really knows what he was talking about! Even I learnt new things about each of the species I didn’t know before! Not only did he teach me about the animals but about Borneo as a whole! He even helped take photos of me whenever I wanted to make the trip just that much more special! Pick up and drop off was included which made it stress free meaning I could spend my time enjoying the whole experience. I really enjoyed my time and would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Borneo!
