- AMichelle· November 22nd, 2023Sepilok seeing orangutan’s up close and we were also lucky enough to see them on trips from Bilit and Tabinin the wild. We also saw proboscis monkeys, macaques and a gibbon in the wild as well as a range of birds and other mammals. The Sun Bear rescue centre was a good addition. The palm oil production was also very interesting given it is a useful product if done right and the need for balance with nature. It was great to finish at Tabin withShow moreTrip date: November 2023Review collected by Explore!
- EElsa· September 14th, 2023Fantastic trip. Busy but amazing. Not a minute lost. Incredible wildlife. While we didn't get to see orangutans in the wild, we saw pigmy elephants, proboscis monkeys, gibbons, macaques, red giant flying squirrel, different types of kingfishers, and other rare wildlife. Tried different fruits, some great, others, not so much. The rainforests were... rainy, no disappointment there. Hazli, our tour leader was great, answered all the questions and provided opportunities to see and experience the culture of Borneo. Would like to return!Show moreTrip date: September 2023
