Dillon· September 17th, 2024This was an excellent tour touching on the culture and wildlife of Malaysian Borneo. It was made all the more special due to a very cool group of people and the efforts of our excellent tour guide Beverly. In addition to being an incredibly nice person, she is extremely knowledgeable as to the history and culture of Borneo as well as it's animals and birds. Bravo to Borneo, Intrepid, the group, and our fearless leader Beverly!Show more

- Clare· March 28th, 2023The 10 day Classic Borneo trip was everything I had hoped for. Our tour leader Stephanie Kam was superb and I saw Orangutans, proboscis monkeys, macaques, silver leaf langurs, pygmy elephants, crocodiles, and snakes. Very happy and would definitely recommend.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Clare - Thank you for leaving us a review and for sharing photos of the incredible wildlife, scenery and delicious food!

- Ashley· June 13th, 2022I booked this tour a month in advance and received a confirmation email a few days later. I sent a couple messages throughout the month to intrepid, but never received any reply. A few days before my tour I still hadn’t received any information and had to contact tour radar who told me not to worry. The day before the tour I still received no word. I called tour radar and had to spend hours on hold trying to get ahold of someone to speak with who eventually escalated the case. I was finally contacted the night before my tour by intrepid telling me I was never on this tour despite me receiving a confirmation email and being charged. I was pretty furious because I already flew to Malaysia at this point. I ended up still going to Kota Kinabalu, rented a car, and was able to replicate the tour at half the price. When you fly into the city there are others selling the exact same tours and venders you can book directly with. I’m not sure who’s fault this was that caused this mess up but be careful when booking. Even if you’re confirmed you may not actually be on the tour.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHello Ashely - Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We are so incredibly sorry about this situation and can only imagine how frustrating this must have been for you. We have reviewed over your booking and can see there was a...

- YSYee· January 16th, 2020The tour leader was very good. The itinerary was good as well however I felt like had a bit too much down time, especially at Manukan island. If you, like me, like to have a very full itinerary then you may not like this itinerary as much. But if you like an easy itinerary then this is trip for you.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewThanks so much for your feedback Yee! We're glad you enjoyed your time in Borneo and appreciate your comments around the speed of the trip - you're right in saying that some people prefer more or less on their itinerary.Trip date: December 2019
- Doris· September 24th, 2019We had an amazing tour of Sabah. Our guide was incredibly good and took his role very seriously, looking after everyone in the group and reorganising flights when there was a long delay. Great group so the holiday was perfect.
