    We were really looking forward to this trip , and it didn’t disappoint. From start to finish we had the best time . The orangutans were amazing as well as everything else we saw . Our guide Sevi was so knowledgeable, we enjoyed talking with him. Our guide on the river tour was Leo and again, a lovely guy, friendly and knowledgeable too. Overall we are pleased we did the trips .. Deb and Brett

    Overall it was well organised, guides were great. Accommodation and food were average. Not much to do during daytime, between wildlife cruises.

    the local operator was great. what was advertised on tour radar was inaccurate though about the details of the tour. we were supposed to visit a cave that has been closed for several years. i wish that the website had up to date information and that the itinerary that was prepared for us was accurate.

    The next best offering would be a jungle trek with a small group to see Orangurans in the wild - I would pay a premium for this as would all my extreme traveling friends.

    Elod was an amazing guide who was clearly focussed on making our time in Borneo the best adventure experience. Insightful, knowledgeable and attentive, Elod made the experience all the more better. We had an excellent time and made memories that lasted a lifetime. The Sepilok lodge was basic accommodation in need of an upgrade. The Bilit Adventure Lodge was much better with staff who were friendly and helpful. Overall a fantastic trip. Thank you

    The tour was great, very well organised, full of adventure and saw lots of things. Only thing is I think if it was organised by myself it would have cost a fraction of what the actual cost was however we used up some travel credits so we cannot complain as we were very well looked after.

    Great wildlife to see, friendly staff in the lodges, plentiful food, rustic but nice accommodation, knowledgeable guides but a little expensive for what's included as there's a lot of free time.
