The person operating the drone did it again and again, whilst laughing. The staff did nothing. On a different ...

The hotel to be honest needs a little updating, but the positives far outway the only minor negative point. The staff throughout were outstanding ...

The boat trips are like a live cinema of Kinabatangan wildlife. In our two-nights stay, we saw pygmy elephants, crocodiles, proboscis monkeys, snakes, plenty of beautiful birds, and one Orang Utan building the nest for the night. Walking in the jungle is an amazing experience but such open view of ...

Amazing experience. The boat safaris and walks were all expertly guided. We did 5 nights in total across 2 lodges and saw loads including 7 separate orangutan sightings. Whilst the trip cost a substantial amount of money I thought it was well worth it for a really unique experience.
