Fantastic experience, unforgettable. It surpassed all expectations. (more)Lois Froud

Most memorable was getting close to the wildlife - particularly the Orangutans, but the brief encounter with a Black Handed Agile Gibbon was very special... Very, very good. (more)Michael Helliwell

The guides were excellent and very flexible, willing to change schedules if possible to suit our needs, the transport always turned up exactly on time, the accommodation was exactly as described and the places visited were all breathtaking in their beauty and animal and plant life.

Brilliant - a wonderful experience (more)Brenda Strangleman

Most memorable? Diving with a dozen turtles off the coast of Sipadan and visiting the local villagers of Mabul. And then of course to see wild Orangutans in their natural environment. (more)Christina Savage

Fantastic - the wildlife was amazing; watching elephants bathing in the river, snorkelling with turtles, scuba diving with sharks (small ones thankfully!), and the odd orangtan and probocis monkey! The people were extremely friendly and proud of their country. (more)Anna Davies

If we had to name a specific high I think it'd have to be the private river cruises that we went on from the Abai Jungle Lodge. They were each so magical, romantic and different - I can't describe how wonderful they made us feel. But in truth the trip was packed with moments like this - hearing a turtle breath, seeing pygmy elephants up close and wild!! (more)Rob Skinner

There were many memorable moments. Too few to fully list out! One destination was the Gomantong Birdnest Caves. The main cave tests all your senses. Certainly a location for the next Indiana Jones film, not for flip-flop wearing tourists! (more)Jonathan Reed-Lethbridge

It was a fantastic holiday. Byron, our guide, made sure that everything ran smoothly. We saw some wonderful wildlife, not just the orangutans but also many birds, pigmy elephants, proboscis monkeys, and many others. (more)Gillian Slater

The various methods of travel through Borneo really gave you a sense of travelling like locals and getting the maximum "real life" experience... The best travel experience I have had so far! (more)Michelle Blois

Fantastic trip. Ngala safari lodge & game drives were wonderful! (more)Rachael Hardman Rigby

Staying with the local tribe in the jungle was the most memorable part of the holiday...10 out of 10. (more)Jennifer Beard

The most memorable part of the holiday was seeing so many orangutans and having such a knowledgeable and fantastic guide (Ashley Leiman). (more)Martha Bell

Really brilliant - it was our honeymoon and we really had a fabulous time. It was so well organised by the operator which took a lot of the stress out of travelling which was exactly what we needed with such a complicated itinerary. The hotels we stayed in were second to none - really fabulous and we were spoilt rotten! (more)Erin Bunting

Unbelievable, fantastic, amazing etc. EVERY day was perfect. It was our honeymoon and so many little touches and extra effort was made for us. It really was magical. Thank you. (more)Ross Smith

Excellent! It was organised really well and our guide, Chris, was wonderful... I cannot isolate just one memorable or exciting part of the holiday - every day my husband and I experienced something amazing!... We will never forget any of it. (more)Louise Romanis

Observing the Orangutans, a mind blowing experience. I have watched multiple DVD's and read many books on primates, but never did I anticipate such a surreal connection with these amazing ancestors of ours. (more)Sherryn Page

Most memorable was helping to catch a Crocodile, and a 13 foot long python that had eaten a monkey.... Definitely not your average holiday, which is nice... (more)John Broome

The climax of the holiday definitely was the final ascent of Mount Kinabalu, arriving at the summit at sunrise. Amazing feeling of being on top of the world - very beautiful and physically challenging. (more)Honor Cann

In Borneo we met and travelled with like minded families and individuals, who along with good humoured guides added enormously to the pleasure of the trip. It was excellent and would thoroughly recommend for those who are adventurous, like variety and don't mind a bit of roughing. (more)Michael Mosley
