Borneo has stolen our hearts and it surpassed and thoroughly exceeded our expectations (more)Claire Ruby
The boat ride along the river and seeing wild orangutans was the most memorable part of the holiday.
(more)Jane Reis
Hard to just pick one memorable part, but the river cruises were really special. It was absolutely fantastic to see the wild elephants one evening, and the following early morning boat trip was completely magical. (more)Charlotte Macey
From
£2,155
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
I can't name only one!! If I really had to choose, I'd say the Borneo rainforest
lodge in Danam Valley. Stunning location, amazingly helpful and knowledgeable staff and beautifully maintained lodges. Could not fault it.
Tips?
Even in the dry season, leech socks are necessary for Tabin and Danum Valley.
Buy buy them there, not online. MUCH cheaper! This is a BUSY schedule involving very early mornings most days, as that's when you're most likely to see wildlife.... (more)Liz Carr
From
£855
excluding flights
Seeing all the wildlife was great especially for the kids -- monkeys & wild boar at Bako National Park, Semenggoh Orangutans' Center, & seeing the Irawaddy
Dolphins on the Santubong Wildlife Cruise. And the rainforest kayaking was definitely fun for the whole family. For my 14 yr old daughter, she would say that
having her half drunk can of Lychee drink stolen by a Macaque monkey at Bako was the highlight.

From

The most memorable aspect of the holiday for me was the sheer abundance and diversity of wildlife we encountered in every location we visited.
(more)Matt Green
Five stars ! (more)Heidi Gabrielsen
The jungle walk at night and the Perhentian islands was memorable. It was great. I really enjoyed it. We had an amazing guide and we were only a group of 3. Don't know how much different it would be with a bigger group. (more)Bettina Buomberger
From
£965
excluding flights
Our guide Edwin was fantastic! This was a holiday of a life time seeing the orangutans and the elephants in the wild.
(more)Toyah Baulk
Seeing an orang-utan and Pygmy elephant in the wild were the most memorable parts of the holiday.
(more)Helen Bowen
We stayed on the river until sundown and saw the most spectacular sunset (that was a real 'pinch me, is this real?!' moment), and then celebrated the day with a bottle of Merlot back at the lodge. An unforgettable day.

From
£3,150

From
£3,050
including UK flights
Memorable parts?
Luang Prabang and a day excursion to Pak Ou Caves and Kuang Si Falls
Tips?
Do not book with a travel Agent that does not send you a change of hotel booked and paid for since January and you get your final documents two weeks before you leave for the holiday to find you have been shoved into a hotel you did not know about or agree to and are then told it is too late to book anywhere else. Also if a hotel stops doing bed and breakfast and only room only ensure your... (more)Maureen Mckenna
From
£1,720

Seeing orang-utans in the wild at Kinabatangan, and in the semi-wild at Sepilok, and seeing a herd of elephants cross the river at Kinabatangan seeing Deer Cave and Clearwater Cave at Mulu.

From
MYR8,242
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
There were so many highlights. However our encounters with the local flora & fauna; orangutans, proboscis monkeys, macaque monkey, array of frogs, and
pitcher plants were amazing.
Tips?
The accomodation ranges from rustic to above average so be prepared. The rustic accommmodation could have been better maintained (a government /
national park issue rather than a Paradesa issue) to improve the overall experience. However it was in a lovely natural environment.... (more)Sandra Deans

Mr SK Law was the one who met us at Kuching Airport the day of our arrival, drove us there the day of our flight to Miri and also took us to and from Kampong Bako the day we visited the National Park, so we saw him a few times and we liked him very much. The whole trip was very well organised and we enjoyed every minute of it. We are very grateful for all your help and we will recommend "Responsible Travel " to our relatives and friends.

Tips?
Relax on the trip. Every thing promised is delivered, but some times you have to just accept there will be delays.

Yes. Local guides, hotels, restaurants and traders all gained from my spend. This supported conservationism by entrance fees, and donations to Orangutans.
Overall rating?
Really enjoyable.... (more)John Roy Dewell

We had some excellent wildlife sightings particularly of orangutans and pygmy elephants. We consider we were very lucky in what we saw. Being in Danum
Valley was special even though many of our best wildlife sightings were away from there. It's a great environment with excellent staff at the Borneo Rainforest
Lodge.

The punctuality and friendliness of all the operators was extraordinary. There was not a bad word to say about any of them. (more)Roderick Stevens
There were lots of highlights but we particularly enjoyed seeing the elephants swimming across the river and also releasing turtle hatchlings back into the sea. We also loved Abai jungle lodge. Beautiful scenery and wonderful staff. (more)Andrea Gauntlett
From
£2,199
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Seeing the orangutans and elephants in the jungle.
Tips?
Rainforest trekking can be strenuous in the heat. Would advise stout footwear and poles if at all unsteady.
Local benefits?
Certainly benefited local people and supported conservation. I worry about the number of plastic water bottles we got through and there is no infrastructure in place for recycling.
Overall rating?
Absolutely brilliant! The itinerary was was interesting and varied. The 2... (more)Steve Blake
