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
Most memorable? Definitely climbing Mount Kinabalu. But very closely followed by the wildlife from orangutans, wild elephants to the sea turtles... Excellent... You should definitely book on this trip! (more)Kirsty Howland

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.

The holiday far surpassed my expectations- and this was made so special by Sheila (our leader)’s passion and commitment to her “work”. (more)Eleri Roberts
Probably seeing orang-utans in the wild and up very close at Sepilok rehabilitation centre but the whole trip was both memorable and exciting! (more)Linda Beviss

Ramadan had a negative impact on this tour. Many key restaurants that our guide was to takes us to were closed. (more)Carm Loffredo
Best bit: The canopy walk in the jungle. (more)Nanette Cribbes
The most memorable part of my holiday is the night safari in Taman Negara and the snorkelling trip on the Perhentians. (more)Marleen den Hartog
From
£2,379
including UK flights
Memorable parts?
Seeing the orang-utans, especially in wild when taking the morning river cruise. Second best was the foodie tour of Kual Lumpur.
Tips?
Relax on the trip. Every thing promised is delivered, but some times you have to just accept there will be delays.
Local benefits?
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

Seeing the baby turtles being released into the sea. (more)Judy Saxon
The most memorable part of the holiday was scrambling to the top of Kinabalu mountain and trying to get a photo taken at the top with over 100 other people. (more)Ron Price
Climbing Mt Kinabalu. Staying in the jungle. Seeing local, unique wildlife were the most memorable parts of the holiday (more)Penny Earle
From

Memorable parts?
I love Cameron Highlands and the trekking experience
Tips?
Do some research on the places to visit.
When packing, take outfit and shoes for a night out at bars and clubs but also pack some warm clothes and a light waterproof jacket
Avoid street food and tap water as you may end up with a bad stomach. This include avoiding fresh fruit and salad that have been washed with tap water. Carry some tablets for loose stool

There are two: seeing a grown male orang utan in the wild, and watching the sun rise from the summit of Mount Kinabalu...fantastic, a real once in a lifetime experience (more)Hannah howard
The first week wasn't really a holiday it was just a hard slog. The 2nd week was great though and the guide Manuel was amazing, he made the holiday as fantastic as it was. (more)caroline stone
This was the first time that I had been on a group holiday and I was very impressed with the Guide, the organisation and the structure of activities during the trip. (more)Deborah McWhinney
From
£2,450
including UK flights
Memorable parts?
We had some amazing experiences. The most memorable part of the holiday was snorkelling and trying scuba diving in the Perenthian Islands off the East coast of Malaysia. Beautiful scenery, welcoming people and a real chance to recharge the batteries and relax!
Tips?
This tour is rather 'over guided'. We felt a bit limited and restricted by the tight timetable. Not quite what we expected.
Local benefits?
Rather disappointing - our rep was Australian, not... (more)Kate Hemming

Memorable parts?
Too many highs to pick just one. Releasing the Turtles at Telok Sarabang, rafting on bamboo rafts, all the people I've met, the Jungle; a scary and extremely challenging place but is magical!

Ale sure you are fit, the trekking is hard!
Local benefits?
Yes it did, we stay with the local community
Overall rating?
Amazing and exhausting (more)Julia Nash
From

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
