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.

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

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.

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

Lodge.
