Tour was nicely planned and timed, and my guide was very friendly and professional. I came as a solo traveler and felt comfortable throughout the process. The company and guide were also professional and upfront about the possible changes due to the weather.

Our main reason for taking the trip was to see the wildlife in the mangroves and on Satang island. The local boatman was excellent at spotting them in the vegetation. We saw 2 crocodiles, a couple of dolphins, the turtle nesting area, and a variety of fish. Like all wild activities it is a rustic experience and a lot is dependent on the weather and tides etc., but it is very worthwhile . The boatman was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Thanks Ooo Haa Tours

My daughter and I had an incredible experience on this tour! Boarding a small boat, we cruised to the mouth of the Salak River and were thrilled to spot the Irrawaddy dolphins, saw a crocodile and couple of monkeys along the mangroves. Our boatman then stopped near Bird Island, allowing us to observe the stunning sea birds before proceeding to Satang Island. The journey to Satang Island across the South China Sea was breathtaking. The island is home to a turtle conservation project. We were fascinated to learn about the conservation efforts for Green Turtles and their eggs that are laid on the island. Visiting the hatchery provided us with a deeper understanding of the crucial conservation work being done. We spent the remainder of our time relaxing on the island's pristine white sandy beach, kids building sandcastles and playing on the beach, as well as snorkeling in the water. Overall, this tour was a perfect blend of adventure, education, and relaxation. Highly recommended for nature lovers and anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience!

This activity is really amazing. The tour company respects the wildlife. We managed to see dolphins, crocodiles, crabs and visited Pulau pahat where all the migratory birds will visit. Afterwards, we went to Pulau Satang for snorkeling and lunch. The island is also known for its turtle conservation efforts. They are managed by Sarawak Forestry and it’s interesting to know how they help the turtles.

We took this excellent tour on 7th February 2023, tour guide Mr. Joseph was very informative , jovial and flexible. We were picked from our hotel and this tour takes around 4 to 5 hours to explore the wetland and wildlife in Sarawak. Our boat Captain Mr. Wan Amin is a very knowledgeable man, he shared a lot of information about the habitat at the wildlife. We were so lucky to see the dolphins but just for a few seconds. Captain also patiently waited for dusk to fall and showed us the crocodiles and a few reflection of some crocodiles red eyes. Probocis monkeys too were spotted in the trees. We did see fireflies as well. Overall i highly recommend this tour for those who love nature. Not forgetting to mention Mr. David and his team are very attentive and responsive to any enquiry. Highly recommend you to book with Ooh Haa Travels. Thumbs up to all of you.
