I was expecting a smaller, slower boat, not speedboats as depicted in the tour promotion. Did not see many animals… mostly monkeys… few proboscus at distance. People at lodge were very gracious. We were on a day trip that included Sepilok. The drive to the river and lodge was 2 hrs over very bumpy paved road…4 hrs round trip. We were not aware of that when we booked. Would be OK if on the 3 day excursion where you stay the night. Do not recommend for day trip.

We had a fantastic day trip with Marty today. He was so knowledgeable and informative. Delivered with a passion for his region. Food was excellent also.

The guide was amazing. So friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about Sabah, the wildlife, the history and culture. The lodge facilities were ideal, staff were lovely and a great time was had by all.
