One of the best things we have done whilst travelling! We are so glad we were able to fit this into our short Borneo trip as it was amazing! We managed to see 4 out of the big 5, only missing the crocodiles. Definitely recommend renting binoculars from the hotel for rm50! The accommodation is good for a short stay, but the dorm beds are quite close together. Staff were amazing from pick up to drop off, and very knowledgeable about the animals we saw! Although we didn’t see much wildlife on the night cruise I am still glad it was part of this trip, as many trips leave you with nothing to do at night, which was not the case here! Only negatives are that dinner can run out quite quickly, and there was a miscommunication with regards to drop off, but we did end up in the right drop off at the end, and neither of these took away from the overall experience! Absolutely amazing!

Would ALWAYS recommend. We saw the big 5 on our first river cruise - we were very blessed! But you can tell the team at Sukau really love their job. They're all really enthusiastic and passionate about it all and are genuinely lovely to be around. The accommodation was great and we were really thankful for the AC. Food was also quite good and it was a lovely added bonus that we could buy soft drinks and ice creams if we wanted. Would definitely recommend to all my friends visiting!
