Amazing river cruise experience in the jungle. Our guide Jack was very knowledgeable and found so many different animals along the river, including all the Borneo big 5! The package included a variety of activities, all of which we really enjoyed.
Our accommodation (twin deluxe room) was really clean and comfortable, with great air conditioning. The food was good, and as a vegetarian I was well catered for (after registering my dietary requirements, staff brought me a vegetarian option for lunches and dinners).
Transport to and from the accommodation was easy and well communicated, with friendly and professional drivers.
The whole experience was really well organised and we had an amazing time. Would recommend!

We had an amazing stay! The rooms were beautifully clean and comfortable, and the staff were extremely kind and helpful. The food was also very tasty, adding to the overall great experience. During our trip, we had the chance to see around five different species of monkeys, which was an unforgettable experience. The guides were also fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to help.
Our only minor point would be the price, which is quite high. Of course, it’s up to each guest to decide if it’s worth it. However, at this price, it doesn’t seem appropriate to charge extra for Wi-Fi, especially since it’s only available in the lobby.
Highly recommended overall!

We enjoyed this 3d/2n stay at Borneo Natural Sukau Bilit. It definitely felt like a great value for what we paid. The lodge is well organized and has a developed program for your stay, though it did feel like a bit of a machine processing you and it could have been more personal and welcoming. The river cruises were well done - they are really focused on spotting the Borneo Big Five, as other reviewers note, but try to ignore that and just enjoy whatever you see. The lodge is right along the river and the private room was large enough for two. Food was adequate and served by buffet - we especially appreciate that they had some tofu and vegetables set aside at each meal for vegetarians, though that wasn't clearly communicated. Flexible pickup and dropoff locations included Sepilok (so we could stay there the night before and just walk to the orang and sunbear sanctuaries before the 1245pm pickup).

Nous avons vécu un séjour inoubliable à Borneo Natural Sukau Bilit Resort. Les petits chalets sont superbes, les activités et notamment les croisières sont géniales, la nourriture est excellente, le personnel adorable, le rapport qualité-prix imbattable au vu du service proposé. Allez-y les yeux fermés!! C’est magique ✨🩷

Really helpful from start to finish and a fantastic tour!
Dinaa answered all the many questions we had as we had such a specific, short timeframe. The tour itself was really smooth and great time was had. Would definitely recommend to book through Seek Sophie.

Khair, my tour guide was amazing, I highly recommend him and the services of Tropical Adventure Tours and Travel.
He was so passionate about the local wildlife and was great at pointing out creatures and cave symbols to me, sharing niche local knowledge which made my experience so special.
He was always punctual, highly knowledgeable and approachable, kind, highly passionate about his job as an eco-tourism guide and he always respected me and made me feel very safe as a female solo traveller.
I visited Mulu and it was my first ever time solo travelling. At first, I was concerned that I was allocated a male tour guide as a female alone on the tour where we would be without reception or phone battery at some points, yet Khair became a very good friend and a highly respectful guide who always steered clear of ever over stepping my boundaries. He cooked amazing food for me and put my care and safety first.

Our guide Bruno was great, intelligent, passionate and fun, he made sure we all had a great time and saw as much as possible. Never rushed us and was able to answer all our questions. Accommodation was lovely, clean and comfortable.
