Review Body: The guide, Mr. Foo, provided excellent service and ensure we had an enjoyable trip. He communicated fluently in both Mandarin and English and shared many interesting facts about the local wildlife and natural environment. Before the tour began, he thoughtfully reminded us to bring sunscreen and mosquito repellent, which was greatly appreciated. Captain Amin was highly experienced and very familiar with the area. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to spot numerous Irrawaddy dolphins, crocodile, and proboscis monkeys during the tour. The boat ride was smooth and enjoyable, and we felt comfortable and safe throughout the journey. The captain always emphasized safety and reminded us to be cautious, demonstrating that he put the well-being of his passengers as his top priority.

Review Body: Our guide Saini was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions as well as giving us information on the area and Sarawak in general. The boat captain was eagle eyed and slowed the boat and showed us a crocodile in the mangroves that took us a while to see. We saw a lot of dolphin activity around the fishing boats with the captain manoeuvring the boat to ensure that we were able to see them. No proboscis monkeys but Saini gave a lot of information about their habits, activities and where they may go. Was a great morning and a bonus lunch to sit and eat while dolphin watching. The scenery was pretty spectacular to look at also.

Review Body: I just did the Bako tour in May 2026 and it was one of the best days of my life!!! Dan, the guide at the park was excellent and shared tons of information with us / replied to all questions and even made suggestions about other places in Borneo to visit and enjoy wildlife. We were extremely lucky (and extremely thankful to Dan) and we got to see Flying lemurs, langur, proboscis monkeys, wild pigs and even a green viper!!! I could not recommend this tour enough!!! Communication, transportation and food were great too!!

Review Body: The boat tour was great, the guide and boat driver did everything they could to ensure that we got every opportunity to see the animals we wanted to see. Unfortunately animals do not always follow the same paths and don't set an alarm to be at a certain spot at a certain time. We were able to spot lots of dolphins, a crocodile, and we saw some proboscis monkeys further back in the mangroves.

Review Body: Very nice half day river tour. We saw two nice sized crocodiles on land in the mangroves and tons of Irrawaddy dolphins. By chance, we were the only two that booked the tour for the day so it was a nice surprise having the boat to ourselves. Everything went smoothly from pickup to drop off. Highly recommend.

Review Body: Sightings are not guaranteed, but we were lucky enough to have witnessed proboscis monkeys, crocodiles and Irrawaddy dolphins. The host was responsive. The guide and the boatman were both knowledgeable and attentive. Would recommend it to anyone who is seeking a tour with ethical approach to the nature.

Review Body: We got to see the probiscus monkeys in the jungle. There were two males we got to watch for quite a while. We also saw the dolphins we hoped to see. However, we didn't get great photos since they ate super fast. The guide had some good shots he shared with us.

Review Body: We recently had the honour of visiting the Batang Ai Iban Longhouse with the amazing guide Mas. Our trip was truly memorable. Mas was so friendly, helpful and generous, and shared so much local knowledge with us. On the way we stopped at the semenggoh nature reserve to see orangutans, visited local markets and ate delicious food. Then our time at the longhouse was really special, truly immersed in the local way of life. Sometimes these things can feel like tourist traps but this was not the case, it felt really genuine. The families were so kind and generous with their time, they cooked us amazing food and showed us their way of life, including a walk in the jungle to see rubber plants and many native foods. Tips for others would be to bring plenty of cash, for the market stalls along the way and for the beautiful handmade jewellery that some of the women in the longhouse make. And bring long pants or insect repellent for the jungle walk 😊 This trip is something we will be talking about for a long time and I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone wanting a unique experience!
