Looking for the quickest way to experience Borneo’s wildlife? Hop on this 2D1N adventure packed with fun-filled excursions and the best of Borneo’s flora and fauna! Look forward to spotting elusive creatures on cruises along the Kinabatangan River, which is known for being the longest river in Sabah at 560km and for the incredible number of species that live on its river banks. On the two cruises, pick up wildlife titbits from the resort’s highly experienced guides, who will be more than happy to share their knowledge about the different animals that you will see on each trip – you can expect proboscis monkeys, silver langurs, Oriental darters, orangutans, and even herds of pygmy elephants amongst the sightings! Off the river, follow the guides on a night trek through the jungle to meet its fascinating nocturnal mammals and experience the beauty of Borneo’s nature on foot. When you’re ready to take a breather after these exciting explorations, relax at the resort where the friendly team will tend to your every need, and enjoy hearty meals while basking in splendid views of the Kinabatangan River.

Don't come during rainy season. Hardly any animals and boat trips could be cancelled. Don't get 2D1N. It's too rush and you won't have time to enjoy the beautiful hotel room. You arrive mid afternoon and leave early morning, plus 5-6 hours of sightseeing activities. Food is...... Just okay.

Everything was fantastic where Fred told me not to worry that a designated person will be picking me up at Sepilok. On the dot, a van with Borneo Natural Sukau Bilit Resort stenciled on the side, drove up the entrance area and I was greeted by Abang Ramlee and it was the start of my wonderful weekend of seeing elephants, monkeys, birds, oolala! There weren't many people at the resort itself, myself party of one, a group of 4 friendly youths and a big group of a family. The place is clean and spacious, rooms are clean, bed is comfortable, a/c and hot shower and clean towels are provided. My boatman was Aloy who made sure we were in safe hands. He was shared his knowledge about the forest and the river around us. I had a great stay and definitely would return again! And yes, they speak good English!

Drive to lodge very unpleasant due quality of driving. Drive on return was more comfortable. Electricity failure plagued the evening and resulted in lodge changes which proved irritating. River cruises were pleasant though very little seen but boat captain was excellent. Generally a very rushed and short stay which was definitely not value for money. Staff were friendly and professional.

The only negative thing I can say is in the morning River trip, we should’ve gotten an option to go try and view crocodiles or try and find the orangutans before we got in the boat. Half the people in the boat wanted to go one way and half the other so it would’ve been better to please everyone and go in different boats. The staff are fantastic and the food was excellent and good variety.

Friendly and helpful staff; Aloy is a seasoned and knowledgable guide - he has a wealth of info on the many bird species that we encountered, as well as the primates and vegetation. The chalet was comfortable - although it does get very hot in the afternoon even with the aircon blasting, so I highly recommend taking to the hammocks above the restaurant to chill in the afternoons. Lovely river deck.
