My tour guide zali made me feel very safe and welcome from the get go. He knew a lot of information about the animals and told me the best spots to view the animals. Zali gave me some information about the history behind the buddist temple and explained all the foods in the sandakan market. Overall a very enjoyable day out.
We had a fantastic day on this tour, seeing so many of the Borneo big 5! Our tour guide was fantastic, very knowledgable and a lovely man. We ended up having a private tour as were the only ones booked on! Great was to do all the wildlife parks in one day. Danny & Amy
Saw lots of really cool wildlife. Our guide was very informative. The oragutan bit was a bit disappointing as would've liked to seen more of the rehabilitation centre and seen more of the work they do there. But the monkeys and Sunbears were great. A lot if driving around.
Excellent overview of what Sandakan has to offer. Great guide and driver. Eight hours well spent with plenty of variety.
the tour was awesome! we spent the day with our guide and driver Ivy, a very cheerful, nice and funny girl who made the day very fun. we did a lot of activities, the ones detailed in the itinerary, however Ivy was flexible and took into account one of our requests! we went to a local restaurant for lunch and he recommended us what to eat, he also taught us words in the official Malaysian language. we highly recommend the activity!!
Can’t comment on the trip as they didn’t even bother picking us up at the airport. No correspondence received either way, none of the contact numbers were answered so were left stranded in Sandarken. I’m now awaiting a refund if I ever get a response.! I’ve sent 2 lots of queries and not one answered yet but they’re very quick to take your money. Avoid at all cost
The place is quite nice, You can see Proboscis monkeys and others, like silver lipped, and other animals like birds in and outside the park area. Not very crowded when we were there. It's worth the visit.
Absolutely awesome day ..... the Orangutan's, Proboscis Monkey, Silver Leaf Monkey, Snakes, Butterflies etc etc just amazing. We actually ended up having to pay for extra for a Private Tour as when we booked it turned out the the Bus was FULL ..... and I have to say I'm glad we had the Private Tour, Tofan was an excellent Tour Guide, very knowledgeable, spoke very good English and didn't mind us going over the allotted time. I highly recommend this Wildlife Tour ..... its EXCITING, and you see animals you'll not see anywhere else (and up close). Very memorable.
This is an experience that is more exciting than the Orangutan Sanctuary in Sepilok. You have a closest contact to the Proboscis monkeys families while being fed. If you are lucky enough, as I was, you may have encounters with Hornbill birds around.
We rented a private driver since there is problem with transportation Mr. Azrien, he was nice, knowledgeable and helpful f.e. he assisted us with arranging the day and recommended was else to visit. We recommend him highly. Watching animal in reserve is quite astonishing and there is no comparing it to watching animals in zoo. If you are lucky you might see other species of monkeys as well.
