Such a fun experience! It was just my family and the guide, so we were able to go at our own pace. Our guide timed things so we could see feedings for the Orangatans, proboscis monkeys and the unbearable. We saw so much animal action. And our guide Jackie was awesome. Really friendly, really knowledgeable, and so good at spotting horned bills, snakes etc.
There are so many...

There are so many orangutans! My cell phone camera’s zoom didn’t take great pictures, but the in-person views were great. Bring water because it is hot! No bags are allowed to be carried because the orangutans may try to steal your stuff!
Above and beyond

Very friendly guide and driver. We were the only people on the tour, so a private tour for 2! Our guide's English was sometimes hard to understand but he was very informative and helpful. At the end of the day, during the trail through the jungle, my phone fell out of my pocket, through slats on the walkway and into the lake below. I thought it was gone for sure but our guide Jackie knows the rangers well (as he does tours most days) and 2 ranges went wading in, with one going completely under with goggles and all, for about 15 minutes until he found the phone in the muddy lake bed. Unbelievable! And he pulled it out in full working condition (I am writing this review using the same phone). Really impressed by the friendliness, willingness and generally going well above the call of duty by all concerned. Thank you. A traumatic but positive end to a wonderful day full of sights and sounds in the jungle. Highly recommended.
Right places, right times.

Faisal was an experienced, knowledgeable and outgoing guide. We were at the right places at the right times. We skipped the rainforest research center due to weather. Our choice. Monkeys were worth it, even if a bit away. Even saw an hornbill fairly close.
Fun way to see a variety...

HADI, my Tour Guide, made this day-long adventure an experience I will NEVER FORGET!!! HADI is a native of Sandakan, and has been giving this tour for 30 years! Ask him anything and everything about the orangutans, Sunbears and Proboscis monkeys, and he'll provide you with an in-depth response. Comfortable car, pleasant personality, and fluent in English. HADI is YOUR MAN!! Orangutans? Behave and move exactly like human beings! WOW! Borneo Sun Bears?? Interesting. Proboscis Monkeys??? My FAVORITE!!!! Regardless of how old the male is, his lifetime personal harem of wives and children - ALL OF THEM - follow him wherever he goes, literally! And, well, let's just say I witnessed "adult activity" taking place 2x between one male Proboscis and two different girlfriends all within 10-15 minutes. What can I say?? That's nature! :-) You WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED if you take this Tour with HADI. So, get in line and sign up. :-) Have fun!!
Great day tour of Sandakans

Hadi was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. I was worried we wouldn’t have much time and would be in for a quick picture and out again but actually we had plenty of time to explore and enjoy the experiences, we didn’t spend the day rushing from one stop to the next at all. The little bus was clean and comfortable and we were very lucky to be the only guests on the tour so had the opportunity to amend and adapt as we needed. We decided to skip the rainforest walk due to the rain and spent a bit more time with the proboscis monkeys!
Highlight of our trip !

Mr Hadi our guide and our driver were both amazing. Really friendly and nice. Helped tailored our tour according to our schedule as we had a flight back to catch- and managed to fit all activities into the one day. Mr Hadi was very experienced to know what to look and listen for whilst in the rainforest and we were lucky to be able to see all the animals listed in the tour and a few more! After this experience we would definitely like to come back and view more of the tropical wildlife here in Borneo. Has been the highlight of our trip. Thank you Mr Hadi !
A awesome special day!!

This trip was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide Hadi, knew very much about the animals and how to spot them. We were very lucky and saw the oeran outangs in as the recovery centre as in the wild a the the Rainforest discovery centre. We even saw a BorneanGibbon in the wild. It was very beautiful. Hadi our guide, wich talk good English, knew exactly when/where we should go to enjoy the views the most. We enjoyed the trip so much and we really recommend it to everyone. There are enough breaks to go to the toilet and such. And the tour is well spread across the day. We even could stay a little longer in the Rainforest discovery centre because we liked it so much. Again, we recommend this trip very much and it was a 10/10. And thnx Hadi for this amazing enjoyable day.
An Unforgettable Family Experience with an Exceptional Guide !

We spent an amazing tour with my family. Our guide was so nice. He gave us very useful information and advice to be in the right place to see the most animals. We are so grateful. This tour is very complete. You can see several animals in their natural habitat. I loved it so much. I highly recommend it.
