Smooth pickup, long drive, good boat cruise with knowledgable and friendly guide. Simple but quite tasty dinner included on the way back to my hotel. Could be longer than 2 hours for the price and how long transport is.
One day trip

The driver, Mr Angus, picks you up from the desired destination, in our case it was Sandakan hotel. He was very friendly and nice person. We drove for around 2 hours and had good conversations. Then we had really great experience with Mr Aji who took us on a long cruise around the river. We saw elephants, monkeys,crocodiles and different species of hornbills. I would recommend this experience to everyone. 10/10

I contacted Abdul Qayyam after seeing reviews on trip advisor. I was not disappointed. I explained to Abdul that a small group of us wanted to go to the Kinabatangan river in search of the 'big 5'. Abdul was most helpful in arranging this for us. He picked us up from our hotel (Jungle Resort) in Sepilok and drove us to the Kinabatangan River to start our cruise. The guide that Abdul used for the river tour was fantastic. He was able to spot so much wildlife - different monkeys, orangutan, crocodiles, rhinoceros hornbill, kingfisher etc. We had a fab time. After the tour Abdul then drove us back to another hotel we were stopping at. Abdul is a very polite, reliable, trustworthy person. He did a great job arranging this trip for us and making it one we will remember. I highly recommend him. His contact whatsapp number is +60 11-1669 5114.

A fantastic experience. A professional and close guide at the same time, took us to see all the fauna of the river, we enjoyed a walk almost alone away from the organized groups of the lodges. Very prudent on the road trip and very good place for dinner

The sighting of animals is not obvious except for the many monkeys but we were lucky and with a little patience we could see small medium and large crocodiles as well as birds. Chris was a pleasant guide, informed and attentive to our needs.
Worth every penny

2 hour car ride from sandakan. Driver was very nice. Took a tiny fisherman style boat out in the river. Saw elephants and monkeys. Had a traditional dinner at a local restaurant in the way back. Awesome time! Wear a hat, sunscreen and a long sleeve sn shirt if you have one. Bring water too! It’s hot out there!
Very good experience,...

For this activity and many others in the sector, we recommend the services of Azrien Alimuddin , mail: [email protected]. She is a pleasant, efficient and honest person. He organized for us tours over 4 days, with very good advice, and a car always on time, for very decent prices. And all this despite the monsoon that tarnished our experience on the Kinabatangan River. An excellent record for him, as an independent, and we thank him for it! (independent of MAM Holidays)
