Excellent trip
May 2023 • Couples
The trip was excellent from beginning to end. Sticky Rice really delivered. Our guide, Mike was a first class guide especially when he teamed up with Ali at the Eco Camp at Tungog Lake. They were amazing spotters of wildlife. We saw all that we hoped for and much more

Amazing wildlife experience
Apr 2023 • Couples
We absolutely loved our tour, particularly Dunam Valley. Our guide Akumal was incredible! He was knowledgeable, skilful and generous with all that he shared with us. We got to see a lot of amazing wildlife.
We have already recommended the tour with StickyRice to lots of our friends and family.
Accommodation was very good at Borneo Nature Lodge and the Danum Valley field centre. And the food, too!

We've traveled extensively, and rate Charles Ryan as the "best guide ever!"
Apr 2023
Sticky Rice (Charles Ryan) put together an amazing custom bird and animal trip of Borneo for us. The trip included the highly acclaimed Danum Valley, Mt Kinabalu, and Kinabatangan River, as well as less known spots as Fraser"s Hill, True Madi and Deramakot. Sticky rice knows Borneo; they replied quickly to any special requests we made during the planning stage and flawlessly carried out the logistics of the trip. We've traveled extensively, and rate Charles Ryan as the "best guide ever!".

Borneo
Apr 2023
My recent trip to Borneo was fabulous. Sticky Rice had all the logistics in perfect order and the trip went like clockwork. Charlie is an amazing biologist and guide and he's very well connected within the eco guiding community. We saw over 300 spp during our 3 week trip and included a climb up Mt Kinabalu. Sticky Rice accommodated all of our requests and the experience was very unique and special. I highly recommend Sticky Rice .

Great custom tour arrangements and guiding by Sticky Rice!
Mar 2023
The whole Sticky Rice team did a superb job in putting together a photo-oriented itinerary for me in Borneo. With a limited amount of time, I was able to see wildlife highlights from two different locations, the Danum Valley and the Kinabatangan River rain forest area. Using my inputs, Charlie & Rachel proposed a great plan, and teamed me up with Dean Jais, an excellent guide. Sticky Rice organizes for many top-level global travel companies, and their capabilities for my solo travel were perfect as well. Highly recommended!

Run by amazing people
Aug 2022 • Friends
A friend and I did a four night OROU SAPULOT trip in Sabah last August.

We had a truly remarkable experience and I cannot stress enough the effort and care taken by our guides and hosts to make our experience wonderful.

A particular highlight was the Sabah rice wine, however, that’s a story for another time.

We both learned a lot about an amazing culture and people and I look forward to returning to Sabah with Sticky Rice Tours as soon as I can!

Good choice for a trip to the Danum Valley
Mar 2023
Very good experience in organizing ourselves a trip to the Danum Valley with Sticky Rice Travel. Communication was excellent. We took the 3D2N package at the Danum Valley Field Center and it ended up being a great first immersion into the rain forest and its amazing wildlife.

Hello Vladimir (P2803WP_), Thank you so much for taking the time to review us and for the kind comments. We couldn't agree more that Danum Valley is best experienced with a knowledgeable guide, and our guides know the area like the back of their hands! It's great to know that you enjoyed your trip and that our team made your experience memorable. I will be sure to pass your commendation and appreciation to the team for their great service and we look forward to welcoming you back in the near future. Travel well and warm regards.

Awesome adventures with Sticky rice in Borneo
Jan 2023
Thankyou so much Sticky Rice for helping to arrange our 3D4N stay at Danum Valley - you made the admin easy and kept us informed at every stage. It was an incredible experience and wish we could have stayed longer. The guide was great, the accommodation comfortable and the food tasty. We were rewarded with so much wildlife, including five orangutans, one of which was a huge alpha male which we had to go off trail to get a closer look. We absolutely recommend Sticky Rice Travel to everyone who visits Sabah. Excellent trip !

Hi B736DAjerrys, Thank you for taking time out to leave us a positive review. We are chuffed to know that you have had the pleasure to see not one but 5 orang utans including an alpha male on top of other wildlife encounter while in Danum Valley. Our guides are one of the best around and they know the area like the back of their hands, which made trekking in the million year old rainforest a much more enjoyable experience on top of a well informed trip planning from the travel consultant in charge. Hope to see you around this part of Borneo again. Till then safe travel and take care.

3 amazing weeks in Borneo
Oct 2022
Sticky Rice were brilliant from the first moment we got in touch with them. They helped us put together an awesome bespoke package for a three week trip away in Borneo. Their communication was excellent from the moment we got in touch with them they were incredibly prompt at answering any of our questions about the trip. We would like to thank Mina in particular who helped us put together our trip and who was just fabulous at supporting us when one of our flights got cancelled due to bad weather (she had already heard about the cancellation and had sourced alternative accommodation etc and rang us to support us so we did not have to stress about it at all). We really appreciated the fact they use local guides for all their trips and all of the guides we had were brilliant. The accommodation in all the locations we stayed in was excellent and the transfers etc were seamless. Would highly recommend to anyone.
