    Did not receive what we paid for.
    Overall the tour was fine. However we were disappointed in that it was promoted as a private tour. We were surprised to find that another couple was also on the same tour. They had some serious physical limitations and were very slow. As a result we could not do everything we would have liked. Therefore I don't think we got our value for what we paid for. Bad business practice.

    Great day touring Sabah
    I had a great experience and a wonderful day. I hired a guide (Abdul Qayyum, + 6011-16695114) to take me to Labuk Bay and a night firefly tour on the river. He is an exceptional guide and provided excellent service. He pointed out birds and other sights along the way.

    We arrived just in time for the feeding. The monkeys put on quite a show. It’s sad that they have lost their habitat and are forced to rely on humans to feed them. The sanctuary is inside a palm oil plantation. Talk about irony.

    Day trip from kota Kinabalu
    We had an amazing day . Really pleased with pick up and drop of at our hotel the Shangrila rasa ria as had read earlier reviews cars were always waiting for us excellent service. Our guide was knowledgeable and ensured we got to viewing early to get best view before it got busy . We went to see the orangutan but have to say the probiscous monkeys were a real highlight for us as so many and came so close. Would recommend trip to other travellers especially if worried about pick ups to airport etc.

    Sepilok Orang Utan, Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkeys and Sun Bear tour - Fantastic with Sepilok Tropical Wildlife Tours. FAB
    We had an Awesome day with Sepilok Tropical Wildlife Tour. Rasa Ria Resort planned the trip thanks to Ridhwan on the front concierge.

    Picked up at 4.30 by private car and taken to The airport port. 45 mins after take off we were landing at Sandakam. Then met up with two other guests from OZ for a packed day from start to finish.

    Stop 1. Coffee and local breakfast cake roll thing. And the loo.

    Stop 2. Speilok Orang Utan Sanctuary.
    All animals are within the jungle. It is you who is controlled and put in little boxes.
    You walk on platforms high up within the jungle and stop at observation towers.

    Halim, our guide was informative and knowledgeable. Answered all the questions we had. The orang Utans all have names and features that the keepers can tell them a part from.

    We started with baby feeding time to go onto the big boys. All fun to watch as they SRAN into action when food appeared.
    After a rather warm morning it was off to

    Stop 3. the Proboscis Monkeys who are a little unusual to say the least.

    Stop 4. Around 1.00 now. Lunch at the Banana cafe. Rather good! Don’t believe all that you read. Some people want the Ritz in the middle of a jungle area! Don’t forget that loo stop!!!!

    Stop 5. The Sun Bears also called Honey bears although they should be called horny bears as one climbed over his ares fence and now there is a baby sun bear.

    Stop 6. Back to Orang Utans for afternoon din dins

    Stop 7. Back to the airport for 4.00 to get the 5.15 plane back arriving home by 8.00 for a shower and evening dinner……..phew!

    Expensive yes, approx £220 each all in, cars and flights you can see where the costs build up.

    Worth it……YES.

    The best hotel near Sepilok center
    Such a beautiful hotel, there is a feeling that you stay in botanical garden. 5 mins walk from Orangutan’s center, which is super handy. Fantastic lake view at restaurant area. Food with a twist, which is very rare.
    The only weird thing was a service at restaurant. All personal was very friendly but there was something missing, we had a feeling that it was something wrong in the team. Be aware, the restaurant is closed at 2100 and no more service of any kind.

    Sterling work highlighted in this tour.
    I came here again recently after the slow reopening post-Covid and was pleased to see that both sanctuaries' sterling work rehabilitating the animals was continuing apace. The bears at the Conservation Centre appeared to be thriving while the orphaned orang utans at Sepilok were the epitome of 'well cared for'. It is depressing that the number of orphaned apes appeared to have increased since my previous visit but their robust physical health gave glimpses of a potentially brighter future. This Tour is highly worthwhile as it combines both adjacent centres and affords one an insight into each one's excellent work.

    Best day in Borneo
    This was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had in my life! As a solo traveller I felt very welcomed and comfortable on this tour. All staff were so lovely! I got to see so much and was very lucky to see all of the animals even an orangutan up close which is not guaranteed as they are wild animals. The timings were great for each place and I had plenty of time to enjoy every part of it! Jackie was incredibly informative and as a person with a degree in animal management and zoology I can see he really knows what he was talking about! Even I learnt new things about each of the species I didn’t know before! Not only did he teach me about the animals but about Borneo as a whole! He even helped take photos of me whenever I wanted to make the trip just that much more special! Pick up and drop off was included which made it stress free meaning I could spend my time enjoying the whole experience. I really enjoyed my time and would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Borneo!

    Was OK
    There were only 5-6 orang utans in the morning feeding time. When we came back at 3pm, none were around. It was a disappointment. When asked a caretaker, he mentioned they were full from eating all day. Then why have the 3pm feeding time???
    I came here 20years back where there were more than 20 males and females that came to feed.
    It was a good experience
