Besides being one of the most scenic wetland parks in Borneo, the wildlife that exist within the area is what really creates a unique experience. From spotting endemic proboscis monkeys to the dazzling display of fireflies when night fall—nature-lovers will leave Weston Wetlands Park with a powerful sense of appreciation and understanding for the natural world.

Reviews

  • Lars F Clausen 08/07/2024

    We had two great trips with Amazing Borneo: a snorkelling trip to Mantanani Islands and a river cruise on the Little Kinabatangan. Mantanani Islands are very beautiful, and we saw lots of colourful fish. On the river cruise, we saw proboscis monkeys and fireflies.

    What we particularly liked and can praise them for is their outstanding communication. We received several WhatsApp messages regarding pick-up at our hotel and when we should be ready.

    Booking experience through their website was easy and convenient. The website shows complete detail about the tour and offered reasonable prices.

  • Brendon 05/01/2024 Australia

    Our guide Ray was wonderful, as he is very knowledgeable and friendly throughout the journey.

OVERVIEW OF TOUR

Named “The Little Kinabatangan” because of the parallel experience it offers, alike to Kinabatangan’s river cruise, minus the hassle of air flights or a 7 hour overland journey. However, there is nothing small about this tour. Little Kinabatangan hosts big wildlife wonders. Immerse in nature’s grandiose splurge of beauty, absorb the sights and sounds of the Borneo jungle from the deck of a traditional style river boat.

Get those binoculars on stand-by and keep your eyes peeled for the stunning primordial cratters and often unique wildlife encounters deep into the narrow rainforest creeks of the Weston River.

This tour grants you the opportunity of experiencing Sabah’s wild-side. Encounter primates such as the Pot-bellied Proboscis Monkey, spot hornbills, flying foxes as well as dashing silver-leaf langurs! Also, witness the magic of Borneo after-dark as you set out once more on a night river-safari offering dazzling firefly sightings & nocturnal wildlife spotting.
