Reviews

  • Alan Chudleigh 19/07/2024

    We recently did the 6-day, 5-night Canopy to Coast tour with Amazing Borneo Tours, organized via Anthony in Australia prior to our arrival in Sandakan.

    The highlights for us were:

    1. The Orangutan Rehabilitation Sanctuary: Seeing these amazing animals and learning about them and how they are reintroduced back to the wild.

    2. Sukau Rainforest Lodge: This is a beautiful and well-appointed lodge in the rainforest with included boating trips and guided wildlife spotting. The guides were brilliant, super helpful, and went out of their way to facilitate photography. We spotted a couple of orangutans in the canopies.

    3. Lankayan Island: This is a beautiful small island 70 km off the coast of Sabah. It is tiny and can be walked around in about 15 minutes. Nonetheless, it was peaceful and relaxing, a lovely place to chill, swim, and snorkel.

    Finally, a special thank you to Anthony who coordinated the tour and was our point of contact before and during the tour. He was super helpful and responsive. The tour was really well coordinated on the ground from beginning to end.

    The all-inclusive meals at Sukau and Lankayan were also great.
