Testing Wildlife & Rainforest Trips, Sabah, Borneo

Whilst the Borneo Dream teams first passion will always be diving, enjoying the stunning wildlife, flora and fauna of Sabah, Borneo quickly became our second :-)

Kinabalu Park

So, alongside our extensive range of diving trips and courses, we provide a range of wildlife and rainforest trips helping you get up close and personal with the amazing and breathtaking wildlife, flora and fauna of Borneo. Orang Utans, Proboscis Monkeys, Hornbills, Orchids, Crocodiles, Rain forests . . . . so much to see, experience and be amazed by.

We also like to test the trips on a regular basis to ensure they are providing great experiences and to help us keep providing the best advise to our customers. Okay, it’s also one of the perks of the job too ;-) As part of this, we recently spent a busy few days visiting Kinabalu Park, Tenom Agriculture Park and Lok Kawi Wildlife Park. We also visited the Kundasang World War II Memorial sited near Kinabalu Park.

You can enjoy some photos from these trips using the following links:

Previously we have tested the following trips – Kinabatangan River, Sepilok Sanctuary, Labuk Bay Sanctuary and the Rain Forest Discovery Centre.

If these photos don’t tempt you to want to see the wildlife of Sabah, Borneo and explore the rain forests, I don’t know what will!

Craig, enjoying TARP dives

I have just completed my PADI Open Water course with Borneo Dream in Kota Kinabalu. My husband, Craig joined me and enjoyed some leisure diving around TARP Marine Park.

I rate Borneo Dream 10/10 for service, enjoyment, staff and overall experience.

I enjoyed the fun, friendly and trustworthy staff (most important for nervous divers like me), the nice boat, personal service from the start and the excellent environment for diving.

I would have liked a congratulatory Tiger after completing my PADI course :-) – the one in the bar later on with you guys was good too.

Thanks,

Great snorkeling!

Great snorkeling!

Thank you so very much for the wonderful snorkeling trip. Stephanie really enjoyed the snorkeling she did and was happy to have met the other Japanese girls. I want to thank you for the extra time you spent to take me for a little dive.

I would rate Borneo Dream 10/10 for everything – service, enjoyment, safety, staff, food and the overall experience. I thought the snorkeling was wonderful and enjoyed meeting the other visitors on the trip.

Thank you very much for your time and trouble – we hope to see you again.
