Scuba Diving with Borneo Dream
Scuba Diving in Sabah, Borneo with Borneo Dream - Customer Feedback
“We recently returned from a scuba diving holiday with Borneo Dream in Kota Kinabalu. This was our first time in Sabah, Borneo and we really loved it!
Scuba Diving from Kota Kinabalu
Borneo Dream are an excellent company to do your scuba diving with in Sabah. They have put a lot of work into finding good, safe dive sites for their customers. They have a really stable, comfortable boat which has plenty of room and Billy and Jo are first class skippers.
Their boat was by far the best of any of the charter boats that we saw while we were there. All the kit is in excellent order and they attach the highest priority to dive safety and ensuring that their customers enjoy fantastic diving in Sabah, Borneo. Read the rest of this entry »

Leaf Monkey
Wildlife Trips, Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia
My Mother and Brother came to visit me this month for their first holiday in Sabah, Borneo. After flying over 14 hours to get to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo from the UK we wanted to help them experience some of the stunning wildlife and rainforests of, Sabah, Borneo.
Orang Utan, Sepilok Sanctuary
We drove from Kota Kinabalu to Sandakan and took them to a few of our favourite wildlife and rainforest trips - Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary and Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre, Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary, Kinabalu Park and Sandakan Rainforest Discovery Centre.
They had never seen such a wide range of apes, or wildlife, in the wild before - Orang Utans, Proboscis Monkeys, Long Tailed Macaques, Pig Tailed Macaques, Leaf Monkey - and enjoyed each of the wildlife trips they went on. They also saw Hornbills, a wide range of endemic orchids and walked through beautiful rainforest landscapes. Read the rest of this entry »

Diving TARP Marine Park
Scuba Diving Trips, Diving Holiday, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia - Customer Feedback
“I recently enjoyed my first holiday in Sabah, Borneo. I came for a three week holiday during July / August and arranged everything through Borneo Dream. They pulled together a personalised itinerary for me and showed me some of the best diving and wildlife experiences in Sabah, Borneo. It was a outstanding holiday trip!
Diving Mayne Rock
I enjoyed ten days diving with Borneo Dream and went on diving trips to all of their diving destinations - Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, Pulau Tiga, Mayne Rock and the Usukan Wrecks. I saw so much marine life and was really impressed by the quality of the diving. The choice of diving trips was very good and my personal favourate was Mayne Rock - stunning diving.
Diving Pulau Tiga
They also arranged for me to dive at LayangLayang , go on a Kinabatangan River Safari, see Orang Utans at Sepilok and Proboscis Monkeys at Labuk Bay Sanctuary. I would rate all of these trips 10/10 for enjoyment, safety and what I did during each trip.
Kinabatangan River
I stayed at three different hotels during my stay - LangkahSyabas Beach Resort , the Jesselton Hotel and the Pacific Sutera Resort. All of them offered something slightly different. My personal favourate was Langkah Syabas. It is a great familiar hotel, quiet and clean, great bar and restaurant, nice park and beach to relax and to take a sun bathe. It also has fantastic home made cheese.
I would 100% use Borneo Dream again and plan to come back to Borneo again.
Many thanks for the very personnel and luxury treatment during my full stay. Great to know you! Thank you all!”

Sunset over Klias Wetlands
Klias Wetlands, Wildlife Trips, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia
Fancy seeing the wildlife of Sabah, Borneo whilst staying in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia? Then try a day trip to Klias Wetlands, also known as Garama.
Long Tailed Macaque
Klias Wetlands is a wildlife trip with a difference. It involves a river cruise through a mangrove swamp where you will see the unique Proboscis Monkey - only found in Borneo. You will also see Long Tailed Macaques, one of the other primates found in Borneo, and Water Buffalo.
A Great Day Out!
If the weather is right you will also get to see a stunning Fireflie display after dark. They light up the trees creating a ‘Christmas Tree’ effect. Simply mesmerising!
It takes 2 hours by coach from Kota Kinabalu to reach Klias Wetlands. Once there you will enjoy some mouth watering local Malaysian cooking alongside seeing the wildlife. This wildlife trip is suitable for all ages, making it ideal for a family day out.
If flying to Sandakan (the hub for most wildlife trips) is not an option for you, then Klias Wetlands is a perfect alternative for experiencing some of the amazing wildlife of Sabah, Borneo. Klias Wetlands - a relaxing, enjoyable wildlife trip for those staying in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo.

Snorkeling Trip
Wildlife Trips, Snorkeling, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia - Customer Feedback, July 2007
“I have no words to describe how amazing the Borneo trip was. On arriving at the airport I had butterflies, but as it turned out, I had nothing to worry about as the whole experience left no time for anyone to get bored or think about home.
We arrived in Borneo on Thursday afternoon after two days of traveling and went to this interesting monkey restaurant where the food and service was fabulous. This gave us all a chance to get to know the organizers of our trip a bit more; Billy, Jo and Ron from Borneo Dream.
Kinabatangan River Cruise
We didn’t have a late night that night as we were all tired and the next day served as a chill out day as we went out on the boat for a snorkeling trip with Jo, Billy and Ron. They took us snorkeling where we got to see a beautiful blue starfish, squid and even a sea snake! They had also prepared us a tasty picnic of sandwiches and watermelon to satisfy us. A storm came in later in the afternoon - it was actually quite exciting and we knew we were in safe hands.
Saturday morning we had to get up early to catch a plane to Sandakan. Off to enjoy wildlife trips and explore the rainforest! We explored the Rainforest Discovery Centre, going into the jungle and spotting black squirrels roaming up and down the trees and beautiful butterflies fluttering about. We then had a long drive to the Kinabatangan River lodge – which gave us time to catch up on lost sleep! Once we had settled in we went on a Kinabatangan River safari, this was extraordinary as we got to view Proboscis Monkeys up close in their natural habitat, unfortunately, we didn’t get to see any crocodiles. We then got to explore the jungle at night, this was quite scary and VERY muddy. I got to see scorpions and leeches, luckily I didn’t get any on me.
Orang Utans
Sunday held the highlight of the trip for me as we went to Sepilok Sanctuary to see the Orang Utans while feeding. This was spectacular from the way they swung, all the other monkeys are scared of them.
By Monday, I was wishing we could extend the trip. We went white water rafting on Kiulu River which is a level 1 and 2; this was extremely fun. The body rafting was an experience and certainly turned your bum a different colour!
Borneo Dream kept us entertained every moment of our Borneo adventure and left us with unforgettable memories. The whole trip was a huge success and could not have been done without all the support we received and the careful organization - thank you Borneo Dream. I would definitely go to Borneo again!”
