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!”
