This is a must do in Borneo. It’s 1.5 hours in a van from Sandakan (lunch stop en route at your expense in small town). Pick up was seamless at our Air Bnb. On arrival at the jungle drop off you get in a boat across the river. Then a 700m walk (so many mozzies so layer/spray). Another boat to the accommodation. It’s basic but it’s the jungle. Meals were great - meat, veg and rice. Clean drinking water. No wifi. I was eaten alive on the hammocks so wear thick clothing/socks or use your blanket. Jai the guide is so cool. Lots of knowledge and generous with his binoculars. We saw orangutan right in our accommodation. Proboscis money’s, gibbons, crocs, lots of birds, huge lizards. So awesome for my 13 year old son. Thanks Jai and team. If you can afford to take some cash for the team please do. They are paid Malaysian wage to do a huge job.
