So Much to See and Learn - We visited Mari Mari on an excursion from our ship. Mari Mari Cultural Village has a collection of huts representing 5 of the tribes of Borneo. Each hut is stocked with items you would find in the represented village. Outside each hut we received a food or drink that would have been made in the village. I didn't get our guide's name, but he was awesome! After touring all the huts we gathered in a large tent were we got to watch dances from the five tribes. Very cool! I highly recommend visiting Mari Mari.

No head hunters here but great culture etc - We went to the village from a cruise ship tour and they did a great job handling a big crowd. Got a real sense of history and culture of Borneo. Go and enjoy your, food, drink and traditional dancing.

An amazing experience - An amazing tour. Our driver was on time, the drive to the village was only about 40 mins, and the bus was in very good conditions. At the village, the tour guide was great, very knowledgeable and approachable. The dancing ahow was colorful and entertaining. The food provided was ver good as well. I highly recommend this tour.

Cultural Tour for everybody, well worth it. - A well set up area in the bush with homes of different tribes. Our guide (Ariel ? the name he gave so we could remember ) who spoke perfect English had a vast knowledge and understanding of the history and tribal differences. He also had a great sense of humour. He was very attentive to all members of the tour group. We enjoyed sampling the different foods and drinks and the entertainment including the indoor bamboo trampoline
