Very nice experience! Very recommended! - Very very nice and interesting experience! And the guide was very expert and insightful! Maybe you should specify that for the boat transfer you could bring with you some sandals (since you have to remove your shoes), but overall a very nice experience!

Return to the origins. Surrounded by primeval nature and in search of the proboscis monkey. - We already knew that it was going to be difficult to find the proboscis monkeys. But we had crossed half the world to see them. We set ourselves the goal of not being too ambitious and enjoying every meter traveled. Jungle, mangroves, sea, rock formations... We saw some proboscis monkeys from afar and among the vegetation. We must recognize that they are wild animals Suddenly we ran into a male two meters away from us. eating leaves It is not clear who was more surprised of the two. My guide fulfilled his objective and we were able to fulfill our first objective in Borneo A unique experience that no one should miss. By the way, there are no mosquitoes.

Great experience - We took a Grab from Kuching to the national park, which was no problem, and we also got one for the way back straight away. There were four of us on the crossing, so you can only go back with four people. We had booked 2 nights in a Forest Hostel. We were worried about the condition of the hostel because we had read the reports on Tripadvisor, but we were pleasantly surprised. The hostel we were in had probably been renovated, but there were no holes in the floor or much mold. We stayed in Forest Hostel A. There are 4 rooms with 4 beds and 2 women and 2 men showers and toilets for all 16 people. The rooms are very small and there are fly screens on the windows and a fan. It was also reasonably clean. The bed is covered with pillows and a fitted sheet, but I can't say whether this was fresh, I would recommend a hut sleeping bag. There is nothing to cover yourself with. The tours are pretty strenuous, and it is definitely better to do them in the morning than in the afternoon.

Very good experience - Was good, nice guide, on time pickup. One thing not perfect was the duration , we were back at the hotel in Kuching around 15. But to be honest, we felt satisfied nonetheless.

Great to see - Fantastic jungle. But the trails Were over crowded and our tour group of 21 meant it was very hard to hear anything from the guide. Guide shared the absolute minimum information so I would not say enriching visit. Good if you want to look but not if you want to learn anything. There is an issue of plastic garbage everywhere, at low tide you can see the plastic caught up in the vegetation, lots around the buildings, and even watched the wild pigs eating it out front of the cafeteria. I wish I brought a bag to collect garbage as i feel tourists should contribute to the solution. Driver was good and company easy to communicate with. Lunch was satisfying.

It's not the time. - To the P.N. Bako leaves to watch the proboscis monkeys, nothing more. In our case we didn't see any and the people in the park knew perfectly well that at this time it was almost impossible to see them. At no time had they prepared food for them to appear. It is not the right time, better to be honest and close the park and not cause disappointment and expense.
