5 Loris spotted on tour - We highly recommend this value for money tour. The naturalists are really passionate about conservation, and we very much enjoyed the tour. We saw 5 Loris in total. As we were staying at the accommodation (which we also highly recommend), we enjoyed a delicious dinner afterwards to chat about how much we enjoyed the tour. If you enjoy animals and conservation, you will enjoy this tour. Headlamps are provided.

Unforgettable experience - We had an unforgettable experience. First there was a welcome drink, then a short presentation about loris and monkeys in general. Then we started on a night hike through the undergrowth. We saw a total of 4 lorises. One quite close, the others in the treetops. The trip is definitely recommended.

Highly recommended - Great tour, we have seen a lot of Loris. The night hike across the country alone is an experience in itself. Before that you will receive a short, informative lecture. All very concerned with animal welfare and the preservation of this species. Fully recommended.

Great conservation work and night hike - Would definitely recommend this night hike! When we got to the hotel we had a presentation about the Lorises and learnt all about them. We also learnt about the conservation work that the hotel is doing to protect them by keeping the tree canopy and educating local people on how important they are. We were then given head torches and went for the hike which was nice to be in such a small group (only 2 other couples in our group). We were very lucky to see 3 lorises and managed to see them quite clearly without feeling like we were disturbing them.

Fantastic, expert guide, personalized service - We had a great guide. We saw slender loris close up, and saw a mouse deer. The tree house accommodation is fabulous, right in the jungle canopy. Saw lots of other wildlife too. The food and service are excellent.

Great night lotus safari tour - Super excited to go on this tour to see this elusive little animal. My naturalist guide was very knowledgeable and helpful and we managed to see some adult lorises and babies. Saw some other wildlife, too, including some birds and a snake ( not to worry as it wasn’t deadly). The tour was so worth it - highly recommended and would go back again. A big ‘thanks’ to the naturalist for a wonderful tour.

Highly recommend - We had a brilliant experience. Initially we didn’t see any loris but our fantastic guide kept leading us way past our expected end time to make sure did get to see some and in the end we saw four loris. They are super cute. We also saw and heard other wild life during the walk. We all throughly enjoyed it - one of the many highlights of our whole trip. Highly recommend. (Note to add the organisers really care about protecting the species and invest in their preservation)

Great for loris! - For the purpose of the tour (loris viewing) this is 5-stars. We ended up seeing 7+. Views are often quick, but the naturalist and guide did well to ensure everyone in the group got to see them. As an overall tour I would rate it 4-stars. I would have liked more information about some of the other animals seen - this would be more specific to just a "night walk". My background is partially in Zoology, so I have interests in all organisms. The other minor detail is providing better red lights - the one I had only went a short distance making it nearly impossible for me to spot anything beyond ten feet away.

Cancelled the tour without informing us - We booked and prepaid the Slender Loris tour with Back & Beyond, but the guide took the day off without informing us. As a result, we lost our evening, paid for two unnecessary rides, and had to file a dispute to get our money back.
