Our guide is brilliant and knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble for Brendan and he went the extra mile on several occasions. Our accommodation was clean and comfortable. Our dinners at various restaurants were consistently fabulous. Planning was faultless. The trip ran smoothly. Our driver avoided as many potholes as way possible. Seeing the birds and animals of Borneo was a definite highlight. We loved every minute.

Hi Bernadette,

I wanted to get in touch with you as my son was the one bitten by a viper earlier this month at Sepilok Orangutan Rehabiliation Centre and I would like to provide some feedback on your amazing employees, Lina, Bennie and our driver, Aslen (sorry, I’m not sure how to spell his name).

I have never met such kind, generous and caring people. They went out of their way to ensure we were able to communicate with the hospital staff, they ensured we were fed and comfortable and transported wherever we needed to go. Lina paid for food and lent us money, she brought food from her own home and brought gifts for my son. They all showed such care and concern at such a difficult time for our family.

You must be so proud to have them working at Borneo Trails. We can’t thank them enough for everything they did for us. I hope they are recognised and rewarded for their incredible contribution to your company. We will never forget their kindness and compassion.

Kind regards,

Nicole

I just wanted to say how wonderful your tour guide Brendon Miles is. His knowledge of the history and local Borneo is amazing. He helped us when my husband was sick - so caring and concerned. He is an asset to your team.

Dear Esther

My husband and I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to you (for the wonderful itinerary) and our guides (Walter, Anna) and drivers (Adi & others, whom we could not remember the names).  As senior citizens, we are always looking forward to relaxing but interesting tours, suited to our physical capabilities.  The trails were exhilarating and paced evenly that we could recoup our energy to challenge the next one, which were equally exciting, comfortably.  Walter and Anna were very informative, helpful and cheerful. We learnt a lot about Sabah and the local cultures, some which quite shocked us (to be truthful).  The highlight of the tour must be the firefly cruise which gave us such amazing feelings that we have not experienced for a long time. Irfan really is a firefly wonder boy.

Overall, we enjoyed ourselves immensely and we hope to return again to Sabah, for another visit.

Kind regards

Mary & Hwang

I had my Kota Kinabalu vacation in October and Humprey was my driver for my Sapi island trip. Although the only time we met was on the car to and from but he was very friendly. He tells us about what food is nice, share with us the cultural in Sabah and recommended us to Mari Mari culutral village if we are keen to understand more.

Once again, thank you Humprey for being so hospitable. Hope to see you again if we are back in Sabah. 

Thank you so much!

Cheers,

"Mr. Jame Deserved the highest appreciation due to his extraordinary professionalism, knowledge, readiness to help and kindness. The driver was perfect too. Big thanks to Lotus Asia Tours!!!"

The long 6.5 hours winding & imperfect road condition from KK are worth of hassles to visit the Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre. They are so cute and pleasant to watch. Shame we couldn’t see the indoor nursery. Highly recommend if you can. There are places to visit along the way namely Kundasang. You’ll be blown away with the numbers of various fruits that are not available in your local supermarkets.

Recently we stayed at the Shangri-La's Rasa Ria Resort in Kota Kinabalu and organised a tour to Sandakan with your agent at the resort . This was an excellent tour which was organised with professionalism from the agent , and I would like to make special note of Jame , who was our guide in Sandakan, as he did an EXCELLENT job for us .Thank you

Best way to see Borneo!!

We travelled with Borneo Trails after booking it through travel agent in Australia. Our itinerary was fantastic and took us to all the places we had wanted to see. Everything ran like clockwork and we were always on time and never rushed. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and well situated. The guides were informative and happy to answer questions and go out of their way to help us see things. When I mentioned that I had hoped to see a flowering Rafflesia plant our guide found out where we could see one and took us there even though it wasn't on the itinerary. I was really appreciative. We saw a lot of animals during our time at the Kinabatangan River and we got to visit two war memorials which were very poignant and wonderful to visit. I would throughly recommended travelling with these guys if you want to do a thorough trip of Borneo. The accommodation as mentioned was great, the restaurants they took us to were all lovely and we got to enjoy a lot of local dishes. My only disappointment with the whole tour was that our coach has extremely squeaky suspension which made it hard to hear the commentary if you were sitting at the back of the bus. Do yourselves a favour and book with Borneo Trails.

A special thank you to Jamie our tour guide in Borneo for his great knowledge and friendliness. He guided us at for 3 days starting at Sepilok Orangutan Centre to the Bilt river lodge and back to Sandakan.
