Great tour guide (Jason) - flexible to meet our needs. Very knowledgeable of the local fauna and flora. Always made safety a priority for us.

Very enjoyable tour and a great way to access a National Park and see the diversity of the countryside outside the city.
The tour incorporated a mini bus, small boat, and walking which all added to the experience, and arriving at the National Park by boat particularly showcased the spectacular rock formations of the cliffs on the way in.
Our guide Salih was terrific and made the tour especially enjoyable for us. He was friendly and professional and lives in the area, so he had a lot of information and insights about the park and its history, and a strong knowledge of the plants and wildlife in the park.
Salih was very adept at spotting and pointing out wildlife, so we got to see a wide range of animals and plants - though unfortunately we did not get to see any proboscis monkeys.
Salih also ensured that the pace of the tour suited the participants and their abilities so that we got the most out of the tour.
The lunch at the Visitor Centre was excellent with a wide range of very tasty local dishes available. Park Rangers and café staff were friendly and the facilities were clean and tidy.

Adventurous Rainforest Tour (with Julian - fantastic tour guide)
Loved the experience. Great for city dwelling folks like us to learn about the rain forest and wild lives. Julian (the tour guide) was very knowledgeable and thoughtful in leading us through this fun and educational journey. However, it is important to come prepared with raincoat or poncho, proper hiking shoes (perhaps waterproof), and adventurous attitude.

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!

Sally made the Bako tour an experience of a lifetime.
Sally was an excellent tour guide during our Bako tour. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. She pointed out all the monkeys, snake, and wildlife on the tour. I was the oldest person on the tour. She offered for a boat to return me to the Bako center on the return. The boat could not come so the other 6 people went ahead. Sally stayed with me and helped me over the difficult parts of the trek. I made it thanks to Sally’s help and kindness.
She made the tour very special for me and the others on the tour. She is an asset to your company.

Elvin the monkey Whisperer
We had a personal tour with Elvin, and he showed us around the Bako Natiolpark wtihin looking for all the wildlife. He knows a lot and you can ask him anything - he will tell you! Good day Trip, very good organised

Well-organised tour.
Well-organised tour. I was contacted by whatsapp by the tour guide (JayBee) the evening before the trip to confirm the pick-up time from our hotel, and we were driven from our hotel to the Bako national park jetty, and then sent by speedboat to the national park itself. From there we were given the option of what level of difficulty trail we wanted to go on. We chose an easier trail for my mum's benefit, and we still managed to see a variety of wildlife including silver-leafed monkeys, long-tailed macaques, proboscis monkeys, a viper, butterflies, spiders, terminites nests, crabs... Part of the walk was on boardwalk planks but the last part of the trail was on a track through the jungle. We finished our hike at the beautiful Tanjung Paku beach where we were picked up by speedboat and shown the sea stacks from the water. We opted to return to Kuching for a late lunch with our guide rather than have it at the canteen in the national park headquarters in order to give us more options. Our guide JayBee was very knowledgeable about the history and nature of Sarawak and gave us lots of information about Kuching and Sarawak throughout the day,
