Best of Borneo was a really great tour, made even more so by our national guides Wayne and Jimmy. Visiting the Iban Longhouse, National Parks and our time in the jungle gave us a good look at Village life and the wildlife. Seeing Flying Squirrels, fireflies, Probiscus monkeys, lots of other monkeys and of course the Orangutan. We were lucky enough on our River Safaris in the jungle, to spot an Orangutan and it's nest/bed high up in the treetop. Also to see the Pygmi elephants feeding, getting in the river, lining up then swimming across the river to dissappear into the jungle on the other side.
I would suggest one less night in Kota Kinabalu and an extra night in Sepilok Resort. There were so many walking tracks one could have explored at a Park within a ten minute walk from the resort.
Overall it was a fantastic trip. The hi-light for me was the Longboat to the Longhouse, + the River Safaris in the jungle.

They explain everything in simple terms, nothing is too much trouble for them. This is my 3rd Wendy Wu tour but only the 2nd I have booked directly through them. Absolutely amazing, friendly staff. I recommend these tours to my friends.

A FANTASTIC TOUR WITH A GREAT COMPANY - WENDY WU

Excellent tour with a fine guide.

Excellent from initial booking until conclusion of holiday.

From beginning to end the tour was fantastic as was the pre- tour doucmentation, service etc, The tour guide (George Pu) was exceptional in ensuring everything ran smoothly eg getting on and off, trains, boats and planes with all our luggage, booked seats and picnic lunches (which were all delicious and of a verey high standard) I would describe the tour as and experiince or rather a range of interesting and diverse experiences. George read the group well and adapted the plans etc appropriately to the circumstances. We were offered the best opportunity to see the old and new China. The hotels were of a very good standard and the meals were all superb - all on tables of 8 (there were 16 of us), all Chinese, giving us an opportunity to experince a range of local cuisines. An added plus was a very nice group of fellow travellers. Hence it was great fual

I thouroughly reccommend this tour and if George is your guide you will have a fantastic time.

I have already booked another Wendy Wu tour for next year.

Met all our expectations in touring the country and seeing a wide range of animals in their local habitat. Small group (17), excellent tour manager and local guides, very knowledgeable, good transport, ate very well at different restaurants, great local dishes. Although very humid a good time to see Borneo.

Very friendly voice (Cheryl) at the end of the phone. She couldn't have been more helpful in setting up my 'Best of Borneo + 3 days stop-over in Singapore' holiday for March 2026. She understood my needs as an 'older' solo traveller and she was very sympathetic to my requirements.

Excellent online booking system

Lots of positives and some negatives.
Breakdown of days after arrival.

Explore Kota Kinabalu Some good.

Kinabalu Park Trails Good.

Fly to Sandakan. Got up at 3.00am to visit Sandakan Memorial Park to see the remains of an old boiler. Went to a church that was closed. Went up loads of steps to see a monument of William Pryer. Very enjoyable English meal at a very good location.

Sepilok Orangutan Rehab Centre. Superb day.

Kinabatangan River Explorations. Superb day.

Return to Kota Kinabalu. Good day.

To summarise.

Too much moving and packing and returning to same place.

Palace Hotel in the middle of nowhere. We had a lovely last evening meal a bus ride away. It would have been better staying in that area.

We were lucky enough to see orangutans, pygmy elephants, snow bears, proboscis monkeys and crocodiles.

We stayed at some very good locations.

Finally and very importantly our guides Selvam & Wayne were the best you could have asked for. They were very knowledgeable extremely kind and helpful.

Will be attending your meeting on the 28 at little Ashton where we will be representing our group.

Excellent mix of culture and amazing wildlife locations with a first class knowledgeable and experienced guide. Yet another strong trip from Wendy Wu.
