Great place to spend a couple of days doing boat safaris. We saw elephants, orangutans, Proboscis Monkeys. The staff is super nice, the rooms clean and spacious and the food delicious. Would highly recommend staying at Sukau and doing the safaris with them. We skipped the walks as we are not so interested in insects and the walks were hard.  We did take a private elephant safari as we wanted to ensure we saw elephants but the regular tour was able to watched them as well

AMAZING PLACE TO STAY IN SUKAU AND WATCH ANIMALS!

I don’t know where to start, but my partner and I had the most incredible three days at Deramakot and were left in awe. We were drawn to it at the possibility of spotting an elusive clouded leopard; but soon learned the experience was so much more than that. Having researched many different agents we decided to go with Sukau Greenview Lodges as we were already booked on a 3D2N river cruise with them, and they provided the best value for money we could find. We paid 2,500 MYR per pax for 3D2N at the Forest including all meals and our guided safaris. We had no regrets! Luckily we ended up with a private tour as no other guests had booked on, and we were picked up by our guide Hamit Suban. Hamit lived in Malaysian Borneo all of his life and had so much knowledge about the area, very kindly answering our many questions! His ability to spot wildlife with the smallest light flicker, movement or change of smell was astonishing. We were blown away by his skills and passion for the job, and learnt so much. The food at the reserve is to a very good standard and they cater to all tastes/cuisines. Although it states basic accommodation we were very pleasantly surprised by the chalets, they were clean and comfy, exactly all you need after hours out on safari. The guides have binoculars but we also rented a pair for 50,000 MYR which was totally worth it. We bought leech socks at the market in sandakan prior and recommend you have good shoes/rain jacket (ideally body length), as although the walking is generally minimal and optional, the long hours on safari can some with a change in weather. We saw a family of 5 gibbons pretty close, many flying squirrels, a slow loris who climbed right down close to us, giant squirrels, about 6 Malaysian civets which are gorgeous, 4 leopard cats, orang-utans (a mother with a one month baby and juvenile preparing a nest, unreal!), many eagles, pheasant, small otters, porcupine and other small mammals and birds. Lastly, we were lucky enough to spot two baby marbled cats which was surreal. Each sighting is thrilling no matter what you are seeing, and we didn’t anticipate the small things to bring so much joy. We went with no expectations as you can’t plan nature, but it’s truly an unmissable experience. From dinner in the depths of the jungle, stunning sunrise and sunset over the canopies and being in touch with the simplicity and beauty of being hours from anywhere - it has a piece of our heart! Thanks to Hamit for an unforgettable time at Deramakot, we cannot recommend your services enough! 

Unforgettable Deramakot Forest tour with Hamit Suban 🙏🏼

We booked the 3D2N Sepilok and Kinabatangan tour with Sukau Greenview, and it was the best part of our two week holiday in Malaysia and Singapore! The accommodation was comfortable (we stayed in a 'Superior' room) and spacious, and less 'basic' than I expected. We had a couple of large bugs come in under the door but that added to the fun of it! We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the orangutans and sunbears at the rehabilitation centres in Sepilok, but the river cruises on the Kinabatangan river were the best. Over the course of two afternoon cruises, one early morning cruise and two night cruises (we paid a little extra to get an additional night cruise) we saw multiple species of hornbills, a baby crocodile, short and long-tailed macaques, proboscis monkeys, silver leaf monkeys, an owl, civets, eagles and a bunch of other birds I can't recall the names of. We also did a one hour jungle trek which was very interesting. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and eagle-eyed - their ability to spot wildlife is amazing! Our tour guides Haiman and Shahri were excellent and really added to our experience. 

The food was simple and enjoyable, they were able to offer a good vegetarian option for me each meal. If you are going to Sabah I highly recommend doing some kind of guided cruise on the Kinabatangan river.

Best part of our holiday!

We're just back  having spent 4 wonderful nights in Greenview. The accommodation was very comfortable and immaculately clean. Great Aircon and shower. The food was lovely but the star of the show was the  amazing river trips with Fahan and Rex.   We saw Orangutans, crocs lots of monkeys,  hornbills,  kingfishers and lots more. the guides are eagle eyed and can spot a croc or a tiny bird at a great distance.   We had a great time here.  Lovely staff.  Thank you all .

What a great place!

Worst lodge but best guide

We have visited this place in December 2022. We bought 1 night stay 2 day tour. The property is really bad, worse stay that I ever had. The tour guide Farhan was the only good thing about this tour and property. Our boat was broken in the middle of the afternoon tour when it was aldready getting dark. He called the hotel for help, oyr boar was just very close to the property but it took them almost half and hour to pick us up from that point. The guide has tried his best to make us calm but the property was only able to send another boat after the guide called them several times. Apparently this boat caused problems already several times but the hotel management ignored to repair.
When we returned to the lodge, noone apologized or tried to make it up for us.
If you wanna have a great guide, you can buy this tour but if you want to have a smooth tour, you shouldn’t.
Hotel rooms are not well maintained and isolated, you can wake up with a lizard or bat inside your room in the middle of night.

1N2D Kinabatangan river

Positives. Very prompt response from emlyn re boat tour and stay.  Staff on the whole very good..  boat tour very good and loads of wildlife. Price, rm100 b&b, rm60 pax PM boat tour.  Free tea and coffee.             Negatives, room just beyond basic but functional, blood stains on bottom and top sheet, if you are not down for breakfast at 8 then forget a warm one, breakfast a rubber egg on cold noodles no other choice, but toast ok. staff talking outside room at 0630 and a very special mention to Borneo Demand Productions ( note. mainly westerners) for their selfish and inconsiderate actions at 0400 -0430 with talking loudly and slamming doors whilst leaning to return to KK (yes we know because you made it loudly clear!!)      So in conclusion, b&b no, boat tour yes, other people,.....get some manners and awareness of others. !!



Cost, communication and boat tour good.  Read on for the rest

The hosts were really flexible and thoughtful. The tours were educational and fun. All of the touroperators are nice and try so hard to give you a nice experience. We also got a special extra tour to go see the elephants. They take good care of you.
We highly recommend going to Sukau greenview!

Amazing wildlife experience

From start to finish we had a great time at Sukau Greenview. They were very easy to chat to and arranged transport for us from Sepilok on the way there and to Sandakan Airport on the way back. We had two amazing guides Suki, Farhan who were incredibly knowledgeable about the local fauna and flora. We saw Proboscis monkeys, Long-tailed macaques, short-tailed macaques, silver leaf monkeys, many species of hornbills and kingfishers, a large crocodile and the crown jewel was two sitings of wild orangutans - very special. The food was healthy and delicious and timetables were well organised. The room was clean, and cool with good AC and the shower was also great. Would recommend Greenview to anyone visiting the area.

Warm welcome and great wildlife at Sukau Greenview

We had a lovely 1 night, 2 day package tour with Greenview. Emilin was so helpful and responsive with contacting us before our stay and personalising our package.  Our lovely driver Rosman greeted us from Sandakan airport and made us feel very welcome, guiding us around the amazing Semilok Orangutan Rehab centre.
 
The rooms were air conned, spacious and clean and the location along the kinabatangan river was beautiful. The food was fresh and home cooked and catered for my extensive food allergies which was fantastic. Farhan was so informative and passionate (so much so I fell in love with the iconic hornbill bird) on the morning, afternoon and night cruises which made our experience even more magical. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Welcoming and peaceful stay with a chance to experience the big Bornean 5!

I highly recommend Sakau Greenview b&b. We had a fantastic stay and the cruises were brilliant. The guide was very knowledge and friendly. The staff were very communicative and helpful with everything.
