Like many others we booked package B through the website and received quick and courteous emails from Ivy confirming our booking and giving us a little more info. She also emailed us a reminder the day before our trip as we arrived in Kuching. We were met in our hotel lobby by Jackson bang on 8.00am as arranged and were... More

The tour was really well run. The day started with a visit to Semmengoh Orang Utan sanctuary in time for the feeding. Afterwards you are taken to start the kayaking part. The river is gentle to kayak on and is such a peaceful way to see the rainforest. The only sounds you hear are the noises from the rainforest and... More

Ivy and Jackson treated us very well - picking us up from the hotel and dropping us back there at the end of the day. When the Orang Utans didn't show, they arranged for us to try again in the afternoon after kayaking. The kayaking trip was a great day out in itself. Lunch was really good and the trip... More

It was really interesting and great. Unfortunately at the morning feeding session it was raining and the Orangutang's didn't come out for feeding.... More

We also enjoyed package B. The day we went, a large number of orang utans turned up at the feeding platform and we were more than happy to watch for the maximum time allowed. We also saw some beautifully coloured squirrels (which I have not seen elsewhere in Asia). The kayaking was very enjoyable, even though it was low water... More
