Drop by here as it offers the biggest Dorje Shudgen statue I have ever seen to respect and pray to! Besides this, the place have many spiritual images and there are a number of "pastors" to giude you and relate Tibetan Buddhism for those interested!

We booked direct through crystal quest, it was easy, Fatima was fantastic and responded quickly everytime she was very helpful from begining to end. After a few emails back and forth it was booked and we didnt have to pay anything until the day. Her email is - [email protected] The trip was fantastic, the work they do on the island is brilliant, if it wasn't for them the eggs wouldnt stand a chance.

Arrived early, had a good meal in the onsite restaurant before going to the feeding platform. Saw dozens of proboscis monkeys and several troops of macaques within arms length on the boardwalk leading to the feeding platform. Travelling between the feeding platforms, we saw hornbills, silver eared monkeys, wild boar and a huge monitor lizard. Great day out.

We went here as part of a tour and it was the highlight. From seeing the young orangutans in the nursery with their very attentive keepers to the feeding platforms where the wild orangutans come in, what an experience to see these marvelous animals. to see them climb and swing through the trees. A must do experience.

20 minutes easy drive out of Kuching. Visit during feeding times (check web site) - when the wardens will call the orang utans and they will come for their favourite food (banana and coconut) Amazing to see them swing in and out, mums with baby in arm. one arm on rope , the other clutching the banana or coconut. interesting to see them smash the coconut on the hard resting place - to get to the meat . well worth the trip out. But be warned, on the rare occasions during fruit season, they may prefer wild fruit and now come when called!! Great for kids and easy walk

Just spent 9 nights at the Rasa Ria in KK and we had an amazing time. The Ocean Wing was great, the extra touches (mini bar, happy hour, balcony bath) are well worth the upgrade. The Rasa Ria team also made our stay extra special. Particular thanks to Aster in reception and Cenavera at breakfast but the list could go on. So many great people who do everything they can to make your stay fabulous. Would highly recommend the hotel and Borneo. Epic trip.

We decided to go to the Bornean Sun Bear Center instead of seeing the Orangutans next door. This place does invaluable work for Sun Bears and we saw 3 bears out from the viewing platform and they were adorable. One of the helpers, Becca was very friendly and spoke to us for 20-30 minutes, answering our questions and talking to us about the bears. We even saw an orangutan pop in from next door briefly in the trees! Could not recommend this place enough!
9. Bohey Dulang Island
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 144 reviews
Reviewed By NishaJha - Mumbai, India
I liked the view from the top. It's out of the world kind of view. The 650 metre steep hike is a bit difficult but 100% worth it. If not for anything else, Bohey Dulang island should be visited for spectacular views. The breath-taking view of a circular coral reef fringe which is actually a sea-filled volcanic crater. The island has some interesting mythological stories about it. :) There are many other things to do here such as snorkeling, diving, bird watching etc. Good for a day trip. Tip: Wear good hiking shoe.
