Thank you and the team for the most wonderful trip to Borneo. We had an amazing time, and it was certainly our best holiday to date. As well as all the places and activities we very much appreciated the expertise apparent in the way that the itinerary built in sufficient time for relaxation. … We received absolutely brilliant treatment throughout … with smooth transfers at every stage, and we found all the guides to have a real passion for preserving the country. One went out of his way to take us to see a rare Rafflesia in bloom, and we were inspired by our guide at Sukau's particular expertise in bird watching. The whole team at Tabin were exemplary - generously sharing their incredible specialist knowledge. We had an absolutely great time diving there - Barracuda Point at Sipadan felt like being part of the 'Blue Planet' series … definitely the trip of a life time. (Holly and Adam Broughton) We had an excellent time in Sabah - all elements of the trip came together well and we were lucky enough to see the vast majority of what we could have hoped to see and in some cases more. Tour cover notes for the itinery were excellent and set a fair expectation of the varying overnight locations. Highlights were so many but seeing the turtle laying its eggs on Turtle Island, watching baby turtles release on lankayan, the diving and snorkling on Lankayan, seeing a wild family of Oran Utans ( father with tiny baby and mother in the same tree, approx 80 identified different birds and last but no means least the people of Sabah who were just so friendly and helpful. (Mr Paul Lammiman, UK) Yep had a great time thanks…. Transfer's were all on time, friendly and helpful drivers. Lankayan was stunning and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The Riverside Lodge was amazing, staff, food, location top notch as was our Guide, Jesselton Hotel was good value for money and in a good location. I would without doubt consider using Aqua-Firma again. (Mr Matt Smith, UK) Had an absolutely briliant trip. All went very smoothly and all the tour guides and resorts were brilliant and always on time. I must say it was the easiest holiday I've ever been on and all your operatives in Borneo were great. (Mr Greg Abbott, Cumbria) Thanks. We had an excellent time, all the arrangements worked without a hitch and we were very well looked after. Full marks all round. (Martin Bobrow, Cambridge) Firstly the holiday was excellent. Malaysia is a wonderful and diverse country, the people are so friendly and genuine and the landscape is magnificent. It is very hard to convey to someone else your own holiday but the jungle was amazing. I ran out of superlatives for it after about half an hour ! and still cannot describe what it meant for us to be there. The forest was very diverse, we walked through several types of habitat, each quite distinct. … The route followed trails rather than paths and you got the feeling that you really were miles form anywhere and that very few people had been there before. We would definitely recommend the Maliau for the plants and flora rather than wildlife but by no means were we disappointed by what we saw. The jungle was a place to make your heart sing with the wonder of it all - it just went on forever and seemed so untouched. It was a truly magnificent enviroment and we felt very lucky indeed to be there. To be in such a beautiful hotel after the jungle was a bit of a shock to the system and the luxury was very welcome indeed! Needless to say, we quickly adjusted! Well i think that you can tell that we had a wonderful time on our honeymoon, we had such a diverse time in all senses and would highly recommend each and every part of our stay. Our memories are fond and incredible. (Allison & David Thomas, UK) We had a good trip …. we dived Sipadan twice a day everyday and at Barracuda Point everyday, Masses of turtles, lots of sharks and barracuda and jacks tornadoes ….and found a cuttlefish who had eaten such a big fish the tail was sticking out of its mouth and it was so heavy the cuttlefish couldn`t swim properly! (Brock family, Wales) Boat trips along river all good - saw lots of Monkeys/ Snakes etc etc with lots of photo's. Guides also very good who tried very hard to get us to see some Pigmy Elephants … a really nice trip, some lovely dives seeing some really good stuff both above and below the water (Andy Oates, UK) |
