Schildpaddeneiland & Kinabatangan rivier – Ga mee op een vierdaags wildlife avontuur in Sabah, Borneo
De 4-daagse Turtle Island & Kinabatangan River Cruise Trip is een van onze populairste reizen. Het is niet moeilijk om te zien waarom, als je tijdens één reis kunt deelnemen aan de volgende unieke activiteiten om wilde dieren te bekijken: Turtle Island, Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, vier riviercruises op de beroemde Kinabatangan-rivier, een bezoek aan het Rainforest Discovery Centre en een trekking in het regenwoud (twee keer ’s nachts en één keer overdag). Dit alles voor een voordelige 4-daagse reis! Als je meer activiteiten wilt ondernemen om wilde dieren te bekijken, kun je ook een bezoek aan Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary en het Sun Bear Conservation Centre toevoegen (tegen een kleine toeslag).
Dromen over wilde dieren komen uit in Borneo – schildpadden nestelen, orang-oetans zien en wilde dieren bij de Kinabatangan-rivier
Tijdens de 4-daagse Turtle Island & Kinabatangan River Cruise Trip verblijf je één nacht in het Resort op Selingan Island, ook wel bekend als Turtle Island. Daarna verblijf je twee nachten in Tanini Kinabatangan (voorheen Nature Lodge Kinabatangan), dat aan de oever van de Kinabatangan rivier bij Kampung Bilit ligt.
Na vier dagen wilde dieren bekijken op Turtle Island en de Kinabatangan-rivier, waarom niet een snorkel- of duikavontuur vanuit Kota Kinabalu met Borneo Dream op zoek naar zeeleven? Onze begeleide snorkeltrip of RAID Try-Dive Experience zijn perfect om de tropische wateren en koraalriffen bij Kota Kinabalu te verkennen.

Aantekeningen – 4D3N Schildpaddeneiland & Kinabatangan Rivierreis, Sabah, Maleisië
Turtle Island Park ligt zo’n 40 km van Sandakan City. De boottocht van de aanlegsteiger naar het eiland duurt 45 minuten tot 1 uur. Als je last hebt van zeeziekte, is het aan te raden om zeeziektepillen te nemen. Voor boottransfers van/naar Turtle Island Resort zal de Sandakan Marine Department een veiligheidsbeslissing nemen of boottransfers zijn toegestaan op basis van het weer/getijde. In het geval van een woelige zee kunnen staatsouders de bootovertocht naar Turtle Island niet geschikt vinden voor baby’s. Voor personen met rugproblemen of zwangere vrouwen kan de boottocht naar Turtle Island ongeschikt zijn bij ruwe zee.
Sabah Parks (die de instandhoudingsactiviteiten van Turtle Island beheert) onderschrijft de volgende instandhoudings- en veiligheidspraktijken op Turtle Island. Dit minimaliseert elke negatieve impact op de schildpadden die eieren komen leggen op het eiland.:-
- Sabah Parks staat alleen het gebruik van camera’s met flits toe om de schildpad te fotograferen (video/digitale videocamera’s zijn niet toegestaan).
- Bezoekers mogen van 18.00 tot 6.00 uur niet zelfstandig over het eiland rondlopen.

Triple sharing is alleen toegestaan voor kinderen jonger dan 12 jaar met ouders. Als het weer of andere factoren (bijv. een aardverschuiving) een activiteit onveilig maken, zal de Kinabatangan River Lodge het reisschema om veiligheidsredenen aanpassen. Er zal geen restitutie plaatsvinden als een reisroute op de dag zelf moet worden aangepast vanwege veiligheidsredenen.










Gaynor Toft –
We had a fab time in the Turtle Island, Kinabatangan River and Danum Valley tours. All guides were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Accommodation and food were great. We managed to see a whole variety of wildlife so well worth combining the trips. Our highlights were seeing over 20 elephants watering and feeding along the River as well as wild orangutans. Turtle Island also was a great experience and the work they do there to safeguard the future of our the turtle population. Overall a fantastic experience and everything ran smoothly. Thank you 🦧🐘🐊🐒🐢
Yvonne Millington –
We had an amazing time. Our guide in Kinabatangan- Omar – was brilliant at spotting wildlife so thank you so much! We loved the trip and already returning to do another trip one day. Thanks for organising everything so well.
Sarah Wood, UK –
Your guides on both trips were absolutely amazing, everything ran on time, the food was amazing. We all really really enjoyed the trip. The tour guide we had on the turtle island trip, she was brilliant, so much so that other people on the trip thought we’d paid for our own guide. She was full of knowledge and her English was perfect. We had Mohammed as our guide in the jungle, he was very very good. Again, full of knowledge and he looked after us very well. I can’t forget to mention all of the other staff, the chefs, waiting staff etc, everyone was very polite and professional. I have many friends that live in Asia and they have seen my photos and are all asking about my itinerary. I will be sure to recommend your company to them and in fact to anyone else that asks.
Andrew Booker, UK –
Our trip was amazing thanks in no small part to your team, everyone we had contact with was professional, friendly and a credit to your organisation, special mention to Sam for Selingan and especially Mohammed at Kinabantangan who’s ability to spot wildlife is uncanny, we saw wild Orang Utan and pygmy elephant as well as a supporting cast of other primates reptiles and birds. Mohammed also went the extra mile to arrange extra activities on our last day plus we got to meet his beautiful family.
The timings, transport and accommodation were all excellent.
Thanks for a great trip, we would certainly recommend Borneo Dream to anyone visiting Borneo.
Ann Mulloy –
We had a truly amazing time in Borneo and thoroughly enjoyed our Turtle island and Kinabatangan River trip. The whole trip was fantastic and we were looked after tremendously from start to finish.
Watching a nesting turtle was a breath-taking experience. The accommodation on the island although a little basic was indeed more than adequate and the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable, they really seemed to take pride in their work.
Ichy, our guide who met us at Sandakan airport and travelled to turtle island with us was again fantastic, courteous and informative at all times.
The Kinabatangan River trip was another fantastic adventure and again we were looked after from start to finish. Our guide at the lodge, Mohammed deserves a special mention as he really did seem to go that extra mile in ensuring that we saw as much wild life as possible whilst out on our boat each day. He was so informative and genuinely seemed to enjoy his job and spotting the wildlife as much as we did. We saw orangutans, crocodiles, proboscis monkeys and many species of birds.
Karen McCarthy –
Our experience in Borneo was amazing. The guides were great and really knowledgable. Particular mention to Ichi who was fantastic and really good with our children. And Ramzan (in photo) seemed the best guide on the water always first to spot the wildlife.
We were fortunate to see Orangutans and an elephant swim across the river. The welcome was lovely from the ladies at the lodge and the buffet food was excellent and plentiful.
I would definitely recommend your tour company to our friends in the UK.
Leia was very helpful via email before we travelled and always returned our questions promptly.
Overall 5 star experience thank you
Lollybelle85 London, United Kingdom (TripAdvisor) –
Great service – Borneo Dream, in my experience, is a fantastic tour company to use.
From the moment I sent my first email enquiringly about the 4D3N turtle and river tour, they were unbelievably helpful and patient as I dithered about what I wanted to do.
Winnie (the person on the other end of the email) was fabulous. A real asset to your company. Whatever I asked Winnie came back to me quickly and with all the information I needed.
All tour guides/drivers we encountered during our stay were amazing. Clearly love their job and are passionate about what they do.
Turtle Island was a wonderful experience and again everyone who works there was great!
Kinabatangan Nature Lodge is brilliant – totally recommend it – and stay for 2 nights you’ll get so much more out of it.
Our guide at Kinabatangan was called Mohammad and he is brilliant! Great English, sense of humour and very knowledgeable.
I highly recommend this tour company if visiting Borneo.
Thanks for organising such a great trip
robert t Oudenbosch, The Netherlands (TripAdvisor) –
The best you can get! – We have done several excursions with Borneo Dream and Travel Tours.
And everything was perfectly arranged, from the beginning till the end!
They have a great team, which respond to your questions very quickly.
They also think with you, to offer the best experience in Borneo.
We have done Turtle Island & Kinabatangan River | 4 Day | Sabah, Borneo.
This excursion i can recommend to everybody. It is such a amazing experience to witness the turtles on the Island. From laying their eggs on the beaches till releasing the new bornes into the Sea ! I guess a once-in-a-lifetime-experience.
And after this, you will have a great wildlife experience at the Kinabatangan River.
I can keep talking for hours abt. the tour, but just book it and you will have no regrets for sure. Take the extra packages, but esp. LABUK BAY PROBOSCIS MONKEY SANCTUARY. This was such a wonderfull experience as well.
At Kota Kinabalu we took the snorkling excursion at TARP incl. the zipline 🙂
We saw a lot of fish and nice corals, even some sharks ;). Again great to do.
Also we did the Hot springs tour, which we liked, but overall it was such a long day with traveling. Keep in mind you will be traveling a lot of hours on the road. It is a personal choice if this interesting or not for yourself (you spend easily 4-5 hrs in a buss)
We had a great time and if we will travel again to the beautiful Borneo, we will ask them for sure for advice and good excursions !!
Chrystal O (TripAdvisor) –
Amazing trip – The trip was fantastic. One of the best I have been on. Booking through Borneo Dream was easy and the whole process was smooth. It was good to book through Borneo Dream as we did not have any problems along the way with the company who actually took us on tour.
We did the 4D3N tour with Nasarlis Lavartus tours having booked through Borneo Dream. The tour itself was quite simply incredible and all the guides and drivers were superb. They were knowledgeable, kind and made sure we were satisfied at all times. I connected particularly well with Edmundo Jr, who is one of the most passionate people I have ever met and is more than willing to talk your ear off about all things Borneo. Khairul was our guide for our river cruises and he too was great, he had a really good eye for the wildlife which enabled us to spot a wild Orangutan, crocodile, hornbill, macaques, proboscis monkeys and several more, the list goes on. He was entertaining (even at 6am) and made sure that we were satisfied.
Kinabatangan Nature Lodge – All of the staff at Kinabatangan Nature Lodge was so friendly and welcoming; we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The setting was perfect along the banks of the river and staying in the jungle hearing monkeys and other animals around you was an experience in itself. On the river cruise we saw an Orangutan, crocodile, hornbill, macaques, proboscis monkeys and several more, the list goes on.
Thank you so much. I will recommend the company to my friends and family.
Tommy Smith –
It was possibly the best trip I have been on in my travels and I have down quite a few. Everything ran so smooth and your help with flight advice and timings was a big help. The turtle island was something very special and there were only 8 tourists on the island which was perfect. The river cruise and lodge I think we got very lucky as we seen everything, we seen a herd of around 40 Pygmy elephants which was extremely lucky. The guides were friendly and so good at there jobs, our guide at the lodge was called apok and he was awesome. All in all a perfect few days.
Niamh –
We enjoyed the most amazing experience to Turtle Island and to the Kinabatangan River with Borneo Dream and their tour partner Nasalis Larvatus.
Turtle Island is a gem which really needs to be seen to be believed. We saw a turtle lay eggs and also released the baby turtles which had hatched that day to the sea which was a beautiful experience.
We visited the Orangutan and Sun Bear sanctuary on our way to the Kinabatangan River.
During our stay on the River we saw a vast array of wildlife in their natural habitat including many species of monkeys and horn-bills, crocodiles and lots and lots of other creatures. We did not encounter any pigmy elephants which was unfortunate.
The accommodation on Turtle Island was basic but you’re there for the turtles. Don’t be expecting must from it.
The accommodation in the detached chalets in the Kinabatangan Nature Lodge was good, a clean room with en-suite and air conditioning.
The food in both was good and there was lots to go around and enough for seconds!!!
Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and we would recommend this tour.
Yanika and Craig –
We were really impressed by Borneo Dreams. We booked a 4D3N Turtle Island & Kinabatangan River Trip with them. We also asked to add in some extra things, like Gomantong caves, and different departure times and drop off points and they were very accommodating. They replied to emails promptly. The lodge at the river was nice and the guide very knowledgable- we were incredibly lucky to see elephants on all 3 river trips, as well as a saltwater croc, lots of hornbills, proboscis monkeys and a wild Orang-utan. Turtle island was an incredible experience- such a beautiful place and the work they do, conserving the turtles is inspiring.
I would highly recommend this company- we had a guide with us the whole time and everything felt safe and organised
Karin (Switzerland) –
We enjoyed every moment of our 4D3N Turtle Island & Kinabatangan River Trip. The organisation was excellent and the service of Borneo Dream very efficient and helpful.
Both of the guides, Arthur (Seligan) and Mohamad (Kinbatangan) did a great job and we felt in good hands.
Thank you for this great adventure!
Cassie –
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Borneo Dream and Nasalis Larvatus. Borneo Dream were faultless in their customer experience in the run up to our booking the trip. They were always incredibly quick, efficient and patient in answering all of our questions – and we certainly had a fair few before actually clicking that ‘book’ button.
The star of the whole trip was our guide James. He was so knowledgeable, friendly, reliable, approachable and generally really good fun & relaxing to be around. It wouldn’t have been the same without him! I can only hope others will be lucky enough to also have him as their guide, I can’t imagine anyone better?!
During our 4D/3N trip we saw so much wildlife we were really quite spoilt. Turtle Island was a particular highlight, where we were lucky enough to spot 3 natural hatchings on the beach during the day time (This is not a common occurrence!), as well as the turtle laying eggs at night. The Kinabatangan River trip was also magical, the lodges were fabulous and eco-friendly and was a real treat to hear the sounds of the jungle at night. During the river trips an Orangutan in the wild, along with the humorous proboscus monkeys, the crazy macacques, cute silver langures, and so many beautiful birds I wouldn’t even know how to begin naming them (kingfishers & hornbills I do remember!).
I recognise there are other groups offering a similar package but Borneo Dreams really stood out in their highly organised, professional yet incredibly friendly service. And overall it was a trip we will treasure forever 🙂
Ptitsyna Liudmila –
Everything was organized on the best level. Food, premises, excursions, guide, price-quality rate – everything was fine. It was so wonderful to observe the wild animals – proboscis’s monkey, orangutans, birds, turtles and ets. Thank you very much for this opportunity.
Sophie –
My husband and I loved this part of our honeymoon. We saw more wildlife than we dared to dream of; it was a real privilege to see turtles, orangutans and Pygmy elephants in particular! We had a wonderful guide who was entertaining and knowledgeable and the whole experience was wonderful. Would highly recommend.
Nikki Cheetham –
My husband and I had a really brilliant trip organised by Borneo Dream to Turtle Island and the Lower Kinabatangan River. Our guide, Rudy, was professional and fantastically enthusiastic, going the extra mile to ensure we were seeing all the wildlife and helping us to understand what we were seeing. He is a great asset to the company. The entire trip was very well organised.
Ania Jakubowska –
I would like to thank Borneo Dream Travel & Tours and Nasalis Narvatus for perfect organization and effort put to make my tour so interesting and comfortable. I want separately thank to tour guides, Terance on the Turtle Island, and specially Dino at the Kinabatangan river for commitment and great atmosphere. I learnt a lot about Borneo’s wild nature and will take home wonderful memories.
Lady Of Misrule, UK (TripAdvisor) –
Open Water Certification & 4D 3N Jungle Adventure
We took our Open Water Certification with Borneo Dream after doing some research of dive schools in the local area. We settled on them as they had good reviews and good prices. We were not disappointed! Our instructors were really knowledgeable with decades of diving experience between them and doing the course was so much fun! Our confined water dives we did just off Sapi Island in the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, which I was really pleased with, we had tropical fish swimming all around us as we learned the basics, & it felt like a more comfortable transition from learning to actual diving than maybe doing the confined dives in the pool would have been. The dives themselves were really fun, we did 2 on the House Reef and the other 2 in the Coral Garden, different sections each time. Saw a bunch of pufferfish, lionfish, barracuda, stingrays, mantis shrimp, a moray eel and loads of other fish.
We also chose to book with Borneo Dream for a 4D3N tour, which took in a Turtle Sanctuary, where we got to see a Turtle give birth and then some baby turtles released into the wild, which was magical. We initially thought this might be a if you’re lucky kind of situation but it happens every night. And it’s great. Second day we visited the Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary and the Sun Bear Sanctuary in the morning, both of which were awesome, and then went to the Kinabatangan Lodge in the jungle, where we stayed a further 2 nights. During this time we took two sunrise river cruises, two sunset river cruises, 2 night hikes through the jungle and one trek to an Oxbow Lake. This entire experience has been incredible. In the wild we saw Orangutans, Proboscis Monkeys, Silver Langurs, Saltwater Crocodiles, all kinds of birds and spiders and scorpions and generally just had an amazing time. Falling asleep in our bamboo hut listening to the sounds of the rainforest was truly magical. On the last day we visited the Gomantong Caves and we saw a mother and baby Orangutan and some red leaf monkeys as an added bonus to the cave itself, which was immense and really cool.
Big shout out to our Jungle Guide James, who was with us for the whole four days and was an all around great guy. He was really knowledgeable and really friendly and approachable – an amaing guide, we couldn’t have hoped for better.
Really enjoyed both of our experiences – thanks Borneo Dream! 🙂
