One Last Amazing Ride On the Kinabatangan

Experience the magic of the Kinabatangan River in Sabah, Borneo! 🐘🦧 This unforgettable 2.5-hour boat safari was absolutely packed with wildlife. Join us as guide Tom leads us to spot wild Pygmy elephants, elusive orangutans, unique Proboscis monkeys, and stunning hornbills. This river trip near Sukau, Malaysia, is truly overflowing with life! 🌅

We truly are spoiled by our friend Osman, who knows the Kinabatangan River like the back of his hand. Osman often works with major nature documentary film crews because he knows exactly where to find the incredible biodiversity that calls this area home.

Whenever we visit Sabah for diving or to see friends, we always make a point to stay with Osman and his family at their secret homestay. This video captures a single, fantastic evening tour with his brilliant son, Tom, who is an expert guide in his own right.
