Accommodation is clean and well maintained - however, very basic. Bringing along a sleeping bag is not necessary, but you may do so for extra comfort.
Overnight necessities such as Towels, Bedding & Blankets will be provided during your stay. We encourage travellers to travel light.
Food is of good quality. Do take note that it is prepared locally by the local people, so there are limitations if you have special dietary requirements.
Climbing Batu Punggul is quite challenging and is not recommended if you are unfit or have a fear of heights. Climbing is at the individual’s own risk and Amazing Borneo accepts no responsibility for those who choose to make the climb. Anyone who decides not to climb may still enjoy swimming in the beautiful river below.

Departure time is approximate and varies from different hotels due to traffic conditions, please reconfirm with our staffs. Should the transport be delayed, please call the relevant telephone number as stated on the voucher before making alternative arrangements.
Tipping is like giving a hug. Although it’s never expected, it’s always very much appreciated.
Make sure you always have enough dry bags and think about ways of keeping your equipment dry as the rainforest can be quite unpredictable and wet items will be extremely hard to dry or air out.
