Cruise along the Kinabatangan River to spot wild orangutans, pygmy elephants, and proboscis monkeys in their natural habitat. The nearby Gomantong Caves offer impressive limestone formations where you can watch thousands of swiftlets and bats during their evening exodus.

On a trip down the river we came across some wild orang-utans. Such an amazing place with so much wildlife. And only a short hop from the Philippines 😉😂 #BVS100K
