Overview

Welcome to the Kinabatangan River, Sabah's longest river and one of Borneo's most important wildlife habitats. This ancient rainforest ecosystem consists of riverine forests, wetlands, and floodplains that support an incredible diversity of wildlife.
Evening cruise offers the best opportunity to observe animals as they become active before sunset. Look out for the iconic Proboscis Monkey, macaques, hornbills, kingfishers, monitor lizards, and crocodiles along the riverbanks. With some luck, you may also spot the endangered Bornean Orangutan or the rare Bornean Pygmy Elephant.
The Kinabatangan serves as a vital wildlife corridor, providing food, water, and shelter for countless species. Every tree, plant, bird, and animal plays an important role in maintaining the balance of this unique ecosystem.
Cruise through this pristine wilderness, enjoy the peaceful surroundings and appreciate the importance of conserving one of Southeast Asia's richest natural treasures for future generations.
