When you decide to head to Sabah, which is a Malaysian part of Borneo you will be sure to hear about the Proboscis monkeys and want to visit them and see them live in the jungle. This is the only place you can see them in their native habitat in the world so it is worth doing.
Best way to organise monkey watching in Borneo
You'll have guessed that Borneo has lots of jungles and therefore lots of tour companies organising these monkey trips (and Orang Utan ones). To book a trip to watch the proboscis monkeys, you are better to book it through a tour company. If you're staying in the city of Kota Kinabalu like me, just pop into one of the many tour operators in town and book it.
How much does watching Proboscis Monkeys in Borneo cost?
Generally it is around 60 Ringitts. This cost also included the fireflies, the transport to and from the hostel, the boats, afternoon tea and a full dinner. We also ate our breakfast at the hostel that day (included in our hostel price) but as it's all you can eat you can get by without eating anything else that day - the afternoon tea and evening dinner is enough.
What is the best way to get to the Monkey Park? How can we get out there?
Transport was comfortable and efficient and all included in the tour. It was a small mini-bus we got. It took us from Kota Kinabalu to the venue.
The trip price should include the transport which makes it all easy enough to organise. In general it's not too difficult and can be suitable for adults, pensioners and children. Most people love it!
What is watching Proboscis Monkeys in Borneo all about?
You arrive at Klias Wetlands Park and have you afternoon tea (this includes buffet food). Then you put on your lifejackets and board the boat. Your guide on the boat will alert you when the proboscis monkeys are viewable but you ail more than likely see them yourself. You will also see crocodiles. The boat tour will last around an hour and just before it gets dark you will be taken to a riverside restaurant for a buffet dinner. That's really all there is to it!
