Watching Proboscis Monkeys In Borneo

By Jonny Blair


If you visit Sabah in Malaysia in Borneo, it's probable that you will have heard of these proboscis monkeys. Wild, long nosed monkeys who live in the jungles of Borneo. They are only found in Borneo so this is a rare and unique chance to see them. The only other place they exist is in a zoo.

Best way to organise monkey watching in Borneo

You can find companies offering these tours in Kota Kinabalu. I have met tons of so called "budget backpackers" over the years who insist that booking through tour companies is always dearer - it's often not and your best way to see the proboscis monkeys is to book it through a company. But make sure they include hostel pick up, food, proboscis monkey boat tour and fireflies boat tour. It's easy to organise - find a company, agree a price and get your tickets.

How much do you pay to watch these monkeys?

Overall you should expect to pay around 60 Ringitts. This includes almost everything you need on the tour such as boats, transport there and back and of course the afternoon tea and the buffet dinner. It is a really good trip well worth booking!

What is the best way to get to the Monkey Park? How can we get out there?

Normally mini-bus presents the best way to do it. The bus collects you and is a perfect option for everybody as you go together to the park. This makes it easy to organise and everything runs smoothly for the travelling tourist.

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!

As well as the crazy styled Proboscis monkeys, you can see all sort of other monkeys. If you even cross the border into Indonesian Borneo, you can see the orange coloured Orang-Utans in their natural habitat. The monkey tours in Borneo remain a highlight for many travellers and backpackers.

At the end of the tour you can also eat in a buffet dinner on the boat or by a restaurant beside the river. Overall, the monkey experience of Borneo is quite brilliant and worth travelling out to. You may never get another chance in life to see such curious wild monkeys in the wild. Have a safe and enjoyable trip out there everybody and happy travels to each and everyone of you.
