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.
How to organise watching Proboscis Monkeys 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?
If you just want to see the monkeys then you will probably be able to get it for around 60 Ringitts (or less if you have your own transport). However we booked a tour which included other things. Our entire tour cost 150 Ringitts for a 7 hour trip. This includes almost everything.
How do you get there to the wetlands park? This guide will give you directions.
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.
Getting to Klias Wetlands Park should be easy enough - our transport was included in the tour and it usually is. It's in the heart of the jungles of Borneo but this doesn't stop the whole trip being amazing. It makes for an incredible experience even just getting there.
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.
