1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

Meeting David Attenborough, but that wasn't on the itinerary. I can't pick one particular moment out the whole trip was an adventure from start to finish

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?

We received a comprehensive package of advice from Odyssey World that covered just about everything. This was a fast paced holiday and we did not have any shopping excursions so you need to have everything you will need with you. You also need to understand what you are getting yourself into. This felt more like an adventure or expedition than a holiday; but that's what we wanted.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?

I would say yes, In particular the Borneo Rainforest Lodge and Lankayan Island had gone to some trouble to minimise their impact on the environment and the evidence to support this was clearly visible. I have been professionally involved in Environmental matters and I was impressed by what I saw.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?

One of the best that we have ever had, in over 30 years of fairly adventurous travelling. I would give it 5 stars against my own criteria.

Finishing on a high note, it really was an adventure, something that I will remember for the rest of my life.
