All the rooms have private bathrooms, ceiling fan (no air-con) and hot showers. It takes roughly 1 hours boat ride from Sandakan.

Birds, monkeys such as Silvered langur, Maroon langur, Hose langur, Wild orang-utan are almost always spotted here. The night cruise to see fire flies as Christmas tree is a real highlight of your visit.

This project is monitored to ensure that all the villagers get the benefits from it. At the same time, the villagers have the opportunity to get in touch with tourists and learn about different cultures.
