Important Notes (Please Read Carefully)

This is a nature-based experience. Wildlife sightings (including proboscis monkeys, fireflies, and other species) depend on natural factors such as weather, tides, and animal movement. Each trip is unique, and sightings cannot be guaranteed.

We kindly ask guests to refrain from leaving negative reviews based solely on limited wildlife sightings, as these are beyond our control.

We work closely with local communities to support environmental conservation, including ongoing river clean-up initiatives through our tours.

Tours may proceed in light rain. In the event of unsafe conditions (such as lightning or strong currents), the itinerary may be adjusted or rescheduled for safety.

This is a shared (SIC) tour. Group size, timing, and site conditions may vary.
