While witnessing wildlife in their natural habitat provides a unique experience, getting a glimpse of the endemic wildlife along the river cruise such as Borneo Pygmy Elephants is sheer chance (as this herd of pygmies migrate regularly to search for feeding ground. Also, they are wild!) . Yet, if you are eager to tick off your checklist to see the relatively smallest elephant in the world while you are lodging here, it can be arranged upon request. Additional fees may be charged for this cruise trip*.
*We have four fixed routes in our river cruise. Additional charges (for fuel) may be charged if elephant sightings are further away from the routes.
