If you're staying in Sabah in Malaysia on the island of Borneo, it's highly likely you'll have heard of proboscis monkeys. They are wild, they live in the jungle and they have long noses. But more importantly they are native to the island of Borneo (Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam and Indonesia). This is the only place on planet earth that you can see them outside a zoo. It's worth doing, and naturally it's a popular touristy thing to do.
How to organise watching Proboscis Monkeys in Borneo.
There are lots of companies offering these types of tours in Borneo so it will be easy enough to organise. If you are a really tight budget backpacker then you could realistically hitchhike or hire a car and drive out to Beaufort Town yourself then try to blag onto one of the boats that take you to where the proboscis monkeys are. I really don't recommend it.
What price is it to see the Proboscis 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.
Normally mini-bus presents the best way to do it. The bus collects you and is a perfect option for everybody as you go together to the park. This makes it easy to organise and everything runs smoothly for the travelling tourist.
It is an easy enough trip and the price is included. It is a fantastic thing to organise and everyone raves about it. Getting out there is also a beautiful trip as you venture through the jungles of rural Borneo - the Malaysian part.
What is watching Proboscis Monkeys in Borneo all about?
They are wild monkeys with long noses and long tails they live in the jungle. You will see them hanging from trees, sitting on trees and swinging from tree to tree. It's all exactly as you imagined monkey life to be. This is a well recommended trip. There are also crocodiles so stay alert and have your cameras ready to catch them in action.
