hello, fully agree with PutneySW! You will not see much wildlife there but the hotel his spacious an beautiful to walk around. Just for your info the Borneo Rain Forest Lodge, far way and also much more expensive... have a part of canopy that can do in wheelchair! And it is a big, true and "scary" canopy (very high :-) ) Very nice! Enjoy! You will love Borneo!
