This is not just a ‘business’, it is a passion! Jason and Gert are sharing a piece of the rainforest to help travelers experience wildlife, insects and plants in their natural habitat. Jason and Gert have created a safe and relaxing environment for all guests to experience true nature. The cabin has wood walls and floors - simple design and furnishings, and so comfortable. There are 2 chairs on the balcony, outside of each room, to enjoy the local flora and fauna. The daily schedule is designed for 2 nights, but we wanted some additional quiet time in the jungle so stayed for 4 nights. Jason made sure that we received different meals for lunch and dinner - he really works to make all meals special! The banana pancakes with homemade caramel sauce is phenomenal! The dining room (with ceiling fans) is also a place that you can hang out - have a coffee, read, play cards, visit and/or observe your surroundings. There is always a pitcher of cold and refreshing water waiting for you. There is a terrace off the dining room (no fans) with benches and small tables - great to look out over the landscape. We went on an amazing evening boat cruise every evening (included in the package). The optional sunrise river cruise starts at 5:30 am - beautiful and quiet (additional small fee). During our cruises, our guide/captain Rodel helped us find Pygmy elephants, crocodiles, hornbills, kingfishers, Silver Leaf monkeys, Proboscis monkeys and macaque monkeys. We absolutely loved our time on the Kinabatangan River! Jason, Gert and staff are so calm, friendly and informative. A once in a lifetime experience/place to enjoy nature and learn about/observe amazing Borneo animals in the wild!

We loved our 2 nights and 3 days stay at Bilit Adventure Lodge. We had a great time and total disconnect from rest of the world like no social medias, no internet, no tvs…however it’s possible you can purchase 1G at lodge but we didn’t by purpose since we had such a jungle, remote and nature experience. So sad coming back to civilization after 3 days…Anyways, we would love to shout out to our guide ROBERT who did our trip to Kinabatangan so special and memorable. He was so professional, knowledgeable of wild life, life encoglephia, birds, spotting and caring person that we already so much respect to him and appreciate more than a lot. Thank you so much Robert for your kindness and caring for us those days since we met at airport and drop off airport. Now little bit our experience at lodge, we had 1st day boat trip through river, got spotted many birds, crocodiles, monitors and etc…then night jungle walking is great experience also. Next morning boat trip was so emotional that we’ve seen Sunrise, many more wild life’s including proboscis monkeys ets…then next evening boat trip…just wonderful. What a day…we spotted 7 elephants along with many birds species and crocodile etc. How thankful for this trip…just amazing…even just around walking lodge already we have a lots of monkeys, birds and giants butterflies…and at last we would like to say Thank you to all the stuffs at Bilit Lodge and specially for our guide Robert!!!

The 2 nights, 3 days I stayed here were some of the best days of my life! Absolutely incredible - we went for the nature and were not disappointed - we saw the Borneo Big 5 plus TONS more. Our guide Ryan was the best - his eagle eye and determination meant we were able to see all this. The staff were super friendly and catered for my vegan diet, accommodation is very basic but this is perfect for a few days off the grid, rooms were clean and comfy we even had a large Gecko for company :)

Our stay in the Borneo Jungle Adventure lodge was nothing short of spectacular! From the seamless pick-up and drop-off from Sandakan to the incredible activities arranged by the lodge, every detail was perfect. The lodge itself was well-equipped and comfortable, and we were thrilled to find reliable WiFi in the common area. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the river cruises, expertly guided by Linda and her team. Their knowledge and dedication were evident, and they went above and beyond to ensure we saw the best wildlife the region has to offer, including the elusive Big 5. Linda's passion and expertise truly enhanced our experience, making each cruise an adventure to remember. A special mention goes to the food – the best Malaysian home-cooked meals we’ve ever had! The lodge graciously accommodated our vegetarian request, and every meal was a delightful culinary experience. This stay comes highly recommended for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the beauty of Borneo's jungle while enjoying excellent hospitality and thrilling wildlife adventures. Thank you to Linda and the entire team for making our stay unforgettable!
