Product Description

Situated in the countryside, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, we are located on the banks of the Klias River in the centre of Klias Wetland. Unlike Sukau, on the east coast of Sabah, which is the well established area for the wildlife safari cruise, Kota Klias is newly discovered and most importantly it is easily accessible all year round and is connected with 100 kilometers of good road. You can travel south of Kota Kinabalu by train to Beaufort before catching a bus to Kota Klias or the conventional way by coach which will take only one and half hours.The Attraction of Borneo Proboscis River LodgeOn arriving, you will be walking into a traditional native village setting with a huge grass compound planted with many fruit trees including some towering well over 200 feet which is one of the world's largest species of fruit tree. There are many different types of 'Kampong' houses, built on stilts with bamboo walls and thatched palm leaf roofs(atap) including a large dinning lounge over the river.

Klias Wetlands is strategically located near Pulau Tiga, the "Survivor Series" island, the duty free island of Labuan (catch a ferry from Menumbok town), the Padas River where you can go on a grade 3 or 4 white water rafting ride (catch a train from Beaufort) and also on the way when you drive on the scenic road to the state of Sarawak and the Kingdom of Brunei (Bandar Seri Begawan).
