Tour Details

Facilities

The food at Borneo Eagle Resort abides by a farm-to-table philosophy, in which the best of local produce takes pride of place. Organic fish and vegetables from the resort owner’s farms on the mainland of Sabah feature on the menu, as do other fresh seasonal produce. Our team of skilled local chefs turns these celebrated ingredients into hearty, mouth-watering dishes infused with Asian or Western flavors. Being exclusive and small we emphasize creating menus for the individual rather than the masses.

The Eagle’s Nest Restaurant - Fresh and Organic Western and Asian style dishes
The stunning open-air beachfront setting of our modern restaurant is magical. The Eagles Nest specializes in refined, modern, western, and Asian-style dishes. The concept is to use only the freshest produce from our own gardens and farms. The menu changes daily in accordance with what is available in the market.

The Landing Bar - Romantic setting ideal for drinks
The romantic setting of The Landing Bar is ideal for drinks before or after dinner. With its elevated level, one can take advantage of the stunning view of Mt. Kinabalu.

The Sand Bar - Casual bar by the pool and sand
As the sun sinks into the South China Sea, the Sand Bar by the pool and sand spit is the perfect spot to relish the beauty of our little pocket of paradise. Casual and relaxed, this bar offers a range of refreshing cocktails, spirits, beers all day, and light poolside meals for lunch.

Private Dining and Functions
Our restaurants and bars offer fresh and delightful meals and drinks that cater to your needs for comfortable in-room dining or private celebration. You may also host a special and private function or gathering at Borneo Eagle Resort that gives a wonderful experience of your lifetime.

Echo Wellness Spa
An oasis of calm, a temple of relaxation, this is the promise of Bungaraya Island Resort’s luxurious Echo Wellness Spa,where treatment is held right in your very own villa.

Infinity Pool
Infinity Pool at Borneo Eagle boasts unimpeded views of the horizon – an ideal spot to relax and while away the time, Topples and snacks can be ordered from the nearby restaurant.

Recreational Activities

Borneo Eagle Resort offers a range of activities that cater to guests who seek soft adventure, and those who prefer to simply sit back and soak in all that this destination has to offer.

Island Trekking
There are 3 hiking trails to choose from on this island and two volcanic mud pools on the island. One is 0.5km from our main building and the other is 3.5km. Trekking is permitted with a guide.

Kayaking
Enjoy the warm azure sea in an ocean kayak, and make it a friendly race while you’re at it with a companion or even a member of our staff.

Snorkeling
Those not intent on diving can choose to snorkel instead to discover the diverse marine life of the South China Sea. You expected to see Clownfish, Parrot Fish, Angel Fish, Bat Fish, different species of starfish and sea cucumbers, and seahorses dancing around sea grass beds.

Diving
Beneath the aquamarine waters surrounding Pulau Tiga Island are undersea creatures big and small, from the clownfish and snapper to the pufferfish, sea turtle, lobsters, and even the whale shark.

There are also options where clients can choose to do overnight tours to the Kinabatangan River as an Overnight tour (Sandakan, East Coast of Sabah), an opportunity to Sabah’s wildlife.

Kelias River Cruise
South of Kota Kinabalu and near the town of Beaufort, the Klias wetlands is an eco-destination sure to intrigue nature lovers. The lush mangrove forest reserve teems with creatures big and small, the most famous of them being the infamous probosci's monkey, Borneo’s largest primate distinguished by its pendulous nose, big round belly and light golden brown fur coat. In addition to having the largest proboscis monkey population, the wetlands are also home to macaques and the rare silvery langur monkey. One could even spot crocodiles, monitor lizards, tree snakes and all kinds of birds. When night falls, the forest comes alive with luminous fireflies.

Kinabalu Park National Park and Poring Hot Spring
Malaysia’s first Unesco World Heritage Site is Kinabalu Park in Kundasang, about 90km from the city of Kota Kinabalu. Within this park, which spans more than 75,000ha, stands Borneo and Malaysia’s highest peak, the majestic Mt Kinabalu, visible on clear days from anywhere in the park. A wide range of habitat features here, from rich tropical lowland and hill rainforest to tropical mountain forest, sub-alpine forest and shrub on the higher elevations. The park has also been designated a Centre of Plant Diversity for Southeast Asia, as it is exceptionally rich in species with examples of flora from the Himalayas, China, Australia, Malaysia, as well as pan-tropical flora. Visitors come here to enjoy the cool mountain air and feast their eyes on breathtaking views of valleys and mountain range – it is truly a sight for sore eyes. A trip here is sure to refresh soul and spirit.

Sepilok Orang Utan and Labuk Bay
The Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary offers another perfect Proboscis monkeys observation spot for any tourist who wants to have a closer look at these very special monkeys especially those who do not have the time to travel too far away to watch them. The Sanctuary is located at the center of the mangrove forest along with the coastal land near Samawang Village in Labuk Bay, Sandakan, Sabah. From the airport, it is 38km away and takes about an hour to get there. Part of the trip will be through the graveled roads through plantation estates.

Sandakan Safari Adventure
Pick-up from hotel lobby/resort lounge and send to Kota Kinabalu Airport for your flight (recommended ETD 0700hrs). On arrival at Sandakan Airport, you will be met by a guide and proceed to Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre. We proceed to watch a video show about the plight of the Orang Utans and the rehabilitation efforts ongoing at the Centre. Walk ten minutes through the rainforest on wooden boardwalks to witness the feeding of the Orang Utans at 1000hrs, and then we continue to the newly completed enclosed nursery area for young Orang Utans. Thereafter visit the Borneo Sun Bear Conservation Centre to learn about the conservation of the world’s smallest bear.

The trip might have been the absolute best of our lifetime (thus far). We particularly want to commend our guide Peter in the Guilin area-he was so incredibly attentive, energetic, enthusiastic-and absolutely dedicated to ensuring that our meals were 100% vegetarian.
