River Junkie Tours Sdn. Bhd. — licensed Kota Kinabalu tour operator (KPL/LN5696), MATTA member, running wildlife safaris, Mount Kinabalu climbs and cave trips across Sabah and Sarawak since 2008.
River Junkie Tours Sdn. Bhd. was founded in 2008 by a group of outdoor enthusiasts in Kota Kinabalu who wanted travellers to see the wild side of Borneo the way locals do. We are a licensed tour operator (KPL/LN5696) and a member of MATTA, and we own Hornbill Lodge on the Kinabatangan River.
Fifteen years on, we still do what we set out to do: run well-organised trips across Sabah and Sarawak with expert local guides, fair and transparent pricing, and the advice and freedom you need to plan your perfect Borneo trip.
