GIVING BACK WHILE YOU TRAVEL

You will also be part of something much greater as your travel will help to fund our community and social projects in Malaysian Borneo through our non-profit organisation, BEST Society.

HOW?

Every international adult guest who purchases a Sukau Rainforest Lodge package will contribute RM20 to Conservation Contribution.
On top of that, Borneo Eco Tours and Sukau Rainforest Lodge will also contribute RM8 and RM4 respectively to BEST Society.
Indirectly, you are helping to fund a total of RM32 contribution for conservation and at the same time, playing your part in the offsetting of carbon footprint.
