My girlfriend and I were lucky enough to travel to the Kuching area of Borneo as part of our Malaysia multi centre holiday this March.
After an hours’ drive from the airport we arrived at the little village of Damai, where the Permai Rainforest Resort is located. Straight away we knew we wouldn’t be disappointed. With a mountain backdrop and masses of trees and vegetation, it was a truly stunning setting, like something out of a movie.

As we explored the resort more we came across their fresh water pool, filled with water running off the mountains. It was cold, but very refreshing in the heat. There are two beaches at the resort and I wasn’t too sure what to expect as I hadn’t planned to use this part of the holiday to lie on a beach, but I must say the beach was stunning, like something on a picture postcard.
There were also numerous activities on offer by the resort, from nature walks with or without a guide, flying fox and high ropes, canoeing and stand up paddle boards. They also provide numerous outside excursions, like to the Bako National Park, Satang Island with Dolphin Watching and the Evening Mangrove boat tours, which we opted for (we managed to see the Proboscis monkeys and fire flies). We also went to see the Orangutans at Semenggoh Nature Reserve and was luckily enough to see 4. It’s not all about activities though as these are all optional, so if you prefer to relax, as I mentioned the beaches were fantastic!

There is a little restaurant on site where they provide breakfast, lunch and dinner at some very reasonable prices. The resort also offers Cabins for larger groups or families.
If you like nature and are after something a little different, then this place is for you. We saw some fantastic wildlife, including monkeys, snakes and chameleons to name but a few.
I would certainly recommend the Permai Rainforest, we had such a fantastic experience and wish we could have spent longer there. I would return without hesitation.

Just booked our 3rd holiday with e-shores, yet again a full professional service and insight to the destinations we wanted to visit- no pressurised selling, and if we kept wanting our itinerary changed - Nick Chadwick didn’t mind at all. Easy to deal nothing to much trouble, also arrange everything to the last detail, no way would we contemplate a holiday to Chile, Argentina and Dominion Republic without eShores - thank u

We have recently been on an amazing 3 week holiday to Kuala Lumpur, Borneo and Singapore arranged by Hannah at eshores. Everything went smoothly and we had the perfect holiday. We loved our multi centre trip so much we have booked with Hannah to go to South America. Again the service and support is great and so easy to make tweaks to our itinerary. Looking forward to what I'm sure will be another great holiday. I would definitely recommend eshores.

We just booked our first trip with Nick from eshores and will be heading to Vietnam next April. Nick was very patient and professional. He listened to what we wanted and made changes to package where requested. Nick was very knowledgeable and made the process very easy.

During the booking process, Dave has been brilliant, always very quick to respond and answered all of my very many questions. Our travel is not till next year but, if our tour goes as well as our experience to date, it will be fantastic.
