We did a wetlands boat ride, a 10 km kayak trip and a 2 day overnight trip to Bako National Park to see the monkeys and animals and see the sights. The Adventures Alternative Tour Company was quick to organise our tour and arrived on time. The guide was pretty good with English but did little to add much to the first 2 experiences. On the overnighter, he was knowledgable and showed us things we would have missed but seemed somewhat disinterested with us, often walking ahead and taking his own photos without providing information to us unless he was continuously prompted. On the kayak trip he hopped in with the kayak guide and off they went having a grand old time, asking us to follow them without really engaging with the tourists (us). We did feed some fish and had a nice walk around the village of the kayak guide which was nice. Some of the itinerary items (stated in the company emails) we did not do. when we discussed the itinerary with our guide he would often come up with a reason not to do it, like, we don’t do the walk around the village anymore because “the dogs have rabies”, or “the mini cave can’t be access now”. Some of many random reasons. The 2 walks he had planned to take us on were both 600 metre walks which we were aghast at. We found the 3.5 hour walks ourselves and did those with the guide tagging along or often walking ahead. If I did this again I would have organise a grab taxi for all the tours. Once you are at the park it is fairly straight forward. Advantage of the tour is you don’t have to think too hard however when something is wrong it takes effort to fix it.
