What sets it apart
Built as one of Borneo's first true eco-lodges, Sukau Rainforest Lodge earned its reputation on operations others copied later: electric boat motors for silent cruising, rainwater and solar systems, boardwalks that keep feet off the forest floor, and deep community employment. Its hornbill-named villas face the river; the celebrated Gomantong Rainforest Boardwalk loops behind the lodge for between-cruise wildlife on foot. Elephants famously walk through the grounds when herds pass — the lodge built its boardwalks high partly for that reason.
