On a trip down the river we came across some wild orang-utans. Such an amazing place with so much wildlife. And only a short hop from the Philippines 😉😂 #BVS100K

The Last Frontier Boutique Resort

The Last Frontier Boutique Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We had the most incredible stay here! Jason and his team really looked after us from start to finish. Our guide Ryan was extremely knowledgable and made such an effort to ensure we saw as much wildlife as possible; we paid a little extra to do the morning cruise which was 100% worth it. We were also very impressed with the food which was made fresh and tasted delicious. Special thanks again to Jason who was the perfect host full of warmth and great advice. We feel very lucky to have stayed here and can’t recommend this place highly enough. "
