Santubong River Cruise- The rare Irrawaddy Dolphin and intro to “Big Nose” Monkey
The intro into Borneo was nice and easy. A wildlife Cruise down the river at the Santubong Peninsula to see if we can see any wildlife.
This turned into a fantastic time with great scenery….
As we rounded the bend, we noticed jumps in the water and were greeted but a school of Irrawaddy Dolphins and what I believe to be a baby. These Dolphins, not as shy as the Gangetic Dolphins, still move very fast and you have to be on your A Game in order to photograph them….
We got to see a few birds and a saltwater crocodile….
The main attraction on the Cruise was of course the reclusive proboscis monkey. We saw a few of them just sitting up on the trees with not a care in the world while they stuffed their faces. This was a great intro into seeing them as now we know how they move and swing in order to photograph them…
