Worth a visit - nice sightings, comfortable stay
踏缤野生动物保护区的点评
点评：Overall we had a good experience at Tabin.
There are both river and hill lodges available. the river lodges are on a flat walkway along the small river onsite. The hill lodges are further down the walkway, up a few sets of stairs and overlook a small pool that the river flows into. We ended up in one of the hill lodges. I read a lot of reviews calling the rooms "basic". No it is not a Hilton, the lodge is in the middle of the forest, I am not sure what some travellers expect but in my opinion the rooms were nice - comfortable and clean. WiFi is available in the dining/common area but not in the rooms however we had cell signal (albeit not great) in our room.
The food was served buffet style and had a decent amount of variety. For vegetarian meals they will bring you a separate dish of some sauteed veggies and seitan. While it was not bad it was kind of repetitive as it was prepared exactly the same for each meal. However there are were also some vegetarian options in the main buffet (sauteed veggies. noodles, rice) so I felt there was enough variety. Coffee, tea, water, juice (for breakfast) are free. Soda, alcoholic drinks (and coffee from the espresso machine after breakfast) are available for additional cost.
The activities were hit or miss in my opinion but you can't control what wildlife will be out and any tour like this requires a bit of luck. We stayed 4D, 3N and felt it was the right amount of time. Days started off with a morning hike on the trails near the lodge followed by breakfast then a late morning drive or activity. There was a long break in the middle of the day for lunch/leisure time.. In the late afternoon there was another activity or drive followed by dinner and then a night walk or drive.
On the hikes around the lodge we saw gibbons and some birds but not really a whole lot of wildlife. On the daytime drives we saw lots of eagles, some hornbills and a few other types of birds but many were far/hard to see so binoculars were a must. We also saw macaques and some squirrels. The drives in the dark in my opinion were much better as we saw several kinds of civets, leopard cats, flying squirrels, a porcupine, eagles, etc. The drives are all up and down the same road which is the road used to access the lodge from Lahud Datu and is bordered by forest on one side and palm plantation on the other. Some in our group were frustrated that the drives were all on the same road but most of the mammal sightings were on the side of the palm plantation so I would guess the reasoning is it is easier to spot animals.
Other activities outside of the hikes and drives included a hike to the Mud Volcano, hike to /swim in a waterfall, trip to the Visitor Center and a mud mask/foot soak.
The waterfall swim was a highlight. We were lucky enough to see a family of otters swimming in the pool when we arrived. It was nice and refreshing to take a swim after hiking in the heat.
The foot soak was a little random I felt but it was nice after all the walking and I liked that we were able to try the mud from the volcano as a skin mask.
The Mud Volcano hike I could have done without. I know it is one of the major marketing points for Tabin but I was underwhelmed. It was a 30 min hot hike to the volcano which was hardly bubbling and had no wildlife. You could see the footprints of animals. I am not sure if there are ever wildlife sightings there but I got the impression that there are not.
The biggest thing I did not care for was the Visitor Center and a lot of it was the timing. I am not sure if it was due to the timing of the arrival of everyone in our group but we went to the Visitor Center on the afternoon of our 3rd day which was the day before we were due to leave. It felt like an activity that should have been done first thing since it talks a lot about what to expect at the lodge and the wildlife so it felt kind of weird after we had basically done all the activities and completed our stay. We were also shown a video that I don't think there was any point to show and it was a waste of time in my opinion. It was basically a marketing video with people talking about how great the lodge is to entice people to visit - well were already there so I don't know why we need to watch a video meant to sell us on visiting.
The highlight of our trip was a visit to Orangutan Corner which apparently is not something that is done very often. This is the location were orangutans are released after rehabilitation at the Sepilok center. We were able to have a very close experience with a mother and baby orangutan here and it was the only spotting on our trip so it was very exciting for us. Additionally, I appreciated the guide talking about the rehab process at Sepilok and how they determine whether the orangutan can be released and how they monitor to determine their success in the wild. This is the kind of information I wish the visitor center had because it was very interesting to learn about.
Overall we had a good stay, we had some nice sightings, food was good, room was nice, guides were good, activities were hit or miss but for us it was worth visiting.

翻译：总的来说，我们在塔宾酒店度过了一段美好的时光。
酒店有河边小屋和山间小屋两种选择。河边小屋位于酒店内一条沿着小河的平坦步道上。山间小屋则位于步道更远处，需要爬几级台阶，才能俯瞰河流汇入的一个小水池。我们最终入住了其中一间山间小屋。我读到很多评论说房间“简陋”。不，这不是希尔顿酒店，小屋位于森林深处。我不确定有些旅客的期望是什么，但在我看来，房间很不错——舒适干净。餐厅/公共区域有WiFi，但房间里没有。不过，我们的房间里有手机信号（虽然信号不太好）。
食物是自助餐形式，种类丰富。素食者会单独上一份炒蔬菜和面筋。虽然菜品还不错，但有点重复，因为每顿饭的菜都一模一样。不过，主自助餐里也有一些素食选择（炒蔬菜、面条、米饭），所以我觉得种类足够了。咖啡、茶、水、果汁（早餐）都是免费的。苏打水、酒精饮料（以及早餐后用浓缩咖啡机煮的咖啡）需要额外付费。
在我看来，这些活动时好时坏，但你无法控制野生动物的出现，任何这样的旅行都需要一点运气。我们住了4天3夜，觉得时间安排得刚刚好。每天早上，我们先在小屋附近的小路上徒步，然后吃早餐，再在上午晚些时候开车或参加活动。中午有一段较长的休息时间，可以享用午餐/休闲时光。傍晚时分，我们又参加了一次活动或开车，之后吃晚餐，最后是夜间散步或开车。
在小屋周围徒步旅行时，我们看到了长臂猿和一些鸟类，但野生动物并不多。在白天的驾车旅行中，我们看到了许多鹰、一些犀鸟和其他几种鸟类，但很多都离得很远/很难看到，所以双筒望远镜是必备的。我们还看到了猕猴和一些松鼠。在我看来，黑暗中的驾车旅行效果更好，因为我们看到了几种麝香猫、豹猫、鼯鼠、豪猪、鹰等等。所有的驾车路线都沿着同一条路上下行驶，这条路是从拉胡德·达图通往旅馆的，一边是森林，另一边是棕榈种植园。我们团队中的一些人对所有的驾车路线都在同一条路上感到不满，但大多数哺乳动物的目击地点都在棕榈种植园那边，所以我猜是因为这样更容易发现动物。
除了徒步和驾车旅行之外，我们还进行了其他活动，包括徒步前往泥火山、徒步前往/在瀑布游泳、参观游客中心以及做泥面膜/泡脚。
瀑布游泳是一大亮点。我们很幸运，到达时还看到了一群水獭在水池里游泳。在炎热的天气里徒步后，游泳真是太棒了，令人神清气爽。
我觉得泡脚有点随意，但在走了这么多路之后，泡脚感觉很棒，而且我很高兴我们能尝试用火山泥做面膜。
泥火山徒步我本来可以不去。我知道这是塔宾的主要宣传点之一，但我感觉很失望。去火山的徒步要30分钟，天气很热，火山几乎没有冒泡，也没有野生动物。你可以看到动物的脚印。我不确定那里是否有野生动物出没，但我感觉好像没有。
我最不喜欢的是游客中心，很大程度上是因为时间安排。不知道是不是因为我们团队所有人到达的时间都差不多，我们第三天下午去了游客中心，也就是出发前一天。感觉这项活动应该提前做，因为里面详细介绍了旅馆的设施和野生动物，所以在我们基本玩完所有活动、结束住宿后才去看。我们还看了一段视频，我觉得没什么意义，纯粹是浪费时间。这基本上就是一个营销视频，人们在宣传旅馆有多好，以此来吸引人们——毕竟我们已经去过了，所以我不知道为什么还要看一个推销视频。
我们这次旅行的亮点是参观了猩猩角，这显然不常见。猩猩在西必洛中心康复后会被放归到那里。我们在这里与一对猩猩妈妈和宝宝近距离接触，这也是我们此行唯一一次看到它们，所以非常兴奋。此外，我非常感谢导游讲解西必洛的康复过程，以及他们如何决定猩猩是否可以放归，以及如何监测它们在野外的存活率。我希望游客中心也能提供这样的信息，因为了解这些信息非常有趣。
总的来说，我们住得很愉快，看到了一些美景，食物很好，房间很舒适，导游很棒，虽然活动时好时坏，但对我们来说，还是值得一游。
