      Customer Guidance and Conditions

      Group sizes: tours are limited to 1 per day and 1-6 guests per tour as we aim to reduce potential negative human impacts on the wild gibbons and optimize chances of viewing the gibbons.

      Age limit: we cannot offer Jahoo tours to families with children younger than 10 years old – this is because of the risk of transmission of viruses from children to gibbons. Children of 10 years old or younger might not be able to deal in an appropriate manner with dangerous situations, endure strenuous hiking and follow wildlife-watching protocol such as remaining quiet and calm around the gibbons.

      Accommodation: the Bamboo Camp at Jahoo is a unique destination and includes a dining room & lounge, bathrooms with western-style toilets and showers (not heated), kitchen (with set meal of Asian/Bunong cuisine) and comfortable huts with beds and night-sky view. Staying the night at Jahoo is an experience and provides possibilities of night-safaris and a more relaxed early morning start as you leave the camp at dawn and follow the song of the gibbons to locate them in the forest.

      Physical condition: trekking at Jahoo is physically demanding due to tropical conditions and steep terrain and guests should have a good physical condition to endure hiking in a tropical climate on steep forest trails.

      Clothing: guest should wear comfortable outdoor clothes of neutral colors (avoiding white, red, blue and black). Long trousers and long-sleeved tops are most culturally appropriate and provide best protection against biting insects and stinging plants.

      Health: management retain the right to deny access to the forest any guest displaying symptoms of transmissible diseases (e.g. cold, diarrhoea) that could compromise the safety of endangered wildlife and community staff.

      Behavior: on arrival the guide will explain appropriate and inappropriate forest and gibbon watching behavior including remaining quiet and calm around the gibbons and other wildlife. Guests must follow these guidelines, the Jahoo staff retains the right to stop the tour and return guests to camp if these guidelines are not followed.

      Weather: wildlife watching opportunities can be impacted by the weather. The dry season November-April is on average the best for successful wildlife watching, however, strong dry winds from December to January can make wildlife watching challenging. From May to August, the weather becomes wetter with more rainstorms generally in the afternoon and evenings, which makes hikes and overnight stays at the camp more challenging. September to October is peak rainy season, rain is expected continuously during this period, guests should be well prepared for wet weather during this period.

      Guarantees: There is no 100% guarantee that we will see gibbons or any other wildlife. They are wild animals in a wild environment, we do our best to maximize opportunities for viewing wild animals but cannot guarantee views. Generally, the longer the stay the more opportunities for successful wildlife watching.
