Borneo

Borneo shares an island with Sabah and Sarawak, Indonesian Kalimantan and the tiny nation of Brunei. Home of ancient rainforests, pygmy elephants, critically endangered orangutans and clouded leopards, Borneo is blessed with a plethora of flora and fauna. Explore humid jungles on eco tours, take longboat trips up-river and appreciate the abundance of pitcher plants, orchids and vibrant rhododendrons in this land of biodiversity. Mountain biking is a surreal experience as you pedal across swinging bridges embracing the unpolluted air and glorious scenery in the foothills of Mount Kinabalu. Trekking in the Kawang Forest Reserve is not for the faint-hearted, tackling steady uphill trails and abseiling down waterfalls. Caving and navigating underwater rivers is another aspect of Borneo’s diverse appeal for outdoor adventurers. Finally, take time to relax and reflect on Borneo’s hidden beaches. The extensive coastline is the chance to swim with turtles or snorkel and dive around famed Sipadan Island. That’s Borneo at its best!
