Borneo Tours & Vacations

Anthropologists, adventure-seekers and animal lovers alike are drawn to Borneo’s steamy jungles, blissful mountains, balmy beaches and peaceful villages.

These tropical shores have a glorious diversity. Float down the Kinabatangan River, the most biologically diverse rainforest in the world; see the sun rise over Mt Kinabalu; meet mischievous orangutans in Sepilok; chow down on a tasty laksa or take in the incredible underwater scenery snorkelling in Tunku Abdul National Marine Park. Borneo’s wild bounty awaits.

Sabah Adventure

Emma · Traveled February 2024
Great trip! Fast paced and you will pack a lot in a short amount of time but it's a great way to see what sabah has to offer, don't underestimate the hike. Turtle Island is fantastic and the homestay was really special. Jeffrey was a great leader and Sam was great to book with. Value was good too which so much included. Accomodation is clean and comfortable. Highly recommend this trip!

The Classic Borneo trip was all I was hoping for. Fantastic small group immersed in the local culture and nature of the areas we visited. A fantastic locally born guide who helped make this trip memorable topped it off.
