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

Jo-Anne · Traveled March 2024
An amazing adventure in Sabah Borneo led by excellent guide Nostalia and assistant ChiChi. Mt Kinabalu was definitely very challenging but we all made it! It’s a short hike but extremely demanding! The wildlife is unbelievable and several species endemic to Sabah. The home stay was unique and welcoming. Loved Turtle Island Marine Park & the Orangutan & Sun Bear Sanctuaries at Sepilok. If you are looking for adventure and fun book this trip. You will not regret it!

An all round awesome trip! Thus was amplified by our tour guide Nastalia. A well organised and oiled machine which enabled us to efficiently see so much.

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!
