Borneo’s rainforests hold some of the planet’s rarest wildlife, and this journey brings us face to face with them. Beginning in Kota Kinabalu, we’ll explore the culture of Sabah before heading into Kinabalu National Park for guided treks beneath the canopy, with a stop at the soothing Poring Hot Springs and its thrilling treetop canopy walk. Our journey continues into the heart of the rainforest at Sepilok, where the Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and Sun Bear Conservation Centre offer close encounters with two of Borneo’s most charismatic residents. Cruises along the Lower Kinabatangan River reveal proboscis monkeys, hornbills and crocodiles basking on the banks, while a night-time cruise in search of fireflies adds a touch of magic after dark. Borneo is where ancient rainforest, fascinating culture and extraordinary wildlife sit side by side and offers an unforgettable adventure. You can also add on a three-night stay in Kuala Lumpur at the end of the tour.
