A holiday to Borneo promises world-famous wildlife, teeming jungles and exquisite beaches View All Borneo Holidays

Malaysian Borneo unfurls across the northern half of the world’s third-largest island, revealing a land of untamed jungles, mist-shrouded peaks and shimmering coastline. On a Borneo holiday, you’ll get a first-hand look into some of the oldest rainforests on Earth, where the calls of proboscis monkeys echo through the trees and coral-fringed islands glimmer offshore. 

As pioneers in alternative travel since 1970, our Travel Specialists know exactly how to ensure your holiday to Borneo goes beyond the usual stops, with authentic experiences included throughout.

So, where to start? Walk along the 300-metre canopy walkway in the remote Danum Valley Conservation Area, where orangutans swing through the trees. Then, explore the mud volcanoes and secret trails of Tabin Wildlife Reserve; or drift along the Kinabatangan River, spotting hornbills, crocodiles, and, if luck is on your side, pygmy elephants.

Marine life thrives here, too. Our Borneo package holidays can take you to the Gaya or Lankayan Islands, where you can snorkel and dive among vibrant reefs alive with hawksbill and green turtles, dazzling fish, and, when in season, majestic whale sharks. If it’s orangutans that draw you here, you’re in good company. We proudly support Orangutan Appeal UK, linked to Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre, which protects and rehabilitates these endangered icons.

Our Borneo holiday packages, whether tailor-made itineraries, group tours or honeymoons, are all created by genuine experts with unrivalled knowledge in the world’s lesser-travelled areas. Our team knows every detail inside out and will take care of all arrangements, from permits to internal transfers and local guides, so you can focus on digging deeper into this incredibly biodiverse country.

Active travellers shouldn’t miss the opportunity to climb Mount Kinabalu - it’s the perfect finale to an incredible holiday spent searching for wildlife in the jungles. Whilst it might not be a technically challenging climb, the route certainly offers a physical challenge. But then, standing at 4,000m to watch the sun rise over the ocean and gaze across the rainforest from above, it’s so worth it and an experience you’ll never forget.

Stef's Tips
1
In Kota Kinabalu jump on the North Borneo railway - a colonial-era steam train that chuggs through the countryside.
2
Take a trip down the Kinabatangan river on the look-out for proboscis monkeys, macaques, pygmy elephants, snakes and crocodiles.
3
Join the locals at the bustling “Top Spot” food hall in Kuching, where the seafood is plentiful, delicious and great value.
