Overview

If you're looking for an adventure somewhere spiritual, wild and full of natural beauty, this 20-day trip through Borneo might just be for you. Trek through the steamy jungles of Gunung Mulu National Park, relax on the shores of Turtle Island and see the cheeky orangutans in Sepilok reserve. Meet locals from the small villages that sit in the shadow of Mt Kinabalu and look out for the abundant wildlife on your trails, boat journeys and in the jungles you spend a night or two in. This is Borneo!
