Borneo tours - Sabah and Sarawak

Why be forced to travel according to other people's preferences when you can create a Borneo holdiay that is designed with your ideas in mind? By picking your favourite Borneo tours, you can create your ideal trip. Naturally you can also combine them with our Malaysia tours. There is one difference between modules in these two areas; during the Borneo tours (modules) you'll travel in small, international groups of a maximum of 12 people. This allows us to keep our prices reasonable for these modules. As far as transport is concerned, the most interesting areas in Borneo are somewhat spread out and difficult to reach by road. That is why we suggest booking cheap Malaysia Airlines or Air Asia flights in between the Borneo tours in Malaysia. We can make reservations for you on these flights prior to your departure. Let our friendly Borneo travel specialists help you create your ideal Borneo adventure -we're only a phone call or email away.

Prices below are valid until 31st October 2012, are based on two people travelling and exclude international flights. Prices for departures beyond this date and for international flights are available on request. For departures during peak seasons (e.g. summer holidays, Christmas and New Year) supplements may apply.
