Holidays in Borneo

Malaysian Borneo is a remote jungle-covered island with traditional tribes and stunning wildlife just waiting to be explored. Compared to Western Malaysia, Borneo is a completely different world and the place to see rare proboscis monkeys and orang-utans in the wild. While you're there why not visit some of the best dive sites in the world?

Our holidays in Borneo are independent itineraries that we've created by stringing together a selection of our bite-sized Borneo tours. We have carefully selected small-scale, well-maintained and authentic accommodation that best reflects the character of the area. In many places you'll stay in jungle lodges (or 'longhouses') deep in the wild where you can hear monkeys screech and wake to the sounds of the rainforest. For more information on our accommodation page
