Malaysia and Borneo itineraries

Our Malaysia and Borneo itineraries are independent holidays in West and East Malaysia that we've created by stringing together a selection of our bite-sized Malaysia tours and Borneo tours. These holidays in Malaysia and Borneo have been put together based on their geographical location and combination of activities. 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 a private bungalow and in the cities you'll stay in small mid-class hotels within walking distance of all the sights. For more information visit our accommodation page.

If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with us. You can request an itinerary using our quote request form.
