Three Days Discovering the Wildlife‑Rich Waterways of Borneo

Borneo

Two-day Sepilok Orangutan Encounter

Go off track and spend some time away from the endless beaches in Kota Kinabalu for a couple of days and immerse yourself in the natural mangroves and forests of Borneo. Observe one of man's closest relatives, the orangutan, and learn about the work carried out at Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre to avoid their extinction. We can't forget about other Borneo wildlife that needs conserving as well, sun bears and proboscis monkeys, which you will see on this tour also.

Three-day Sepilok Orangutan Encounter

As an extension of the two day tour, there is no time wasted with a trek through Borneo's diverse habitats on the first evening. This sets you up for the main attraction the following day, the Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre, where you can get to know the Orangutans that are currently being cared for by the team. The tour is not over before you get to witness the sun bears and the proboscis monkeys.

Four-day Borneo Rainforest Experience

Explore Borneo's lush rainforest at Danum Valley Conservation Area, an ancient lowland dipterocarp forest. You’ll stay at the Borneo Rainforest Lodge, a comfortable and modern selection of chalets and villas where you’ll enjoy meals surrounded by a lush rainforest between your Bornean adventures. The experience includes plenty of wildlife walks, where you’ll venture through the tree canopy to spot colourful birdlife and search for creatures of the night during after-dark treks. A memorable tubing journey drifts you gently down the river to the rainforest soundtrack.

Highlights of Kuala Lumpur & Borneo Suggested Itinerary

On a holiday of contrasts, begin with an urban adventure in Kuala Lumpur before flying to Malaysian Borneo for old-world charm and exceptional food in Kota Kinabalu. Then you’ll retreat to the rainforest where orangutans, monkeys, and Borneo elephants thrive before spending your final few days winding down in a luxury beach resort.

Borneo Big Five

Over six days, you’ll track orangutans in the treetops, drift down rivers at dawn, and walk rainforest trails after dark with nothing but torchlight and luck on your side. Along the way, you’ll be chasing Borneo’s own Big 5 – orangutan, proboscis monkey, pygmy elephant, crocodile, and rhinoceros hornbill – a line-up that makes every boat trip and jungle trek feel like a live-action treasure hunt.
