Borneo Holidays

Like nowhere else on earth

To many, Borneo is famous for just one thing; the merest mention of the place can lead to grown adults pulling silly faces and scratching their armpits. Whilst the Pongo pygmaeus, better known as the orang-utan – Malay for 'man of the forest', are undoubtedly a highlight of any holiday in the third largest island on the planet, there is so much more to Borneo.

During your holiday in this culturally diverse region of Malaysia (the people of Sabah and Sarawak share a total of 156 dialects and a huge variety of religions!) you can expect to travel by traditional longtail boat; stay in tribal longhouses and jungle lodges; walk some of the planets finest nature trails; see rare wildlife such as pigmy elephants, proboscis monkeys and rhinos; enjoy lazy days on idyllic beaches; dive the spectacular South China Sea at what many consider to be some of the worlds finest dive sites; and spend time with indigenous tribes and ancient cultures. Did we miss anything?!

No matter how well travelled you are, you’ll never have been on holiday anywhere like Borneo…now where are those cute orange monkeys?!
