From watching free-ranging orangutans in their natural jungle habitat to scouting for pygmy elephants swimming in the Kinabatangan River, you'll experience the most diverse and wildlife-centric Borneo itinerary on offer! Our multifaceted journey includes searching for a wide array of species and observing a fascinating mix of local cultures. And our special relationship with WWF ensures that you'll be helping to conserve the wild animals you will see.
- More Diverse Wildlife Viewing in Widely Varied Settings
This is a comprehensive survey of Borneo! We explore an array of ecosystems including the jungle sanctuaries of Sepilok and Semenggoh, Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary, limestone caves in Gomantong Reserve and Gunung Mulu National Park, mangroves in Bako National Park, Selingan Turtle Island, and virgin rain forest in the Danum Valley. In these varied locales, search for endangered orangutans, pygmy elephants, Bornean bearded pigs, smooth-coated otters, long- and pig-tailed macaques, monitor lizards,proboscis monkeys, rhinoceros hornbills, silvered leaf monkeys and numerous tropical bird species...to name just some of the species we may see. - Our Small Group—10 Travelers Max—Ensures More Personal Nature Encounters
In Borneo, as in any natural setting, authentic nature encounters must be intimate undertakings. Our small group is limited to just 10 travelers, for a quiet, low-impact experience—plus we are best able to meet individual needs, expectations and desires in a small-group setting. - Internal Flights Reduce Driving & Add More Time with Wildlife
Rather than subject youto long, winding, often bumpy drives, we utilize air transfers for comfort and efficiency. In fact, we've included three flights in our itinerary, in order to get youbetween destinations more quickly and allow you to spend more time doing what you came herefor: experiencing nature and wildlife. By flying instead of relying too much on driving, you get to see more of Borneo. - Visit Two Different Orangutan Sanctuaries
A chance to see orangutans is likely a big reason you're coming to Borneo. So we maximize your opportunities with visits to two different locations to observe these charismatic great apes: Sepilok and Semenggoh nature reserves. Semenggoh focuses on the study of orangutan biology and behavior while providing a safe and natural haven for dozens of semi-wild orangutans that are graduates of its original rehabilitation program. - A Rare Chance to See Green Sea Turtle Hatchlings Scurry to the Sea
A unique feature of this trip is the night we spend on Selingan Turtle Island, a protected habitat for endangered green sea turtles. Here, we expect to observe these pelagic reptiles coming ashore to lay their eggs, then watch in wonder as tiny hatchlings are released to hurry back over the beach seeking the clear waters of the Sulu Sea. - From Riverside to Rain Forest, Stay Closer to Borneo's Wildlife
We carefully select our accommodations for their quality, atmosphere and secluded locations. Unlike other tour operators that utilize large and impersonal lodges, or city hotels as a base for day trips, we stay as close as possible to nature in the most authentic and comfortable settings. From our nature resort near an orangutan sanctuary to Kinabatangan Wetlands Resort, a remote ecolodge on the Kinabatangan River, to Borneo Rainforest Lodge overlooking primary growth, you'll be surrounded by wild Borneo at every turn. - Travel with a Highly Experienced Expedition Leader and Top Local Guides
