Borneo, Asia’s largest island, is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. Within its ancient tropical rainforests thrives an astonishingly rich array of wildlife, featuring unique species not found anywhere else such as orangutans, long-nosed monkeys, and pygmy elephants. On this 11-day biking tour across Sabah, a Malaysian state in northeastern Borneo, we set forth in pursuit of these frontiers of untamed wilderness. Beyond these wilds, we also discover Sabah’s hinterlands, highlands, mountains, and coast!
Beginning in Sabah’s capital city of Kota Kinabalu we fly east and cycle into Tabin Wildlife Reserve, a vast protected area teeming with life. Here we spend two nights at a jungle lodge and explore the surrounding forests by bike, hike & safari! We then continue onwards to the Kinabatangan River where we cruise on the meandering waterway, on the lookout for scenes of monkeys swinging in the trees and elephants coming to bathe. We then turn our attention fully to Borneo’s iconic primates, visiting a world-renowned orangutan rehabilitation center and a sanctuary for proboscis monkeys on the northern tip of Borneo. Our initial forays into the jungles are followed by a deeper exploration of rural Borneo. We cycle through extensive palm-oil plantations and rattle over dirt trails in tea fields before we reach Poring, known for its thermal hot springs and treetop walkway. From here we climb into the highlands and are greeted by the sight of majestic Mount Kinabalu, Southeast Asia’s tallest mountain. We cap off the tour with a ride to the western coast, treating ourselves to a stay at a lovely beach resort overlooking the South China Sea. The tour ends with a transfer back to Kota Kinabalu.
Join us in hitting the roads and trails of northern Borneo and discover a world at the edge of untamed wilderness!

A real Borneo adventure. Trek rainforest and jungle trails in search of wildlife such as Orangutan, ascend limestone pinnacles and climb Mt Kinabalu. This is Borneo as few ever experience it - a journey through ancient rainforests, Indigenous homelands and high mountain trails that reveals the wild heart of the island. Designed for active, curious travellers, this immersive Borneo trekking tour combines rich cultural connection, unique wildlife encounters and spectacular landscapes.
Beginning in Kuching, we explore Sarawak’s colonial past and Indigenous heritage before travelling deep into the forest by longboat to stay at the remote Nanga Sumpa longhouse. Here, we spend time with the Iban people and venture out on foot in search of orangutans, macaques and hornbills in their natural habitat. We continue upriver to jungle camps, swim in waterfalls and walk trails few others will ever access.
Next, we fly to Mulu National Park - home to one of the world’s largest cave systems and the dramatic limestone Pinnacles of Gunung Api. Trekking through pristine rainforest, we climb to a viewpoint overlooking these 45-metre (148-foot) high stone spires, rising sharply from the jungle below.
In Sabah, we ascend Mount Kinabalu (4095m/13,435ft), Borneo’s highest peak, trekking through ever-changing ecological zones — from lowland forest to alpine scrub - to witness sunrise above the clouds. The journey concludes on the Kinabatangan River, where dawn and dusk wildlife cruises offer sightings of proboscis monkeys, elephants and rare birdlife, all within one of Southeast Asia’s most biodiverse ecosystems.
Throughout the adventure, we stay in simple lodges and jungle camps, work with expert local guides and contribute to long-standing conservation and community-based tourism efforts. It’s an unforgettable multi-activity adventure - rich in biodiversity, culture and achievable challenges.
