Itinerary

If you yearn for rare wildlife encounters and lush tropical adventures, "Journeys: Best of Borneo" is a 12-day countryside and village tour that reveals the island’s breathtaking diversity. From Kuching to Kota Kinabalu, traverse the Malaysian states of Sarawak and Sabah, where mist-shrouded limestone cliffs and dense rainforests await.

Spot rescued orangutans at Sepilok, cruise the Kinabatangan River in search of pygmy elephants, and marvel at the bat exodus in Gunung Mulu National Park. The tour is enriched by cultural exchanges with indigenous communities, offering a deeper understanding of Borneo’s traditions.

The standout feature of this trip package is its combination of extraordinary wildlife viewing and authentic cultural immersion—a journey where every day brings new discoveries in one of the world’s last great wildernesses.

Great trip! We saw so many animals and plants. Great food and awesome guides. The rain was a bit of a factor and as such we missed some activities. Suggestion is to think about plan B when rain happens, eg a talk about the behaviour of the animals or plants or a cooking class.

The experiences were incredible with the wildlife seen and the journey that was taken with people one has never met. We went in as strangers and came out as friends. The guide makes or breaks this type of trip. Our guide made it for us the best it could be.

Guillia put a great self-drive tour together for us and Susana looked after us as we travelled. (Even when we got lost) The car and accommodation was good and the guides patient and informative. Only issue we had was parking in small villages, garages, and cities. Apart from the parking we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, thank you.
