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.

Borneo / Malaysia was fabulous. Saw so much wildlife and the people are so friendly, helpful and courteous. I will definitely be back some day to explore further and this tour was a great introduction to a new part of the world for me.

The holiday was the best. I actually was impressed that there really was no , out of pocket expenses. We only had to pay for the tree top walk and a few meals - I was impressed with this.

I haven't quite absorbed all of what I have experienced on this trip. The animals, birds, insects and vegetation we saw is almost overwhelming. I have gained a stronger appreciation for this world we live in because of this trip. I will definitely take another National Geographic G Adventures tour in the future.

A great trip that covers so much ground and lets you experience so many different aspects of Borneo. It was great to also have local guides in each area as they had different insights and experiences they shared with us that really helped us understand and become immersed in the culture. The trip was incredible for wildlife spotting and those memories will stay with me forever.
