This Borneo journey is a combination of a few nights near Kota Kinabalu, a few days of exploration in Borneo and a week relaxing at the beautiful Gaya Island Resort.

You'll begin with 4 nights on the coast near Kota Kinabalu. We have suggested a stay at the Shangri-La Rasa Ria. It's a great place to ease into your Borneo holiday. If you prefer to do something different, just let us know - everything can be tailored for you. We have included a full day excursion to Kinabalu National Park and Poring Hot Springs which will give you a taste of things to come.

Also included is a trip up to Kota Belud and the Tip of Borneo which will give you a bit of an insight into the cultural aspects of thie part of Borneo.

From Kota Kinabalu you'll fly the short hop to Sandakan and have a night at Sepilok Nature Resort. Staying the night here means you can visit the Rainforest Discovery Centre and do the evening walk as well as making an additional visit to Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary if you wish.

From here you'll head off by boat to the Kinabatangan River for two days of wildlife viewing in this magical part of Borneo. You'll head out in the mornings and evenings by electric boat in seach of wildlife along the riverbanks.

You'll be staying at the award winning Sukau Rainforest Lodge, the best lodge in the Kinabatangan River area.

The second half of your Borneo adventure will be in the the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, just off the coast of Kota Kinabalu. This sizable Malaysian island has been protected as a reserve since the early 1920's.
