Welcome to Borneo!
The island of Borneo is shared between Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia with the Malaysian part of Borneo further divided into 2 states: Sabah and Sarawak. Travel between Sabah and Sarawak is made easy thanks to the availability of quick and relatively inexpensive domestic flights. With activities including wildlife tours, beach holidays, scuba diving, cave exploration, mountain climbing and more, choosing which destinations to visit and which to skip can be tricky. Browse through the destinations below to discover more about each one or contact us for advice on how to plan your perfect trip.
Destinations in Sabah
Mount kinabalu
Mount Kinabalu

At 4095m, Mount Kinabalu is the highest mountain in Malaysia and on the island of Borneo. To reach the summit you must spend a minimum of 1 night on the mountain and pre-booking is essential. More adventurous travellers can opt to tackle the Via Ferrata and those with extra time can add-on a night in Kinabalu Park and/or Poring hot springs. Visit our Mount Kinabalu Info Centre to learn more about the climb.

Sabah's longest river is one of the best and most affordable places to see big wildlife in Borneo.

With the option of dormitories, private rooms, boutique lodges and luxury retreats there is something here to suit nearly all budgets!

danum valley
Danum Valley

Danum Valley Conservation Area encompasses some of the oldest rainforest in the world so it is no surprise that it is number 1 on most wildlife enthusiasts "must see" lists. Both the more basic Danum Valley Field Centre and the luxurious Borneo Rainforest Lodge are perfectly located for exploring Danum Valley's beautiful primary rainforest.

Turtle Island

Spend a night here to witness turtles coming onto the beach to lay eggs and watch as baby hatchlings take their first steps towards the great ocean.
A trip to Turtle Island can be booked as a 2D1N overnight stay or as a 4D3N package in combination with a trip to the Kinabatangan River, hands down the best place to see wildlife in Sabah. |
Maliau basin
Maliau Basin

Maliau Basin, also known as Borneo's lost world, is an awe-inspiring & challenging place to visit. Trek through pristine rainforest, sleep in basic jungle camps, refresh yourself in hidden waterfalls and see a side of Sabah that most visitors won't experience. Physical fitness and a sense of adventure are a must for this trip!

The Sapulot region of Sabah is meeting point of culture and wilderness and the Murut tribe that calls this region home was one of the last in Sabah to give up headhunting. Traditional Murut longboats, hidden water falls, caving, traditional food, music, dance and rice wine, this trip into the green heart of Borneo has a lot to offer.

Trus madi - malaysia's second highest mountain
Mt Trus Madi

Mount Trus Madi is Sabah's second highest mountain and offers a more physically challenging climb than summiting Mount Kinabalu.

It is not uncommon to be the only climber on the mountain, a great option for those wanting to escape the crowds and challenge themselves surrounded by nature.
