Borneo is comprised of the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak, the sultanate kingdom of Brunei and the Indonesian province of Kalimantan. This multicultural island, the third largest island in the world, is home to an enormous diversity of exotic flora, fauna and natural beauty. The extensive rainforest eco system that engulfs most of the island is one of the oldest in the world. If you want adventure, beauty, natural wonders and responsible eco tourism then Borneo has it all on its doorstep.

Due to the nature of the rainforest areas of interest tend to be difficult to reach, located away from the main centres of population and transport links. This however just makes the adventure more real, the trek through the jungle to reach these remote parts of the country providing as much adventure as the destination. Sabah is home to Mt Kinabalu, the tallest mountain in South East Asia, but an attainable climb for most adventurers.

Borneo really is the new adventurers playground from pristine, untouched golden beaches, to virgin rainforests, rice fields and dense Jungle, towering Mountains and wildlife sanctuary’s there is so much to do in Borneo it is almost impossible to decide where to start.
