Borneo Adventure

• Bako National Park: Cruise along the azure coasts for a 30-min ride to Bako Fishing Village, checking out all the show-stopping sea scenery along the way.
• Bako National Park: Join an expert for a walk through the rainforest. This is your chance to check out all the wildlife here (some found only in Borneo!) including proboscis monkeys, silvered langurs, bearded pigs and monitor lizards.
• Semenggoh: We'll visit the Semenggoh Orangutan Wildlife Centre, where you'll get to meet orphaned & rescued orangutans who were trained by the wardens here to survive in the wild. You'll also get to see the very first feeding of the day!
• Kota Kinabalu: Zip through the clouds as we head to Kota Kinabalu for some cosy coastal relaxation.
• Sandakan: Sit back, relax and enjoy your second included flight of the trip!
• Sandakan: Pay homage to the Australian and British soldiers who were held as prisoners in the Philippines by the Japanese between 1942 and 1945.
• Sandakan: Start your day with a mindful visit to this golden and red temple atop a hill
• Selingan Island: We'll jump on a boat and float over to our next beachy spot of the trip - Turtle Island!
• Selingan Island: First, we'll join a Park Ranger to explore the sights on this island. And then head to laying site in small group. You'll get to see a mother turtle laying eggs on the beach firsthand, see the tagging process and even witness the egg collecting before it's planted in the hatchery. And to finish it off, you'll even watch the baby turtles being released to the sea for the very first time! You don't wanna miss this one...
• Selingan Island: Snorkel, sunbathe & soak in the scenery on the oh-so-stunning Turtle Island.
• Sepilok: A bear? With a crescent shaped patch of fur? That resembles the rising sun? Get ready for cuteness overload as you see sun bears in this conservation centre.
• Sepilok: That's right! This time we're visiting the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre to see even more rescued orangutans.
• Kinabatangan River: Hop onto a river cruise along the Kinabatangan River to discover wildlife situated along the river where there is a chance to see the Proboscis Monkey, rare bird species of Borneo, Hornbills, Gibbons and maybe even Pygmy Elephants!
• Kinabatangan River: Join the birds and other animals of the river for a cruise up stream in search of wildlife as the bathe in the morning sun along the river
• Kinabatangan River: Take a nature jungle walk with a local guide who'll fill you in on all the deets of this wonderful riverine forest.
• Kinabatangan River: Another river cruise. Even more wildlife. That's what's on the agenda this afternoon. Grab your binocs!

Kuching: What items should I pack for this trip? You’re gonna be exploring a tropical jungle, so we recommend that you get insect repellent, a torch, a raincoat, good walking shoes, a sun hat, and of course – binocs (a must-have!). For the beach, you should get sandals, swimwear, personal toiletries, and sun cream (preferably sweatproof!). Plus, you’ll need an overnight bag on some nights of this trip. Pro-tip: Extra-light cotton clothes are perfect for Borneo’s weather.
