Customer reviews

Enjoy the exhilarating experience of a lifetime travelling into Borneo. Its rainforests are blessed with a stunning botanical diversity and unique wildlife which you can discover as part of a small group on this fascinating tour. You'll meet orang-utans of Sepilok and a stay on Selingan Turtle Island which gives you a great opportunity to see turtle hatchlings.   

This tour includes two nights aboard aircraft if flying with Royal Brunei or with Malaysia Airlines.

Please note: Due to Selingan Island Chalet being the only accommodation on the island, it may be necessary for the itinerary to follow a different order on some departures. All excursions detailed will still be included, as will the total number of nights at each hotel/lodge. In addition, to ensure that you can enjoy a stay on Selingan, groups may be split to follow different itineraries on the same departure.

Active Explorer

2 footprints

If you're happy walking for three or four hours a day and you don't mind steep slopes and rough ground, these moderately-paced tours should be perfect for you. This rating also applies to some of our Active Explorer cruises, as there will be gangplanks and ladders to negotiate.
