Discover the Island of Borneo
Introduction
Borneo is one of the greatest islands of the world. Not quite as big as its neighbor, the island of New Guinea, Borneo is still an amazing island. It’s famous for its jungles and wildlife, in particular the orangutan. There are two seasons – expect heavy rain between October and March and a drier period for the rest of the year. Temperatures are generally between 24°С and 30°С all year round.
Kota Kinabalu
Fly to Kota Kinabalu, Borneo’s most important city. We’ll pick you up from your comfortable accommodation in the heart of this city and take you on several exciting day trips over the next few days. See your first rainforest. Go trekking in the national park and spend a day on the shores of the South China Sea where you can go swimming or snorkeling in its clear blue water.
Sukau
Leaving the city behind, we fly to the airport in the north of the island. From there, the only way to continue our journey to Sukau, where you’ll spend the next few days, is by bus. During this part of your trip, you will visit the Sepilok Centre, which looks after young orangutan whose parents have died. Some of these animals arrive in very bad condition. The centre helps them to recover but this can take time.
Visitor projects
There is no age limit here. All visitors are expected to take part in research activities to understand and observe the orangutan. Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to get close to these creatures. Once you have spent the morning watching wild orangutans, why not help collect the plants that are part of their diet?
Return to Kota Kinabalu
Once back in Kota Kinabalu, enjoy some free time. For a small fee, book our day trip to Mount Kinabalu. At over 4,000 metres, it is the highest mountain in South-East Asia. If you prefer to look around the city, come on our morning tour which includes a visit to the Sabah State Museum and the Tun Mustapha Tower. And when the tour is over, it’s a short ride to the modern shopping centres, local stores or markets for some last-minute souvenirs.
