Borneo Holidays
asia
Journey deep into Borneo's jungle and cruise along the Kinabatangan River in search of pygmy elephants, Sumatran rhinos, proboscis monkeys and colourful birdlife or visit the renowned Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre to observe these adorable primates up close.
Aside from wildlife, Borneo boasts stunning scenery across its national parks, intriguing culture with indigenous local tribes and charming historic cities. If you’re looking to get stuck into a real outdoors adventure, Mount Kinabalu National Park offers a host of scenic walking trails and the chance to scale Malaysia’s highest peak! After all that excitement head to the beautiful unspoilt beaches and fabulous luxury resorts along the northern coast, ideal for complete rest and relaxation at the end of your Borneo holiday.
Trailfinders offers a range of Borneo holidays and we have a dedicated team of destination specialists who are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Borneo with your own private guide and driver, on a sociable small group tour, as an exciting multi centre holiday or a luxury beach break – they are the perfect people to ask.

Borneo Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Michelle Tachon
With their round bellys and long noses, the Proboscis Monkeys stand out from the crowd. A two night lodge stay on the Kinabatangan River is the best way to see these unique primates in the wild.
Abbi Harris
Looking for something active? Climbing Mount Kinabalu isn't easy but watching the sunrise from the top is definitely worth it!
Peter Duckworth
A cultural melting pot, Sabah's capital Kota Kinabalu boasts a fabulous night market, wonderful waterfront and an endless choice of restaurants
