Borneo is the world’s third largest island and home to some of the most unique eco-systems and creatures on this planet.

This adventurous expedition takes us off the beaten track as we explore Borneo’s remote jungle.

We start by rafting down the Kiulu River and cycling back before setting off to the jungle. We will trek through the rainforest, camping in remote villages and summiting South East Asia’s highest peak – Mount Kinabalu.

Highlights

  • Sunrise on the summit of Mount Kinabalu
  • Meet the Dusun people in the remote jungle villages
  • Try the world's highest Via Ferrata
  • The Kinabatangan River - an abundance of exotic wildlife endemic to Borneo
  • Recuperate at Poring Hot Springs


Camping in the Jungle

This expedition gives you the opportunity to trek through Borneo’s dense tropical rainforests, through remote villages en-route to the spectacular Mount Kinabalu.
Our expedition begins with rafting down the Kiulu River, a cycle back up through the beautiful valley, before we begin our trek through the hot humid rainforest and traditional Dusun villages. We camp in villages where few tourists visit and the ladies love to cook for us with food from their farms and show us a little of their cultural dancing and songs.

 

The trek finishes with sun rise on the highest peak of South East Asia, Mount Kinabalu. The view from the summit is spectacular out over the South China Sea. A much rewarded bath in the hot springs is well deserved after the descent.
At the end of our trek we head south wildlife spotting at the Kinabatangan Wildlife Reserve and Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary.
