Get the full Borneo experience by venturing to both the Sarawak and Sabah regions of the island with your family.

Start off your family adventure by cycling through the streets of Kuching, before you go searching for wildlife in Bako National Park. The following day you’ll cruise down the mighty Santubong river, another haven for wildlife! Next up is Semenggoh where you’ll find our close relatives, the orangutan.

It’s then over to Sabah to the Kinabalu National Park, as well as the Kinabatangan river to seek out more time with Borneo’s orangutans and take in the magnificent jungle views. Finally, to end your trip it’s time to for some well deserved relaxation on the beach.

Day 1 – Arrive in Kuching

On arrival into Kuching, you’ll be collected at the airport and transferred to your hotel. Borneo might not be known for its cities, but Kuching is the perfect place to begin your family adventure. This compact, welcoming city is a mix of old and new, a melting pot of cultures and cuisines. It’s also known as ‘Cat City’, and your kids will love spotting the cat statues dotted around the city. There’s even a museum dedicated to them!

Day 5 – Santubong River boat trip

Your morning is free to relax and explore. In the afternoon we’ve arranged a boat trip on the mangrove-lined Santubong River. Keep your eyes peeled for all the wildlife hiding along these shores. There’s Proboscis monkeys, Irrawaddy dolphins, fireflies and you might look down into the water and spot some crocodile eyes looking right back at you. As dusk settles you’ll be able to see the fireflies twinkling in the evening sky, and afterwards, you’ll head back to your treehouse for the night.

This wildlife spotting trip is suitable for children aged 7 years+ 

Day 10 – Wildlife spotting along the Kinabatangan

This morning you’ll be woken by the sounds of monkeys shrieking in the distance and birds flying overhead. You’ll have an early start as you set out on your first boat trip of the day where you’ll watch monkeys, lizards, crocodiles and (hopefully) elephants awaken along the waterfront. After your early morning cruise, you’ll sail back to the lodge for breakfast. The afternoon is free for you to relax at the lodge or take a walk around the area, before taking another boat trip later in the day to watch even more wildlife as the sun sets.
