This Complete Borneo family adventure has it all. In 2 weeks you'll explore both the Sarawak and Sabah regions of the island. There will be plenty of wildlife spotting opportunities, fun activities for all ages and magical family moments. You'll spend time in a city, the jungle and on the beach, staying in family friendly accommodation, including a treehouse!

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.
