Our local partner in Borneo
By working closely with our local partner in Borneo, we can ensure you have a friendly face to greet you on arrival and are left in the capable hands of their knowledgeable and helpful team. They know everything there is to know about Borneo and will happily give you all the help, hints and tips you need in order to have the best experience possible.
Who are they?
In Borneo, we work with a trusted local team who share our focus on nature, culture and meaningful travel. Established in the late 1980s, they set out to offer an alternative to mass tourism, creating trips that highlight the region’s spectacular nature, wildlife and cultural heritage. They have a deep understanding of the area, and create trips that feel closely connected to the places you visit. Their local guides bring a wealth of knowledge about the rainforest, wildlife and the many different cultures found across Sabah and Sarawak, helping you experience a side of Borneo that you might otherwise miss.
Making good things happen together
Our local partners in Borneo share our focus on responsible travel, with a long-standing commitment to supporting both communities and the natural environment. Tourism is set up in a way that ensures your trip has a positive local impact, creating jobs, supporting local businesses and contributing to community projects.
A key part of this is their long-term work with communities in remote rainforest areas, including the Iban communities around Batang Ai. Local people are closely involved in tourism, welcoming travellers, guiding experiences and sharing their knowledge of their culture and surroundings. This means tourism income stays within the community, while visitors get a genuine insight into life in the rainforest.
This approach also creates a strong link between tourism and conservation. When local communities benefit from protecting the rainforest and its wildlife, there’s a greater incentive to keep these precious environments intact. For you, that means a more meaningful experience, connecting with the people and places you visit while helping to protect them for the future.
