Our Borneo trips
Our customers love getting under the skin of Borneo, and we believe the best experiences should benefit the people, wildlife and places that make the island so special. That’s why we carefully select local partners, small-scale accommodation and experiences that put communities and conservation at the heart of your trip. Wherever possible, your holiday helps keep money in the local economy while encouraging the protection of Borneo’s incredible forests and wildlife.
From spending time with the Iban community in Batang Ai National Park and learning about their traditions, to staying in a rustic jungle lodge or visiting an orangutan rehabilitation centre in the rainforest, our experiences give you a closer look at Borneo while helping to support its people and natural environment.
Our Borneo accommodation
Wherever possible, we choose small-scale, locally run accommodation in Borneo, as we believe where you stay can be just as important as what you do. Staying in local hotels, guesthouses and jungle lodges helps keep tourism spending within the community and gives you a more personal experience of the places you visit.
We look for accommodation with local character rather than large international chains. You might stay in a simple jungle lodge, a beach bungalow on a tropical island or in a traditional tribal longhouse. These smaller stays often have a strong connection to their surroundings, whether that means locally sourced food, local staff or a setting that puts you right in the heart of Borneo’s incredible nature.
