If you have never been to Borneo, the world’s largest island, then this is the perfect package for you! This promotional package covers all the main highlights of Borneo, and serves as an ideal introduction to the wild beauty of this amazing place. There are several tours in the package at the following destinations: Kuching, Bako National Park, Semonggok Wildlife Centre, Lemanak Longhouse, Mulu National Park, Kinabalu Park and Klias River. Extension stays are bookable at special discounted rates.

The tour of Kuching will take you around what was known as the Kingdom of Sarawak during the first White Rajah’s reign. It includes both modern and historical landmarks, including Chinatown, the city’s Cat Statue (the Malay word for cat is Kuching), and the famous Sarawak Museum. Trace the legacy of the White Rajahs as you view buildings like Fort Margherita and the Astana, their former residence by the river.

The first nature tour takes you to Bako National Park, one of the more unique parks in Malaysia. Although small in area, the park is rich with wildlife, including the bizarre proboscis monkeys, and it is also home to silvered langurs (leaf monkeys) as well as hundreds of different bird species.

The tour to Semonggok Wildlife Centre will take you face to face with semi-wild orang utans that were rescued from captivity and trained to survive in the surrounding forest reserve. They roam freely in the rain forest, and often return to the centre at feeding time.

The journey to Lemanak Longhouse is an experience itself, a trip through lush green countryside dotted with padi fields, pepper gardens and rubber plantations, and flanked by rugged jungle-clad mountains. A river ride awaits to take you up into Iban territory to Lemanak Longhouse, the traditional home of the Iban tribe.
Mulu National Park is the site of the world famous Mulu Caves. During your time there you will explore Mulu’s cave network and marvel at the aerobatic display of bats that dwell there.

The Kinabalu Park tour is a unique look at one of the most nodiverse ecosystems in the world. Located on the slopes of Mount Kinabalu, the park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a combination of temperate forests on its higher elevation and dipterocarp rainforests in its lowlands.

The Klias River tour is a river cruise that features monkeys, lots and lots of monkeys. Be sure to be on the lookout for the elusive Proboscis monkey, mischievous macaques and myriad species of birds that inhabit this unique riverine environment. Marvel at the true beauty of Klias when the fireflies light up the night sky.
