About the trip

This G Adventures small-group tour journeys through Sabah in Malaysian Borneo, beginning with the rainforest along the Kinabatangan River. Days here include river safaris and visits to an orangutan rehabilitation centre and the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre. Wildlife spotting on an oxbow lake offers a calm contrast to the jungle's busy sounds.

The itinerary continues with a stay on Turtle Island to observe a turtle hatchery. Afterward, the adventure turns upward for three days near Mt Kinabalu, the region's highest peak. The tour culminates with a difficult but rewarding sunrise hike to the summit, where the air is notably cooler and the landscape dramatically different from the lowland jungles.

Accommodations vary, reflecting the remote and diverse nature of the locations, from jungle lodges to mountain dormitories. The company includes a Chief Experience Officer, ensuring travel details are well managed, though flexibility is necessary in such a setting.
