Wild Borneo

This 11-night tour with Just You ventures deep into Malaysian Borneo, starting in Kota Kinabalu where the coastal city hums with night markets and cultural performances. A countryside visit to Kiulu includes walks over hanging bridges and a rubber tapping demonstration in a Dusun village, offering a glimpse of rural life.

Heading south, the tour pauses at Papar for a cooking session followed by a guided trek around Kinabalu National Park. Nearby, Mount Kinabalu’s peak dominates the skyline and the option of a dip at Poring Hot Springs adds a welcome chance to relax.

The journey continues to Sandakan and the rainforests along the Kinabatangan River. Wildlife viewing here includes orangutans at the Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre and river cruises through mangrove forests by day and firefly sightings by night. The lodges include boardwalks where encounters with monkeys and other creatures are a possibility, putting you well within the rhythms of this part of Borneo.
