An active exploration of Borneo - rainforest nature trails, huge caves, orang-utans, and an ascent of the Pinnacles and Mt Kinabalu

The Pinnacles, Mount Kinabalu.

The great rainforests of Borneo offer the active and adventurous the chance to participate in a multitude of exciting activities. We journey into the depths of the equatorial rainforest at Mulu National Park where we explore the largest caves on earth, trek through the jungle and climb the incredible limestone 'Pinnacles' high above the rainforest canopy. We meet the loveable orang-utans at the Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre and spend two days at a lodge in the Kinabatanagan Wildlife Reserve where orang-utans, elephants, proboscis monkeys and hornbills are commonly seen. We view the jungle from a walkway above the tree canopy (optional), and if we're lucky we may also see the beautiful Rafflesia flowers in bloom - the largest flowers in the world! A fitting end to this adventurous journey is a climb of Mount Kinabalu (4095 m), the highest mountain in SE Asia.
