Magical wildlife, scenery and beaches. A visit to the enchanted Turtle Island Park where turtles nest all year round and time to relax on a tropical island beach.
Discover Borneo's enchanting combination of unique wildlife, mysterious jungles and white tropical beaches. Visit the oldest rainforests in the world, with their rich diversity of wildlife including the orang-utan, Asian elephant and proboscis monkey. From ancient rainforests to tropical islands, we'll see turtles in their natural environment, bathe in mud volcanoes and snorkel coral reefs in warm waters. We will also visit Gomantong Caves, where thousands of bats live, and spend time whitewater rafting and playing on a high ropes course. There will also be an opportunity to experience the local culture with a visit to a rural market and an evening of tribal dancing. Experience the pure magic of sunset on the South China Sea; nobody can be bored in Borneo.
