What's this trip about?

    On the top of any true nature and adventure traveler’s list there is one destination you can count on seeing in the top 10: Borneo. This Southeast Asian wonderland is extensively covered with the oldest rainforests on Earth and full of iconic wildlife such as orangutans, beautiful river systems, massive caves and rugged mountains. It is an irresistible paradise for nature travelers. During our amazing expedition, we will explore the world's most impressive cave systems, visit the world's largest colony of bats, trek several lush jungle trails in search of wildlife, hike the tallest mountain of Southeast Asia (Kota Kinabalu), observe semi-wild orphan orangutans in beautiful natural sanctuaries, cruise pristine jungle waterways in search of truely wild orangutans as well as the quickly vanishing Borneo Pygmy elephant, observe sea turtles lay their eggs on pristine sandy beaches then watch newly hatched turtles race into the surf, and last but not least, visit Brunei, the richest sultanate in the world. A true once-in-a-lifetime experience for all nature lovers and adventure travelers.
