Borneo - Encompassed (18 days)
This is a wonderful journey of discovery, which extends from the waters of the South China Sea to the summit of South East Asia's highest mountain. Magnificent scenery, superb rainforest lowlands, endangered wildlife and fascinating cultures are only a part of the charm of Borneo.
We explore colonial cities, walk through tropical jungles, travel rivers by longboat, discover caves of unbelievable size and stay in the longhouses of descendants of the legendary Headhunters of Borneo. This is a trip for the adventurous traveller interested in experiencing one of the last wild places in the world. You can also end your Borneo experience with a relaxing four days in a tropical beach resort at Pulau Tiga.
