Borneo – how to plan?

Borneo Malaysia is basically made up of the state of Sarawak and Sabah the main attractions of Sarawak are the native culture & longhouse experience. Whereas in Sabah, it is primarily the nature and wildlife attractions, not forgetting the best adventure activities like mountain climbing, scuba diving and many more.

So, where do you start in Borneo?

Kuching and Kota Kinabalu are the main gateway into Malaysia Borneo. So you have the flexibility to start from either city. Infact, this gives you many options to do the Borneo Tour. For example, if the popular Borneo Rainforest Lodge is not available over your travelling dates, we can easily adjust the tour to fit you with another date. This works mots times except for during the high season in August.

You can fly direct from Kuala Lumpur to Tawau to get to the scuba diving islands like Kapalai, Mabul & Pom Pom.
