Laura organised an unbelievable trip to Borneo for us that took in all of the wildlife, a few days at a luxury hotel on the beach and a couple of days in Kuala Lumpur. I was apprehensive as we were travelling with a five-year-old and we'd never been on this kind of holiday before, but I needn't have been. Laura tailored our trip to be adventurous and to see all of the sights, while still being child-friendly and at a pace we could all enjoy. The hotels and lodges were fantastic, and every flight, transfer and boat was organised to perfection. All we had to do was sit back and enjoy it. Genuinely a holiday of a lifetime.

The juxtaposition of urban Kuala Lumpur with wild Borneo was brilliant … the animals and of course the Orangutans were a delight and all capped off with a luxury stay on Gaya Island …. Just perfect!

Margaret Styles, Borneo

Well, what an amazing country Borneo is, we absolutely loved it and probably still haven't come down to earth since we have been home.

Helen Lewis, Borneo

We booked a Malaysian holiday for a special birthday and right from the start, Hannah listened to our requirements and put together a fantastic itinerary for us of 4 nights in Kuala Lumpur, 5 nights in Borneo wildlife watching and 4 nights in Gaya Island, this was a truly fantastic holiday … I would give 6 stars if I could!

Neil and Donna, Malaysia

One of the best things about our time in Borneo was the people. Everyone was so friendly and kind to us. It was the most perfect honeymoon!

Jenny Casswell, Borneo

I cannot thank Sundowner enough for all their help, assistance and knowledge when we were booking this trip. We are actively recommending them to all our like-minded travel friends, and we will speak again when we are ready for our next adventure.
