Borneo Holiday Ideas

Welcome to Borneo’s wild rainforests and breathtaking landscapes.

Borneo holidays offer rich rainforests and jungles filled with a variety of unique and fascinating wildlife. Glimpse wild orangutans swinging through the jungle canopy, spot pygmy elephants playing in the river, wonder at the crazy face of the proboscis monkey. Float along lazy rivers past stunning caves, hide-out in rainforest lodges and wait for the wildlife to come to you, or head off the beaten track deep into jungle to track clouded leopards and Sumatran rhinos. And once you’ve had your adventure, treat yourself to a luxury stay on one of Borneo’s idyllic beaches.

Borneo’s Top Five Jungle Lodges

Staying in a jungle lodge in Borneo is an unforgettable experience, where the calls of hornbills echo through the trees and mist rises over ancient rivers at dawn. Whether cruising the Kinabatangan River in search of pygmy elephants or trekking through lush rainforest alongside orang-utans, this is nature at its most raw and beautiful.

White Water Rafting in Borneo

White water rafting in Borneo means crashing through jungle-lined rivers, feeling the spray of the Padas, the cool flow of the Kiulu, and the raw, untamed energy of the Sarawak as rainforest surrounds you.

Staying at Borneo Rainforest Lodge

Nothing quite prepares visitors for the pristine wilderness and unparalleled luxury of Borneo Rainforest Lodge in Danum Valley.

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

The trip was so well organised. The lodges we stayed in were great. Seeing the wildlife so close was amazing. I would thoroughly recommend seeing Borneo with Sundowner Holidays, our first trip with them and thought it was exceptional. Trip of a lifetime.

Sheila Regula, 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.
