FAQs Kuching: You#re gonna be exploring a tropical jungle, so we recommend that you get insect repellent, a torch, a raincoat, good walking shoes, a sun hat, and of course – binocs (a must-have!). For the beach, you should get sandals, swimwear, personal toiletries, and sun cream (preferably sweatproof!). Plus, you#ll need an overnight bag on some nights of this trip. Pro-tip: Extra-light cotton clothes are perfect for Borneo#s weather. Included Experience - Kiulu: Roll up your sleeves and dive into village life as you help prepare four signature Kiulu dishes. You#ll wrap Linangatan rice in leaves, mix up Hinava (a zingy raw fish salad), slow-braise local fish for Pinasakan Sada, and finish with punchy Tuhau pickles. It#s hands-on, a little messy, and seriously rewarding. Plus you#ll get to eat everything you make.
- Kiulu: Step into the wild and learn how to live off the land. This interactive bushcraft session covers traditional fire-making, clever survival techniques, and a live demo of bamboo crafting and tool-making. It#s all about getting stuck in, thinking resourcefully, and seeing the jungle from a whole new angle.
- Kiulu: Slow things down this afternoon with a creative, culture-led session. You#ll learn the intricate art of Dalai bead-making before diving into the secrets of Tapai (rice wine), shared by village elders. Expect stories, hands-on moments, and a deeper connection to the traditions that shape daily life here.
- Kiulu: Sit down to a shared meal before enjoying a vibrant cultural dance performance. With time to chat, learn and laugh with your hosts, this is more than just dinner — it#s a chance to genuinely connect with the community.
- Kiulu: Get a feel for village life with a hands-on rubber tapping experience. Alongside a local farmer, you#ll learn the process from tree to collection, gaining insight into a trade that#s central to the community#s way of life.
- Kiulu: Wrap up your time in the village with a powerful Silat performance — a traditional martial art full of precision and energy. It#s a meaningful send-off from your hosts, giving you one last moment to soak up the culture and connection you#ve built here.
- Kundasang: Kick things off early with a jungle trek to one of the region#s most impressive sights. This 3.4km trail (around 2 hours each way) takes you through dense tropical forest, past giant trees and bamboo groves — and if you#re lucky, even a blooming Rafflesia. Your reward? The thundering Langanan Waterfall, crashing down from over 120 metres before the trek back.
- Sandakan: Start your day with a mindful visit to this golden and red temple atop a hill
- Selingan Island: We'll jump on a boat and float over to our next beachy spot of the trip - Turtle Island!
- Selingan Island: First, we'll join a Park Ranger to explore the sights on this island. And then head to laying site in small group. You'll get to see a mother turtle laying eggs on the beach firsthand, see the tagging process and even witness the egg collecting before it's planted in the hatchery. And to finish it off, you'll even watch the baby turtles being released to the sea for the very first time! You don't wanna miss this one...
- Selingan Island: Snorkel, sunbathe & soak in the scenery on the oh-so-stunning Turtle Island.
- Sepilok: A bear? With a crescent-shaped patch of fur that looks like the rising sun? Get ready for cuteness overload! Your local guide will take you on a tour of the centre, showing how rescued sun bears are researched, rehabilitated, and cared for. There#s also a spot to watch an info video during your free time to learn even more about these incredible animals.
- Sepilok: That's right! This time we're visiting the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre to see even more rescued orangutans.
- Kinabatangan River: Hop onto a river cruise along the Kinabatangan River to discover wildlife situated along the river where there is a chance to see the Proboscis Monkey, rare bird species of Borneo, Hornbills, Gibbons and maybe even Pygmy Elephants!
- Kinabatangan River: Join the birds and other animals of the river for a cruise up stream in search of wildlife as the bathe in the morning sun along the river
- Kinabatangan River: Take a nature jungle walk with a local guide who'll fill you in on all the deets of this wonderful riverine forest.
