Join us as we embark on an extraordinary journey into the mysterious and magnificent world of Borneo—an island that conjures images of emerald rainforests, mist-wreathed mountains, and rivers that wind through lands unchanged by time. With Amaco Small Group Tours you’ll explore one of the world’s last great wildernesses, where nature still reigns supreme and ancient cultures thrive in harmony with their lush environment.

This exclusive itinerary invites you to traverse Malaysian Borneo, delving deep into the states of Sabah and Sarawak, each a rich tapestry of biodiversity, indigenous tradition, and colonial intrigue. From the vibrant markets and heritage enclaves of Kuching, to the virgin jungles of the Danum Valley, this is a voyage designed for discerning travellers with a thirst for knowledge and adventure, but without sacrificing comfort or connection.

Our journey begins in the serene capital of Kuching, where colonial architecture and Malay, Chinese, and Dayak influences converge in a colourful blend of cultures. Enjoy visits to tribal longhouses, where you’ll engage with the Iban people, descendants of legendary headhunters, and learn about their evolving traditions. Cruise the rivers at dawn, searching for proboscus monkeys and hornbills, and trace the footsteps of Alfred Russel Wallace along the same jungle paths that inspired his ground breaking theories of evolution.

Venture next into the biodiverse wonderland of  Mulu National Park, where moss-draped trees shelter flying squirrels and the world’s largest cave systems echo with the flapping wings of millions of bats. Your days are paced gently but rewardingly, with expert local guides illuminating the botany, zoology, and ethnohistory of these regions.

The tour continues in Sabah, where you’ll journey to the heart of Borneo’s wild interior. Spend time in the Danum Valley Conservation Area, a pristine rainforest sanctuary often described as one of the most important biological sites on Earth. Here, you have a front-row seat to nature’s theatre: orangutans swinging through the canopy, pygmy elephants crossing jungle trails, and sun bears emerging at dusk. Night safaris, guided canopy walks, and dawn treks bring you into intimate proximity with the island’s rarest inhabitants.

We plan to conclude with a farewell dinner on the shores of the South China Sea in Kota Kinabalu, where time is set aside for reflection and share stories of the experience framed by sunset views and wonderful dining.
