Beyond its wild beauty, Borneo’s soul lies in its people. At the Mari Mari Cultural Village, step inside traditional homes, learn age-old crafts, and experience the hospitality of Sabah’s Indigenous tribes. Each encounter offers a deeper appreciation of their heritage, resilience, and artistry.
Pause to reflect at the Kundasang War Memorial, a place of solemn beauty honouring courage and sacrifice during WWII — a moment to connect past and present in one of the world’s most peaceful landscapes.
Few sights compare to sunrise over Mount Kinabalu, its slopes bathed in soft gold as clouds drift through the valleys below. Explore the Kinabalu UNESCO Global Geopark and its Botanical Gardens, home to extraordinary orchids, towering trees, and exotic pitcher plants found nowhere else on Earth. Standing in the shadow of this majestic peak, you’ll feel both humbled and exhilarated — a reminder of how rare and precious this planet truly is.
As with all Amaco conferences, the educational program is seamlessly integrated into your daily itinerary, ensuring participants never miss a moment of exploration or learning.

Amaco is not only a member of ATIA (the Australian Travel Industry Association) and CATO (Council of Australian Tour Operators), but we are also ATAS Travel Accredited. This means we have met the strictest industry standards for financial, operational, and management criteria. Only the best industry agents achieve this accreditation, meaning you can travel with us knowing that you’re in safe and capable hands.
With nearly 30 years of experience in planning and organising conferences, we understand that participants may wish to add additional travel destinations and adventures before or after the all-inclusive packages we offer.
Other conference operators might discourage you from doing this. Sometimes, it’s because of the added complexity it creates, and at different times, they’ll try to talk you out of it simply because they don’t have capable or experienced staff with the breadth and depth that the advisors we employ have.
We encourage all participants to make the most of the time away. This might mean departing earlier than the rest of the group to visit other destinations or staying on at the conference’s conclusion to undertake some additional travel.
Our travel advisors are perfectly positioned to assist you with making these arrangements. They will do all the hard work for you, seamlessly combining your personalised itinerary with the group program.
Amaco is an Accredited Education Provider for the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) and the Australian College of Rural & Remote Medicine. Over the years, members of our team have also worked closely with the Australian Dental Association, the Australian Dental Council, the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, the Australian Medical Association, the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia and various other specialist associations and colleges.
Each conference we run includes an education syllabus that assists GP’s, dentists, pharmacists and health professionals to improve the quality of care they provide to patients and customers while at the same time providing them the opportunity to travel to and experience new and exciting destinations.
Our conference will provide delegates with the opportunity to earn CPD hours or points based on the content and duration of sessions. As has been the case with past conferences, we will work closely with participants affiliated with other associations to ensure that they receive maximum recognition for their attendance at the conference.
The content of the education sessions will be relevant to GPs, Medical Specialists, Pharmacists, Dentists, Nurses, and other health providers. We encourage all attendees to register for the conference sessions.
The Education Committee for the Borneo Jungle Rivers & Rare Encounters Conference will be selected in early 2026, with final conference topics to be chosen based on feedback from our previous conference attendees and input from the RACGP, ACRRM, ADC, and other relevant stakeholders. Suitable speakers will be approached based on the topics selected.
Subject to final accreditation, the Borneo Jungle Rivers & Rainforests Conference will provide between 12 and 14 hours of accredited education. ACRRM members can also expect the education program to be accredited and to earn CPD points. RACGP and ACRRM accreditation will be applied for under the triennium 2026 to 2028. As has been the case in the past, Amaco will work with dental and pharmacy bodies and those affiliated with other associations to ensure they receive maximum recognition for attending the conference.
We welcome applications from potential presenters and encourage anyone interested to contact us for further information.
