Notes

It should be stressed that the nature of the accommodation when compared with other areas of SE Asia, is sometimes of a lower standard than normally provided on G.A.P Adventures trips. This is often due to the location and type of activities involved (ie high on a mountain and in remote jungle areas). Accommodation is always clean and usually makes up in character and location, what it might not provide in glamour and additional services.

Recommendation

Consider seeing more of Borneo with our 'Best of Borneo' trip - see code AABB.

Trip Reviews

Borneo - Discover Sarawak

I had a great time trekking the tropical forest and watching the proboscus monkeys. This tour exceeded my expectations in getting so close to nature. I am glad I was able to handle the physical demand. This trip is definitely not for the faint hearted.
