Rainforest, rare wildlife and tropical islands in one adventurous journey
Borneo is one of Asia’s great nature destinations. Orangutans, proboscis monkeys, pygmy elephants and extraordinary birdlife inhabit rainforest and river systems, while the coast and offshore islands add coral reefs and a completely different pace.
A successful trip usually combines several habitats rather than relying on one wildlife area. River lodges, rainforest camps and coastal stays can be linked by short flights and road transfers, with private guides making wildlife encounters far more rewarding.
Where to explore in Borneo
Our current Borneo collection takes in Brunei, Danum Valley, Gaya Island, Kota Kinabalu and Kuchin. Each area has been selected because it adds something distinct to a tailor-made journey, whether that is wildlife, landscape, culture, food, coast or simply the chance to slow the pace.
Rather than treating these as a checklist, we can help decide which regions belong together and how long to spend in each. The aim is a journey that feels coherent, with sensible transfers and enough time to enjoy the properties and experiences along the way.
Who Borneo suits
Borneo works particularly well for wildlife enthusiasts, adventurous families and travellers who want a nature-led Asian journey with genuine biodiversity. The detail can then be shaped around the people travelling – preferred pace, room or villa requirements, interests, celebrations and how much structure you want built into each day.
Planning your stay
Private Hideaway Escapes can arrange the complete journey, including handpicked accommodation, private transfers, internal flights where appropriate, guides and experiences. We can also combine Borneo with another destination when the routing genuinely improves the trip rather than simply adding another stop.
