The most memorable part of a Borneo holiday for many is spotting an incredible array of wildlife, particularly catching a glimpse of the iconic orangutan. Perhaps birdwatching is more your style, maybe a hike or a river safari? We give you the lowdown on the very best national parks, reserves and waterways along with the experiences you can have in each.

Hotels in Borneo can be a bit of a mixed bag, but we know where the gems are that will really enhance your holiday. You can go from a remote conservation lodge in the heart of the jungle to cruising overnight on a houseboat or relaxing at an island beach resort. All is revealed in our guide.

You’ll most likely be drawn to Borneo for its abundant wildlife, but we have plenty more memorable experiences up our sleeve. From overnight treks and cycling to white sand shorelines and culturally enriching experiences, no two days have to be the same here.

The heartbreaking reality is that Borneo’s unique ecosystem is under threat. At ETG, we realise we have a responsibility to not add to the problems the island faces, and are doing all we can to promote positive change.
