What to do in Borneo?
With its abundance of incredible scenery and enchanting wildlife, Borneo is brimming with exciting things to do and see. Take time to experience the following:
- Explore the UNESCO-listed Kinabalu National Park, home to 4,500 different types of flora and fauna including the world’s largest flower, the rafflesia
- Spot orangutans swinging through the vines at Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre, home to around 80 rescued primates who have lost their homes to deforestation
- Rise early to climb Mount Kinabalu, a 4000 metre mountain that affords breathtaking views over Kinabalu National Park
- Witness baby turtles making their way back into the sea at Selingan Island, a nesting ground for Green and Hawksbill turtles
- Unwind in the sulphur-rich Poring Hot Springs, whose waters are said to ease aching muscles (perfect after a hike up Mount Kinabalu!)
- Discover the spectacular Gomantong Caves, visited by David Attenborough and renowned for its valuable, edible swiftlet nests
- Go snorkelling or diving in the marine abundant waters surrounding the spectacular Sipadan Island
- Visit the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre and meet the smallest member of the bear family, the Malayan sun bear
- Relax on the beautiful Tajung Aru Beach, famed for its golden sands washed by warm translucent waters
- Indulge yourself with a stay at Gaya Island Resort, a five star retreat, just of the coast of Kota Kinabalu
How long to spend in Borneo?
Most travellers typically spend one to two weeks in Borneo, enough time to visit a number of the island’s highlights, meet its famous primates and relax on the beach.
Borneo can also be combined with Langkawi or Kuala Lumpur for a Malaysia-wide adventure, or for those looking to explore more of South East Asia, Singapore and Bali both make an excellent choice.
