With its dense rainforests, tropical coastal islands, mysterious jungle valleys and abundant wildlife, Borneo is a rare place on this planet today. On our adventure, we relax on a tropical island, cycle through the Sabah countryside, experience a jungle canopy walk at Kinabalu Park and take a dip in the Poring Hot Springs. We also visit the Orang-utan Rehabilitation Centre at Sepilok, which teaches survival skills to orphaned apes so they can be re-introduced into the wild. On our boat cruise down the Kinabatangan River, we keep our eyes open for a variety of wildlife - proboscis monkeys, macaques, hornbills, otters and elephants, to name just a few! We also spend some time planting trees in a special reserve - our small gesture towards helping replenish the Borneo rainforests.
