Borneo

Overview

Take a trip to Borneo on your Malaysia vacation.

Borneo is the third largest island in the world and is divided into three countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei. Located at the centre of Maritime Southeast Asia, Borneo is home to one of the oldest rainforests in the world, featuring a diverse array of animal and plant species, including the endangered Bornean Orangutan, something not to be missed on Malaysia vacations.

Borneo is also comprised of diverse ethnic groups, some of which live in longhouses, sharing their roof with the entire population of their village. Travellers can stay overnight in some of these longhouses and experience the locals’ hospitality and friendliness.

Borneo is the world’s third-highest island, with Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia, being the highest point in all of Southeast Asia, sitting at an elevation of 4,095 m (13,435 ft) above sea level.

Borneo features several cave systems. Clearwater Caves has one of the longest-running underground rivers, while Deer Cave is home to over 3 million bats.

Once a thriving trade centre, given its geographic locale, Borneo is now better known for its ecological significance. Featuring untouched rainforests, it is truly a nature lover’s paradise on a Malaysia tour.

Explore one of the oldest rainforests in the world! Book one of our Borneo tours today.
