The exotic and multicultural island of Borneo is a gem of southeast Asia, offering travellers of all ages an unforgettable and authentic experience well away from the usual tourist spots. From ancient rainforests to idyllic tropical islands, Borneo has so much natural beauty and diversity that it will leave you in awe.
Whether you see yourself as an intrepid adventurer or prefer the idea of working on a peaceful tropical island, our trips offer you everything you could wish for. Borneo’s tropical rainforests are one of the oldest in the world and are home to one of the last remaining populations of orangutans. In contrast, just off the coast of Borneo lies Mantanani island, a picture perfect location with white sand beaches surrounded by warm blue waters. No wonder it’s one of our most popular locations!
Our trips offer you the unique chance to live and work as part of the community, helping local people improve their living standards in a sustainable way and supporting various conservation efforts to safeguard the future of some of the world’s rarest and most impressive wildlife.
And if that isn’t enough to keep you busy, you can add an adventure activity to your trip. Always wanted to explore the jungle? Fancy learning to scuba dive? Or maybe trek one of Asia’s tallest mountains? Well now’s your chance.
