BORNEO BEACH AND RAINFOREST - 12 NIGHTS FROM £3,629pp
Filled with ancient mist-drenched rainforest and some of the world’s rarest wildlife, Borneo is a tropical paradise of breathtaking biodiversity, golden beaches and chromatic coral reefs.
This itinerary offers you a beach stay at a luxurious Shangri-La resort, with a 2-night, 3-day adventure into the island's rainforest with a chance at observing orangutans.
Begin with 3 nights at Shangri La Rasa Ria, located just outside Kota Kinabalu. In a 64-acre forest reserve and with a private beach, Shangri-La Rasa Ria is a dreamland of activity. From paddock riding, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding to a gold course, spa and the opportunity to take a twilight river cruise, your stay here can be as active or as calm as you want it to be.
You will then head deep into Borneo’s pristine rainforest for outdoor adventures alongside orangutans, monkeys and Borneo pygmy elephants. In this protected paradise, you can take a dip in natural pools, go river tubing and set off on night walks in search of nocturnal wildlife. This is an authentic jungle experience, so we’ve included a stay at Borneo Rainforest Lodge, which combines sustainability with a splash of rustic luxury.
This 2-night experience includes a host of activities and all meals, a true bucket-list adventure in one of the most spectacular parts of Malaysia.
Return to Shangri-La Rasa Ria for a further 7 nights before your return to the UK.

THANK YOU to David for his very kind feedback and for supporting my business. Getting these comments means so much to me.

Customer Name : David
Date of Booking : 14 Oct 24
Score Received : 10
Additional Comments :
The service I received from Gillian was excellent. With only booking flights every two years or so it is a daunting task for me to DIY. Despite my many queries Gillian answered them all with assurances and respect, no question being considered "stupid". The service Gillian provided has taken all the stress out of what is a major journey and undertaking. My wife and I are eternally grateful for her dedication to her job. We will always recommend her to our friends and family.
