Tailored Borneo Holidays Just for You
Last, Malaysia is home to the classic Borneo experience. If you’re looking for longboat rides down murky rivers, jungle treks through thick, lush vegetation, strange flora and fauna, hidden caves, and ancient tribal traditions, then Sarawak will provide, while those in search of reef diving, mountain trekking, or a trek through the incredible Maliau Basin should aim for Sabah.
The unique ethnic heritage of both Sabah and Sarawak is one of East Malaysia’s most enthralling attractions. Northern peoples such as the Kadazan and Dusun tribes are known for their love of music and life, while there are some 40 sub-ethnic groups in Sarawak, the largest percentage of which are the Iban. A good way to learn a little more about the diverse cultures here is to visit a cultural village such as the Mari Mari and Monsopiad cultural villages in Sabah.
There are few better places than East Malaysia to explore nature. You can explore the nature reserves of Semenggo and Sama Jaya and the wildlife sanctuaries of Pula Tukong and Lanjak Entimau, where, amongst other species, you can meet a family of Bornean Orangutans. The beaches are raw and bubbling over with pure Jurassic beauty - imagine flat golden sands leading into warm topaz waters, with emerald green peaks in the distance to frame the scene perfectly. The beaches in Kuching and Miri are amongst some of the prettiest in the region.
