Description
This 10 Day Luxury Borneo Cruise & Tour With Flights combines the very best of Borneo’s wildlife, culture and tropical island relaxation. Begin your journey in Sandakan and Sepilok, where you will visit the renowned Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre, with the opportunity to witness these incredible animals during their feeding sessions.
Continue your adventure with a unique cruise liveaboard experience on the Luxe Wildlife Voyager along Borneo’s Kinabatangan River. The impressive Lower-Kinabatangan sustains a globally significant ecosystem, recognised as Sabah’s first and Malaysia’s largest RAMSAR site. Besides being the habitat for Borneo’s native orangutan and proboscis monkey, the adjacent forest stands as one of only two locations worldwide where 10 primate species coexist.. Embarking on a river cruise during dawn or dusk provides the prime chance to witness the vibrant wildlife. Encounter the Bornean pygmy elephant grazing along the riverbanks, marvel at the acrobatics of the Proboscis leaping between trees, and perhaps catch a glimpse of a wild orangutan.
Return to Sandakan to discover the city’s fascinating history and local culture. Visit historic landmarks, enjoy a traditional cooking experience at a coconut farm, explore a fisherman’s village and cruise through the mangroves at sunset, followed by an enchanting firefly-watching experience.
Finally, conclude your tour with a relaxing stay at the luxurious Gaya Island Resort, nestled amongst tropical rainforest and pristine waters within the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. Enjoy time at leisure on this beautiful island paradise before your return flight to Australia.
