10 Days | Small Group Tour in Borneo with Intrepid

Few places on earth spark the imagination quite like Borneo. It is a land defined by the hum of the rainforest, the mist rising off winding rivers, and encounters with some of the rarest creatures on the planet. For the traveller looking to completely disconnect from the modern world and plug directly into nature, Intrepid’s 10-day small-group tour offers an unmatched escape into the wild. Led by a passionate local guide who can spot a camouflaged proboscis monkey from a distance, this itinerary captures Borneo at its most authentic. It is a beautifully paced journey that highlights the delicate balance of wildlife conservation, rich indigenous culture, and pure island relaxation.
