Few places on earth spark the imagination quite like Borneo.

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.
