Headhunters of Borneo Family Holiday

In Bako NP you walk trails and look for wild boar, monitor lizards and proboscis monkeys. Next, head for the shore of the South China Sea to a retreat at the foot of Santubong Mountain. Unique treehouse accommodation is a real winner with the kids.

Travel to Sepilok - home of the orang-utan rehabilitation project where you'll learn about this endangered animal. On Turtle Island, relax and snorkel, hopefully seeing these marine reptiles come ashore to lay eggs in the evening. End your adventure at Kota Kinabalu, where you can enjoy a snorkelling trip to beautiful coral islands or go white water rafting (both optional).Set off by road and longboat deep into Sarawak, where with your Iban hosts you'll hike jungle trails, try Iban-style fishing and swim at a waterfall, giving you a true picture of Iban lifestyle, culture and hospitality.

First stop is a city tour to discover the charms of this riverine city established by the first White Rajah of Sarawak. Old Chinese temples and colorful markets dot almost every corner.
