Discover rare wildlife, ancient rainforests and lush islands on your luxury Borneo tour

Discover one of the most captivating destinations in Southeast Asia, on a luxury Borneo tour with Jacada. A compound of pristine rainforests, beaches and mountain ranges, Borneo is an off-the-beaten-track adventure. Explore this wildlife-rich island with distinctive private experiences and memorable activities on a bespoke safari trip, arranged by a dedicated travel designer.

The island is home to endangered species like orangutans, pygmy elephants, Malayan sunbears, proboscis monkeys and clouded leopards. Our team have handpicked safari experiences with the conservation of wildlife, environment and communities in mind. Take guided expeditions through the Kinabatangan Rainforest in Sandakan and Danum Valley for excellent wildlife viewing opportunities.

For the perfect add-on to your jungle expedition, we can arrange a hop over to Borneo’s collection of idyllic, palm-fringed islands, such as Lankayan or Mataking, where the wildlife experience continues with a wealth of aquatic life, such as sea turtles and whale sharks. You can also learn about culture and tradition with visits to markets in Kota Kinabalu and nearby jungle water villages, or explore rural Sabah on peaceful bicycle trips.

Start planning your luxury trip to Borneo by speaking with one of travel experts. They’ll be able to arrange an adventure, just for you, listening to your interests and passions and sharing their first-hand insights and experiences.
