Borneo is the world’s third largest island located in the middle of the Malacka archipelago in Southeast Asia. It is politically shared between Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. A Shangri-La for the adventurer, a beach paradise for the sun and bathing enthusiasts and last but not least – a paradise for the diver. Experience wildlife – in the sea and on land.

Trips to Borneo with Nygren Lind Travel agency

Start your trip to Borneo with a couple of nights in Kuala Lumpur. City, jungle, diving, sun and bath will make it unbeatable. Kota Kabalu is a charming city and the entrance to the island, located between the jungle and the South China Sea. The island’s largest fish market is here and is worth a visit. Try local delicacies – such as Fish Head Curry – if you dare! If you want to lay on beautiful beaches for lazy days, you may visit the Rahman National Park.

Borneo is a year-round destination

You can travel to this paradise all-year-round – the climate is comfortable and the rain showers that occasionally come, are more refreshing than cooling. The active explorer can climb the Mt Kinabalu. breathe in fresh mountain air, enjoy a botanical paradise with orchids and beautiful flora. The Orangutan is probably the most well-known animal of Borneo mammals and the only human monkey race known in Asia. In addition to the orangutan hatches, several mammals in the jungle’s shadows, but they are difficult to detect.
