Enjoy a tropical family adventure combining jungles, wildlife and beaches
Borneo is a tropical paradise fit for the whole family. Get up close to the island’s ‘wild men’ at Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and to the big-nosed proboscis monkeys at Labuk Bay Sanctuary. Enjoy an idyllic island getaway and snorkel among colourful fish and sea turtles. From a jungle lodge, we head out by longboat and on foot in search of wild macaques and crocodiles. There’s time, too, for exploring the trails in Kinabalu National Park and for relaxing in the thermal pools of Poring Hot Springs.
Borneo has an equatorial monsoon climate with the weather remaining similar throughout the year. It is hot and humid; temperatures are 23C-33C (73F-91F) during the day and rarely drop below 20C (68F) at night. The rainy season is from November to January/February and the dry season is from May to September, though it can rain at any time. A Borneo rain shower is quite an event!
This trip is rated Activity Level 3 (Moderate).
It was designed for 9 to 12-year-olds but is also suitable for 13 to 16-year-olds and uncovers the best family-friendly parts of Borneo using a mixture of private buses, boats and flights.
Our Family Activity Levels are aimed at children in the primary or ‘Designed for’ age group. We are confident it is also suitable for those in the ‘Also for’ age range; however, if your child is in this secondary category, they may find it a little easier. Please see the Family Activity Levels on our website for further information. When grading our trips, we consider multiple factors, such as the pace, level of activity involved, amount of travel time and weather.
Anyone in good health should be able to go on this trip as there is no real physical difficulty involved, although we do a fair amount of walking in some places and the heat and humidity can be tiring. Travel time is kept to a minimum, although there are some long travel days and, as we use local transport at times, it may sometimes be quite cramped and without air conditioning. On some long travel days, we depart early to ensure we optimise our time at our next destination.
Some of the accommodation is basic, staying in guesthouses and homestays with limited facilities. Some facilities are shared and some accommodation has cold water only. Much of the accommodation is comfortable with air-conditioning and private bathrooms.
Borneo has an equatorial monsoon climate with the weather remaining similar throughout the year. Only in the mountains does it get cooler.
Local people and other Asian tourists may want to take photos of themselves with your children particularly if they are young, blond and have blue eyes, you shouldn’t be surprised if they do this without asking permission first.
