Borneo is like no other place on earth. The sheer variety in ecosystems, landscapes, and wildlife is something everyone should experience at least once in their lifetimes. With the oldest rainforest in the world, one of the tallest peaks in South East Asia, and some of the continent’s best beaches, it’s an extraordinary place.
