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.

Home to the oldest rainforest in the world, Borneo enjoys a level of biodiversity seen in no other place on the planet. The unique habitats and sheer stretch of lowland forest, though severely impacted by deforestation during the past 50 years, create individual and isolated homes for species not seen anywhere else on the planet. Around 100 species found on the island are endemic to Borneo, including proboscis monkeys, Bornean orangutans, and Borneo pygmy elephants.
