What’s included:

Here’s what comes as standard in all of our holidays:
Pricing:
Each journey is shaped around you, so costs vary depending on season, flight choices, accommodation and how much is built in.
As a guide, most of our two-week trips fall between £5,000 and £10,000 per person.
Some fall below that, particularly for families or travel outside peak periods. Others go beyond it when the brief includes business-class flights, longer stays, or more ambitious hotel choices.
We discuss budget early, so everything is clear from the start.

“Head to the Kinabatangan River for an early morning wildlife cruise. The mist rising over the water, the calls of proboscis monkeys in the trees, and the chance to see wild pygmy elephants make it an incredible way to start the day.”

The Best Times to Go on a Honeymoon in Borneo
Borneo is a year-round destination, but the best time for a honeymoon depends on what you want to experience.
For dry, sunny weather ideal for wildlife spotting and jungle trekking, the months between March and October are typically best, especially around May to July when orangutan sightings are more frequent and river levels are ideal for boat safaris.
If you’re looking to combine adventure with downtime on the beach, April to September offers calm seas and clear skies along Sabah’s coastline.
Rain showers can occur any time (this is the rainforest, after all), but with the right planning, they rarely disrupt a well-designed trip. We’ll help time your honeymoon around what matters most to you.

A Borneo honeymoon with ETG is about experiencing the wild together, without sacrificing comfort.

Stay in rainforest lodges where eco-luxury meets total tranquillity, visit orangutan sanctuaries in Sepilok, and hike to secret waterfalls far from the crowds.
