ITINERARY INSPIRATION
Our destination specialists will prepare the itinerary of a lifetime.
LAND OF ENCHANTING FORESTS
Stray off the beaten path and discover a land of enchanting forests, remote jungle lodges, untouched beaches, authentic experiences and some of the most exotic and rare species on earth.
For our specialists, the ultimate Borneo holiday experience is to trek through the dense jungle of the centuries-old, virgin rainforest of the Danum Valley…to finally come face to face with an orangutan.
Watching, in close proximity, as Borneo’s ‘old men of the forest’ play, doze and eat in their natural habitat is simply magical. But it’s not just the orangutans that make a holiday here special.
Ask us to create you a luxury, tailor-made itinerary and you could find yourself walking through tropical jungle and floating along meandering rivers. You’ll be surrounded by flying squirrels, proboscis monkeys, pigmy elephants and a kaleidoscopic array of dazzling birds.
You will wander through jaw-dropping caves, the largest of them big enough to house St Paul’s Cathedral. You’ll swim in tropical pools and dine beside spectacular waterfalls. You’ll take longboat trips along winding tributaries and be welcomed into traditional longhouses by the local Iban people. And with a string of paradise islands just a stone’s throw away, you’ll be lounging on immaculate beaches in no time.
Borneo is the world’s third largest island, and one of the most unspoiled regions on Earth, with a variety of habitats; from pristine coastline, to misty jungles and majestic mountains. If you’ve been inspired to experience it for yourself, speak to one of our Borneo experts.

TRUSTED BY FELLOW TRAVELLERS
Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
