TAILOR-MADE TRAVEL

ITINERARY INSPIRATION

Our destination specialists will prepare the itinerary of a lifetime.

LUXURY HOLIDAYS & TOURS BORNEO

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.

Testimonial 5
“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”
Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.

“THREE HOLIDAYS IN AND STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEDED”
Dan Mills organised perfectly a challenging itinerary to incorporate a wedding we were attending in Kathmandu. A fantastic balance of trekking, rafting, safari, sightseeing and R&R. This was our third holiday with Ultimate Travel and we cannot recommend highly enough

“SERVICE THAT GOES THE EXTRA MILE”

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
