Adventure for all ages
Discover unforgettable family holidays in Borneo, where rainforest adventures, wildlife encounters, and tropical beaches create the perfect mix of fun and exploration for all ages.
Borneo is an incredible place to spark children’s curiosity and create lasting family memories. From spotting wild orangutans in the rainforest to snorkelling over coral reefs and staying in unique jungle lodges, it’s packed with natural wonders and hands-on adventures that suit all ages.
What we love about family holidays in Borneo is the variety. You can head upriver in a traditional longboat to see pygmy elephants and proboscis monkeys, trek through rainforest trails with local guides, and explore canopy walkways high in the trees. On the coast, places like Gaya Island or the beaches of Sabah offer a slower pace, with clear waters and calm bays ideal for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding.
Accommodation ranges from barefoot beach resorts to eco-lodges in the rainforest, with flexible itineraries that can be tailored to your children’s interests and energy levels. Whether you're planning your first big adventure together or travelling with teens who are up for a challenge, Borneo offers the chance to disconnect from screens, learn something new, and enjoy time together in the wild.
