 The name of Borneo is better known than any of the other islands of the archipelago, partly because it is synonymous with the image of headhunters roaming wild tropical jungle and partly because of its extraordinary place in recent British colonial history.Borneo Indonesia is very advantageous place. This is world's third largest island that covering the area of 747,000 square kilometer and this area covers tremendous rivers.The best time to travel in borneo is between March and October. The wet season is from November to February, but the climate in this part of Asia can be very unpredictable so it is best to accept the possibility of rain at any time. Borneo is now divided into the two Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak, the Indonesian state of Kalimantan and the tiny, oil rich Sultanate of Brunei. Borneo is such an exciting place to travel, with its fascinating mix of both modern and ancient.
In Borneo there are two famous places without visiting those places your trip to Borneo would be incomplete.The Borneo jungles contain some of the oldest undisturbed areas of rainforest in the world. Some of the best and most areas of rainforest have been incorporated into National Parks, which makes a good enough reason to travel in Borneo. The World Wide Fund for Nature divides the island into seven distinct ecoregions.The Borneo lowland rain forest cover most of the island, with an area of 427,500 square kilometres (165,100sq mi). Other lowland ecoregions are the Borneo peat swamp Forests , the Sundaland heath forests, the Southwest Borneo freshwater swamp forests, and the Sunda Shelf mangroves.The two places to travel in Borneo are Turtle Island and watch the little guys lay eggs on the secluded beaches. Our adventure activities include jungle and mountain trekking, mountain biking, rafting and diving. In this way we can build our trip unique and multi activity packages away from the usual, predictable tourist routes.
                The island historically had extensive rainforest cover, but the area shrank due to heavy logging for the Malaysian and Indonesian plywood industry. Half of the annual global tropical timber acquisition comes from Borneo. Furthermore, Palm oil plantations are rapidly encroaching on the last remnants of primary rainforest. The rainforest was also greatly destroyed from the forest fires of 1997 to 1998, which were started by the locals to clear the forests for crops and perpetuated by an exceptionally dry El Niño season during that period. During the great fire, hotspots could be seen on Satelite images and the haze thus created affected the surrounding countries of Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. In February 2008, the Malaysian government announced theEnergy plan to harvest the virgin hinterlands of Northern Borneo.This is best place for experienced jungle trekkers, cyclists and off-road mountain bikers, 5 star hotel honeymooners, photographers, bird watchers, schools, charities and multinational companies needing film locations and complete logistical support are among our clients. Borneo is no longer a land where it is necessary to "rough" it. The majority of the tours aim to show you the highlights of the area without the necessity of having to trek through the jungle for days on end. Should one of these tours not suit your exact requirements, we will be pleased to design a tour especially for you.
