Brimming with natural wonders, from impressive cave formations to hectares of equatorial rainforests, with flora and fauna to blow your mind! Borneo is a melting pot of cultures and cuisines. With some of the oldest tribes in Asia still living by their age-old traditions. You will experience their way of life with a homestay in one of Sarawak’s unique Longhouses.
