What travelers are saying

"A Culture Trip curated trip is a must for anyone burnt out planning their own trips or going to a remote or unfamiliar area. Having a local insider was the highlight of the trip. From the moment we landed to the moment we had to go through security to leave, we were completely taken care of. Our insider gave us great recommendations for restaurants and was very adaptable to any situation that arose."

What travelers are saying

"Mario Marin is a gem!!! Tom and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip with him and driver Pablo. His unbridled enthusiasm and knowledge about all things Costa Rica kept us excited day after day! He is a wonderful person with a happy, friendly disposition, and impressively articulate and well informed. As a guide he was able to spot and identify birds that we could just barely see. As for the itinerary, it was the perfect amount of time in each location. We saw all the different monkeys and even the elusive Quetzal! Thank you so much! This trip was a once in a lifetime opportunity for us. Josh and Wild Planet Adventures will always be highly recommended by us!"

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

What travelers are saying

"We spent two wonderful weeks touring several of the best destinations in Portugal & Spain with a group of 16 people. Our guide (Fredy) was from Spain and intimately familiar with the region, including its rich history, attractions, and food/beverages. The tour was well-paced using a combinations of private vehicles (small buses and cabs), trains, and an airplane ride as well as a fair amount of walking to get around these two beautiful countries. We extended our stay in Lisbon to see more attractions and took a side trip to Fatima, Obidos, and Nazare that was also excellent. Would have liked to have a bit more time in a couple of the cities, but we'll just have to plan another trip!"

What travelers are saying

"My experience with TruTravels has been one of the best travel experiences to date. I was a little concerned about having a small group - but the tour leaders have made every activity fun and engaging. I would definitely say they are friends. The organisation and local knowledge was great, they were great fun whilst remaining professional and in control. The nights out in Canggu were great, getting to meet the other tour leaders and Tru staff meeting the other tour groups is a great idea. I really cannot stress enough how much of a great trip I've had with TruTravels. From booking, to pre-tour communications, through to the last 10 days - it has been well organised, managed and delivered by amazing guides. Thanks so much to Rianna, Marta and Jonny for their enthusiasm throughout the tour, their concern for when I was sick and generally for everything they did to make this an amazing Bali Experience. Much love for the tour guides!!!I would definitely recommend a trip with TruTravels!!"

Additional details

Is it safe to travel in Borneo?

Partially thanks to its remoteness as an island and the friendly nature of its populations towards travelers, Borneo is a safe country to visit. Common to all tours, travelling in another country with popular coastal or jungle regions may require the bringing of malaria tablets and certain shots if travelers feel so inclined.

Similarly, small island regions near Sabah have been investigated for instances of piracy, an event which all travel companies aim to avoid. By thoroughly examining where specific guided tours in Borneo are heading, travelers can better prepare themselves for the equipment or safety precautions that they wish to organize.

Along the same lines, speaking directly with travel guides or companies can provide travelers with the confidence to explore as much of Borneo as they are able to during their trip. 

Where is Borneo?

The third-largest island in the world, Borneo is located in the near center of Southeast Asia. Above the Java Sea and below the South China Sea, Borneo straddles the equator and neighbors Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia. It is divided into four regions, Brunei (independent country), Kalimantan (under Indonesian control), and Sabah and Sarawak (under Malaysian control).  

Getting to Borneo

Borneo is only accessible via air. While there are few direct flights into the country, it can be conveniently reached from Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, or Singapore. There are many daily flights into Borneo, which may be helpful for travelers from afar who wish to use their layovers to their advantage in these neighboring regions.

Travelers should speak with tour guides in advance about start-times for daily activities to ensure that they do not miss anything if issues with flight times occur. Depending on which city guided tours begin in, travelers will face different travel times, which is an important aspect to consider when it comes to the length of stay in Borneo.

Best time to go

Borneo’s location on the equator ensures that nearly any time of year is best for visiting. However, because of this location, it has a tropical climate across the island. This means that, for the majority of the year, the weather can be hot, humid, and rainy.

While this may be considered as a vacation in comparison to snow or dry heat, travelers will find that the months of March through October are the driest. Although this does not mean that a trip during this time will be without humidity, there is far less rain, allowing for safer hiking trips and smoother diving expeditions.

It is worth noting that these conclusions about the best time to visit Borneo are generalized and the weather is apt to change based on local regions. Thanks to Borneo’s unique geographic location, it is not known for heavy monsoons during its rainy seasons. Overall, Borneo is sunny year-round and will make future visits to other tropical countries much more exciting!
