Embark on an unforgettable journey into the depths of Borneo’s lush jungles. Our adventure begins with an exploration of the Kinabatangan River, where we will search for the orangutans and learn essential jungle survival skills.

The true challenge awaits as we set our sights on Mount Kinabalu, standing at 4,095m/13,435ft. Over three days, we will trek through dense rainforests teeming with exotic wildlife and rich vegetation, ultimately reaching the foot of Mount Kinabalu. The mountain is the highest in South-East Asia and as we ascend out of the jungle, we are met by huge granite walls. The summit will offer panoramic views over the whole of the island.

After the summit, we’ll unwind and celebrate our achievements on the idyllic islands off Kota Kinabalu, where pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters offer the perfect setting for relaxation and reflection.

Join us for an extraordinary expedition and Create your own jungle Legend.
