A biking holiday of a lifetime is the only way to describe our Borneo holiday. The myth, legend and romance that surrounds this place - headhunters, home of the Wild Man of Borneo and "the land beneath the wind" is second to none.

Following our international flights to Kuala Lumpur or Singapore and domestic connections to Kota Kinabalu, we start our cycling holiday in what is undoubtedly Malaysia's premier nature and adventure destination; Sabah in northern Borneo.

Starting on two wheels we journey around this last great frontier for two unforgettable weeks of amazing biking. This is one of the world's last great wildernesses, a thick jungle home to thousands of varieties of flora and fauna. Through ancient rainforests we descend to stunning coastlines, all of which are like no place on earth. It would be crazy to go so far and limit things to two wheels - so we'll continue, on foot, to sample both the diverse and famous delights of this jungle paradise.

We take a two-day trek to the summit of the mythical Mount Kinabalu, at 4,101 metres, the highest peak in the region. We then trek with native people into the jungle where we "go wild", learn survival skills, sleep in a longhouse with the Rungus tribe and take a evening river safari through mangrove swamps, looking out for wildlife such as the proboscis monkey along the way.

The whole cycling holiday is linked together with plenty of classic gentle paced dirt and coastal biking and includes the option to visit a world-famous orangutan sanctuary too.
