Hike through a 130-million-year-old rainforest, spot wildlife and more.
This 3-day, 2-night trek into Danum Valley is a chance to explore one of the oldest rainforests on Earth, far from the usual tourist trail. While most Borneo trips stick to the well-trodden paths, this one takes you deep into a 130-million-year-old rainforest — a lush, untouched world where wild orangutans, pygmy elephants, and gibbons still roam free. But here’s the thing: spotting wildlife isn’t guaranteed – and that’s what makes it special. It’s about truly immersing yourself in one of Borneo's last great wildernesses rather than ticking off sightings.If you’re the kind of traveller who’d rather swap a packed tourist site for a quiet jungle trail, and you’re happy with simple comforts in exchange for raw natural beauty, this trip is for you. It’s led by local guides who are incredibly knowledgeable about the forest, and you'll come away not just with great memories but also a deeper understanding of conservation and life in the rainforest.This is perfect for conscious travellers looking to connect with nature, learn about real conservation work, and support sustainable tourism in East Borneo. The experience is in a join-in small group, so it's great for solo travellers or couples wanting to share the adventure with likeminded folks.What to ExpectGuided treks through ancient rainforest trails with expert local guidesChances to spot orangutans, pygmy elephants, gibbons and exotic birdsNight walks to discover the rainforest’s nocturnal side — a real highlightOptional sunrise drive to Bukit Atur and night drive (additional cost)Refreshing dip in the Ulu Segama River after a jungle hikeLearn about active conservation and research at Danum Valley Field CentreSimple but comfortable accommodation in the heart of the jungleGood to KnowThis trip requires a minimum of 2 people to go aheadBring proper trekking gear: sturdy walking shoes, rain jacket, breathable clothes and quick-dry itemsEntrance fees to the Field Centre are includedOptional activities like the sunrise drive or night drive cost extraThe jungle trails are uneven but manageable – fine for anyone with moderate fitness who can walk for a few hoursLeech socks are provided (yes, they’re necessary!)FacilitiesDouble Room with Fan, Shared Bathroom, TowelsDorm Bed Room with Fan, Shared Bathroom, TowelsDouble Room with Private Bathroom (Ensuite), Towels
