About This Tour
The Maliau Basin, aka "Borneo's Lost World," is a massive, ancient crater where nature has been penning its epic tale for millions of years. This 3 day, 2 night invite you to plunges into a wild wonderland! This is one of the final frontiers of untamed nature on the world, basically a secret until 1988, when a scientific expedition finally spilt the beans on this hidden gem. Who knew that over 50% of the basin is still playing hide and seek? It might just be the secret lair of some long-lost species! Reaching it requires 4x4 vehicles stay and meal inclusive. In the Maliau Basin there are trees so tall they throw shade like a pro, wildlife flying around like it’s a game of tag, overgrown carnivorous pitcher plants ready to impress, and an ethereal moss that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a fairy tale. With only a handful of visitors allowed each year, this tour is your golden ticket to a place that’s practically a secret!
