What Our Adventurers Think:
If you’re looking for a unique experience and getting of the beaten track this is the thing for you. In 4 months of travelling this was definitely one of my highlights. Me and my brother spend 4 days in Sarawak jungle with the help of Adventure Alternative Borneo. Nick did a great job with putting together a perfect itinerary for us.
We stayed at a remote longhouse and in a jungle camp next to a beautiful waterfall. The locals were very friendly and happy and the food they cooked for us was amazing. We spent the days trekking in the jungle and going down the river by boat. We even went trekking to a waterfall that even the locals barely knew existed. As far as we know we were the first tourists there ever, that’s something you don’t get to do everyday! Our guide was also nice and very knowledgeable. An incredible experience!
