Fascinating Adventure
Expedition Trips to Borneo
Indonesia Borneo Island is
a intriguing history of
Sultan Kingdoms and traditional Dayak Tribes, with a wealth of
ecological and cultural treasures that
survive deep within the rainforest jungle of Indonesia ’s
largest island. With its legacy of Chinese, Malay, Hindu, Muslim, and
Dutch influences, we discover a virtual mosaic of traditions
flourishing in the bustling seaports and riverside cities
of Borneo. Kalimantan ’s dense jungle and wide
terrain of wetlands have traditionally kept the region isolated from
all but the adventurous travelers, and along the upper reaches of
the rivers, you can discover the rich Dayak Culture. The
indigenous
Dayak settlements along the Rivers of Kalimantan is an ideal
way
to
experience the incredible culture, where village elders practice
traditional medicine and mark their status with intricate body tattoos
and remarkably heavy ear adornments, we will be warmly
welcomed guests in their traditional longhouses. At Borneo you can
enjoy a sightful experience of traditional culture and grand
diversity of exotic flora and wildlife from black orchids to fresh
water dolphins and orangutans, and venture ashore for captivating
jungle explorations and unforgettable encounters in our village visits.
Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime exploration of the Kalimantan Island!
The Adventure Tour Expeditions are a collection of exploratories and
Indonesia dream
destination journeys
