Orangutans, pygmy elephants and rainforest river cruises, with islands to finish. Here's what Borneo is like with the family, when to go and how long to stay.
Fill in the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card online before you land. Check entry rules on GOV.UK before you book.
March to September is drier and best for wildlife, river trips and the islands. November to January is the wettest time, though rain usually comes in short, heavy bursts. It's hot and humid all year.
Watch rescued orangutans at feeding time, next to a sun bear sanctuary.
Boat trips to see proboscis monkeys, hornbills and maybe pygmy elephants.
Cool mountain trails, giant pitcher plants and a canopy walk below Mount Kinabalu.
A short boat from Kota Kinabalu to snorkelling beaches.
Deep rainforest lodges with night walks and a treetop walkway.
Grilled fish, satay and tropical fruit by the waterfront.
Yes, for families who want real jungle wildlife. Malaysian Borneo is easy to get around, English is widely spoken, and the lodges welcome children.
Ten to fourteen nights covers Sepilok, the Kinabatangan River and a few beach days.
No, British passport holders can visit Malaysia for a holiday without a visa, but must fill in the digital arrival card. Check GOV.UK for the current rules.
Fly via Kuala Lumpur or Singapore to Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, the main gateway for wildlife.
Put Borneo on standby with everyone's other ideas. You each spread your points in secret, get one veto, and the draw picks where you go.
