This nine day bike safari expedition is an active and exciting way to discover Borneo and its wildlife. Pedal your way to some of the best wildlife parks in Sarawak, western Borneo, to meet the orangutans that famously live here and discover the huge variety of flora and fauna indigenous to the island. The guided cycling holiday moves through a fascinating range of landscapes and terrain, from thick jungle to cool mountains, islands where turtles hatch and the mangrove forests that line some of the coast. Along the way you will cross rivers, ride boats and trek through rainforests, in daylight and darkness, as you journey from one beautiful region to the next. The bird and wildlife of Borneo is waiting to be discovered and photographed. You can expect to see hornbills, proboscis monkeys, sun bears, Bornean frogs, crocodiles and Irrawaddy dolphins as well as Borneo's superstar resident, the orangutan. To fuel your days in the saddle, you will be served the varied and delicious authentic cuisine of Borneo, which has been influenced by the many different ethnic groups that make it home. At every stop, you'll have the chance to meet the wonderfully friendly local people, who greet you with genuine warmth. The tour begins in Kuching, the capital of Sarawak. This is a lovely old town with a unique history, revealed by cycling along its 12km heritage trail. You can also meet local people at their kampong wooden houses. From here, we set off on our bikes, riding to seven different national parks and covering around 200km in nine days. Accommodation is in a mixture of hotels, chalets and cabins in the national parks and beach resorts.
