For travellers with purpose

Discover the heart of BorneoBorneo Ethical Adventures guides travellers into the pulsing heart of Borneo, giving you a taste of its major attractions while also revealing hidden treasures in vibrant backstreets and in the pristine depths of its jungles.

You’ll never forget the spectacle of great flocks of bats filling the sky as they pour from Deer cave, or the enchanting feel of the jungle alive with dazzlingly coloured butterflies and birds and howling troupes of monkeys.

Our grassroots adventures also offer you the chance to contribute to and connect with this natural wonderland and its people through volunteering. You may find yourself smitten by baby orangutans as you volunteer for a day with Project Orangutan. And you’re bound to experience heart-warming and soul-enriching encounters with locals as you turn your hand to projects such as painting village schools.

Together we can craft packages to suit the interests and fitness levels of your group, or you can book existing packages that offer the chance to experience the best of Borneo.

How it all began ... As a longtime traveller and adventurer, I jumped at the chance to live and work in Borneo managing Mulu National Park, a World Heritage Area. I’d spent my late teens and twenties roaming the world’s distant corners, before returning to Western Australia to live in the wild Kimberley region where I raised my two, now grown-up, beautiful boys. Returning to Perth in 2001, I enjoyed my job managing Yanchep National Park but yearned for more adventure.

I fell under the spell of Borneo’s wild reaches and embraced the opportunity to live and learn in one of the world’s most studied tropical rainforests.

Where the local word for thank you – “Jian kenin”– translates to “I feel good in the heart’ . Where there is no word for the colour ‘blue’ because the rainforest canopy was always above. Where so much is spoken in silence and people smile with their eyes. Never before have I encountered people so quick to welcome strangers, to share their culture, their homes, their food and to warm hearts with their dazzling smiles.

Let me introduce you to this world and let me share with you the chance to connect and contribute to their community and land.
