One of the most adventurous itineraries we offer, this Borneo-Indonesia trip will take you to see some of the world's most wild and incredible beings. Get up close to the Komodo Dragon by day, while living on a large and comfortable private boat by night. Enjoy food by a private chef as you watch the sun set and rise from your home on the sea. In Borneo, trek to see wild Orangutans in their natural and undisturbed habitat. Previous trips were successful in spotting mothers as they cared for, and carried, their beautiful young. For many, this is a bucket list trip. For Jungle Diaries, it is a trip for the history books as we celebrate a decade of taking this excursion with special yet-to-be-revealed itinerary items.
