Transfers BBC One’s Celebrity Race Across the World revealed Borneo at breathless speed. Now it is yours to savour, one unhurried moment at a time.
From the five-star Shangri-La Rasa Ria, where ancient forest meets a sweep of private sand, set out to taste Kota Kinabalu’s night market at twilight before a Malaysian feast with traditional dance. Wander among rare orchids beneath Mount Kinabalu, then cruise the Kinabatangan River as proboscis monkeys gather at dusk.
The Lunar New Year arrives as you embark Oceania Riviera, with an overnight in Singapore to join the festivities. On board, cuisine is the guiding passion, with specialty restaurants such as Red Ginger and Jacques at no extra charge. Ashore, linger overnight in Saigon for steaming bowls of pho, and explore Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi, Phuket, Penang and Ko Samui, before Bangkok’s temples bid you a radiant farewell.
As the sun sets over Sabah’s capital, your evening begins at Kota Kinabalu’s colourful night market, a treasure trove of trinkets, crafts and souvenirs, perfect for a spot of bargain hunting. A scenic drive through the city follows, passing Australia Place, a historic landmark that offers a glimpse into Kota Kinabalu’s wartime heritage and the enduring ties between Sabah and Australia. Dinner is a sumptuous Malaysian feast, accompanied by a vibrant performance of traditional Sabah dances. Afterwards, return to your hotel or linger in town to enjoy the city’s lively nightlife at your own pace.
Leave the city behind on a scenic two-hour drive along winding mountain roads through the Crocker Range, passing rural villages and paddy fields. Along the way, stop at Nabalu Market, where local people sell fresh fruit, home-grown vegetables and handcrafted souvenirs. On arrival at Kinabalu Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you’ll feel the refreshing change in the mountain air as you explore the nature trails of the Botanical Garden. On a clear day, you may glimpse Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak between the Himalayas and New Guinea. After lunch, continue to the Poring area for a 15-minute rainforest walk to the secluded Kipungit Waterfall.
Fly to Sandakan and step into Borneo’s wild heart. At the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, watch rescued orangutans swing through the canopy to the feeding platform as they prepare for life back in the wild. Next door, the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre offers a rare glimpse of the world’s smallest bear in its forest home. Continue to Bilit on the Kinabatangan, Sabah’s longest river, for a late-afternoon cruise in search of proboscis monkeys, hornbills, crocodiles and, with luck, wild orangutans or pygmy elephants. Spend the night at Bilit Adventure Lodge, lulled by the sounds of the jungle.
Optional extras (payable locally): Guided night walk or tree planting
Wake to the calls of gibbons and birdsong for an early cruise on the Kinabatangan, when wildlife is at its most active. After breakfast, return to Sandakan to explore its past, from the moving Sandakan Memorial Park to the hilltop Puu Jih Shih Temple, with sweeping views over the bay. Visit St Michael’s, one of Sabah’s oldest churches, browse the bustling Central Market, and discover colonial life at Agnes Keith House, before ending with refreshments and a final view at the English Tea House.
