Highlights of Kuala Lumpur & Borneo Suggested Itinerary
This carefully designed itinerary takes you from Kuala Lumpur's cacophony to the rainforest's serenity and the oh-so-beautiful beaches of Kota Kinabalu.
On a holiday of contrasts, begin with an urban adventure in Kuala Lumpur before flying to Malaysian Borneo for old-world charm and exceptional food in Kota Kinabalu. Then you’ll retreat to the rainforest where orangutans, monkeys, and Borneo elephants thrive before spending your final few days winding down in a luxury beach resort.
Itinerary overview
Days 1-3
Kuala Lumpur
Welcome to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia — a place where modern towers sit side-by-side with colonial architecture. There’s enough time to visit the famous Petronas Towers, get swept up in colourful night markets, and revel in gastronomic delights.
Recommended Hotel
Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
A favourite choice in Kuala Lumpur, with award-winning dining and an outdoor pool.
Days 4-5
Kota Kinabalu
A two-and-a-half-hour flight will take you to Malaysian Borneo, home of Kota Kinabalu city, affectionately known as KK. It’s a gateway to the region’s magnificent scenery, but linger here first to enjoy this foodie paradise with a seemingly endless choice of restaurants and hawker stalls before escaping the city for the coast, where the rainforest meets the sea.
Recommended Hotel
Shangri-La Rasa Ria, Kota Kinabalu
Backed by rainforest and overlooking a white sand bay, Shangri-La Rasa Ria is both escapist and adventurous.
Day 6
Danum Valley
Catch a short early flight from Kota Kinabalu to Lahad Datu, where your rainforest adventure starts with a drive to the Borneo Rainforest Lodge in the Danum Valley. You’ll head out into the jungle on a trek along a 360-metre-long treetop canopy walkway to get among the sights and sounds of the rainforest. The outdoor activities continue after nightfall when you hop in an open-air jeep and set off on a nature drive searching for nocturnal animals.
Day 7
Danum Valley
Today starts with a trek to Coffin Cliff, an ancient burial site where wooden coffins are wedged into the cliffside. Your efforts are rewarded with a panoramic view of the Danum Valley. On your return journey, there’s time for a refreshing dip in a natural pool. Later, you can choose a jungle trek or try tubing down the Danum River in the afternoon, and then a thrilling night walk rounds off a memorable day.
Day 8
Danum Valley
Your final adventure is up to you: birdwatching along the canopy walkway or a guided walk along the trails. Relaxation lies ahead when you return to Kota Kinabalu for a few beach days.
Days 9-13
Kota Kinabalu
Head back to Kota Kinabalu and the beach for some post-adventure R&R surrounded by forest-clad landscapes.
