Is it possible to book this tour with single rooms, as we would be 2–3 solo travellers? And would it be possible to add a 3-day extension in Singapore afterwards?

Yes, we can certainly assist with both requests. We're happy to provide a single supplement quote for 2–3 solo travellers on the Borneo Family Holiday Comfort tour starting and ending in Kota Kinabalu. Additionally, we can also help arrange a 3-day post-tour accommodation at our finishing point hotel after the tour concludes.

I am interested in touring Borneo with my two daughters, 12 and 10, and I was wondering if the accommodations can be together?

Family of three - Wherever possible we will put you in a triple room. Please be aware that in a handful of places triple rooms are in short supply. This means that, in practice, a triple room will often simply be a twin room with a mattress on the floor or a further bed squashed in. Where it is impossible to provide a triple room, you will have to decide which of your party takes the single room.

Can you arrange transfers from & to kota kinabalu airport and if the daily transfers are included in the package?

Transportation while on tour is included. Intrepid Travel offers a pre arranged airport transfer service option and can be arranged at additional cost. A complimentary airport arrival transfer is included; valid if you are arriving on Day 1 or if you have booked pre-tour accommodation through us. You must provide your flight details to your booking agent at least 14 days prior to travel.

We loved our Intrepid Borneo Family Comfort trip in July 19. Sheila was our guide and helped make it a magical experience for us. Our 7 year old daughter loved the whole trip, from seeing the amazing wildlife to the stunning views and lots of fun and games with the other guests in our group. Sheila was great at looking after our group and was very organised and helpful. We even managed to see loads of wildlife up close which exceeded our expectations. The food was ok for vegetarians- both my wife and I are vegetarians. The accommodation was fab too. We would highly recommend Intrepid again, it’s great for getting to see lots in a short space of time - in a way that felt manageable and thoroughly enjoyable.Show more

  What is the difference between Borneo Family Holiday Comfort and Borneo Family Holiday? Some people seem to feel like they werent looked after well and some people are not happy with the accommodations.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written September 2024
  Borneo Family Holiday Comfort is a comfort style trip with a higher level of comfort, private transport more often, a more relaxed pace, and accommodation above the essentials. Borneo Family Holiday is an original style trip with local and private transport, tourist-class hotels (2 to 3 stars), and potential camping or homestay experiences.
