    The trip was exactly what we were looking for, a mix of experience, relaxation and getting to know other group members. What we didn't expect was how looked after we would feel having a guide who organised us and looked out for us.

    Enjoyed most of the trip- felt a bit gutted that the itinerary changed so didn't get to do all we had hoped for and felt that the those days where the itinerary had changed weren't as well lacked activities.

    Sabrina

    Asked on July 20th, 2022

    How does the international return flight to Melb. work? Is it up to the passenger/s to book it or do you book it. Why isn't it included as happens in most tours?

    Flights / Transfers
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten July 2022

      Our tours do not include international flights to/from your home city as we have passengers from all over the world therefore the price of flights changes quite drastically from city to city (or country to country). Most of the transport on ground in included however you would have to book your return international travel independently.

  • P

    Philip

    Asked on March 23rd, 2022

    What's the difference between this trip and the Borneo Family Holiday Comfort trip? The itineraries look very similar. We would be coming in July or August of this year.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten April 2022

      We have two versions of the Family Holiday, one being in the Comfort style so the hotels will be nicer. Both tours are very much focused on Wildlife and Family time so it will depend on what style of hotel you would prefer throughout.
