Dave
Asked on May 29th, 2025Is it possible for us to all stay in the same room?
Intrepid TravelOperator•Written May 2025Wherever possible we will put you in a triple room. Please be aware that in some places triple rooms are in short supply. This means that a triple room will often be a twin room with a rollaway bed or mattress on the floor. Where triple rooms aren't available it will be at your discretion which of your family takes the single room.

Sabrina
Asked on July 20th, 2022How 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?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written 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.

Asked on March 23rd, 2022What'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.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written 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.
