Guided trekking tours deep into the Maliau Basin rainforest
What do our guests say?
Laura and Davide from Italy spent five days trekking deep into the Maliau Basin rainforest. Guided by an expert local guide, they encountered remarkable wildlife and plant life – including Rafflesia, Nepenthes, gibbons, and civets. The waterfalls, forest silence, and night sky left a lasting impression.

The Maliau Basin protects diverse forest types and endangered wildlife, offering unparalleled opportunities for research and discovery.
"They are still discovering new species in Maliau Basin"
“The Maliau basin is Known as Sabah’s Lost World is a large round area of primary rainforest surrounded by a high cliff. It’s is only accessible where the river runs out. An area that has never been inhabited and many parts of it have never been visited by man. Not many parts of the world that can say that and I love how they are still discovering new species – I am sure they are a few disease cures hidden in there somewhere.”

“Our family felt a deep connection with nature.”
“Visiting Maliau Basin was like stepping into a different time. The journey was challenging but every step was rewarded with breathtaking sights. Standing at the seven-tiered Maliau Falls, surrounded by untouched jungle, our family felt a deep connection with nature.”

“It was truly a great experience”
“We have just returned from the Maliau Forest, and it was truly a great experience — probably the most authentic place we have seen during our holiday in Borneo. We saw the Rafflesia, many different species of mushrooms and Nepenthes, gibbons, civets, and beautiful insects.”
Davide and Laura, Italy
