Tours snapshot
Overview
Malaysia / Borneo school tours are a fantastic opportunity for students studying biology, ecology, and environmental conservation, Borneo being home to some of the oldest living rainforests on earth, with a vast array of plants and the world’s rarest and most impressive wildlife. This educational tour in Malaysia / Borneo includes time at wildlife rehabilitation centers where students will observe orangutans and sun bears, jungle trekking to significant biological sites, and a tree planting program to assist with the regeneration of the rainforest. Beyond wilderness and wildlife, Australian war history is also a focus, with the chance to explore the poignant memorial at Sandakan.
Your school can incorporate a wide range of projects into this suggested itinerary to suit your trip's outcome. See our Project Types.
