FAQs

• Kuching: What items should I pack for this trip? You’re gonna be exploring a tropical jungle, so we recommend that you get insect repellent, a torch, a raincoat, good walking shoes, a sun hat, and of course – binocs (a must-have!). For the beach, you should get sandals, swimwear, personal toiletries, and sun cream (preferably sweatproof!). Plus, you’ll need an overnight bag on some nights of this trip. Pro-tip: Extra-light cotton clothes are perfect for Borneo’s weather.
