We are happy to announce our upcoming tours for 2008.

We are very excited to add Borneo, a land of hornbills, unique wildlife and unusual plants, to our list of exciting destinations. In the mid-nineteenth century, Charles Darwin once described Borneo as “one giant wild, untidy, luxuriant hothouse, made by Nature for herself.” Even today, Borneo is among the best destination for a tropical rainforest adventure. The island’s unspoiled rainforest wilderness is a warehouse of astounding biological diversity and amazing landscapes. Every scientific expedition in the recent years has discovered new species of plants and animals, some of which are only found in Borneo and nowhere else in the world.
