Borneo? Isn't that the place with the famous orangutan?

You betcha! And until now it's been an absolute bugger to get to…

Seriously, flying here for under $800 is as rare as they come - almost as rare as the 100 endemic species that call the world's largest rainforest home!

The island, in case you didn't know, is actually shared between 3 countries: Brunei, Malaysia, and Indonesia. You'll be flying into the Malaysian part, Kota Kinabalu, the gateway to wildlife, mountain hikes, and tropical islands. 

Flights to Kuala Lumpur also look pretty tempting, especially for those of you craving city life. But don't sleep on Malacca! It's not as popular as Penang, and that's why we love it :-)
