Borneo Coastal Biking Tour Overview
Is there any way to experience the perfect coastline of Borneo than on a bike with the sea breeze rushing past you? The Borneo Coastal Biking Tour shows you some of the most beautiful parts of the Borneo coast on a quick, efficient bike tour.
You’ll ride deep into wildlife refuges, spotting orangutans high in the trees. Cycle past blooming Rafflesia, the largest (and stinkiest!) flower in the world.
