| Day | Destination | Description |
| Day 1 | Kota Kinabalu | Sample delicious Malaysian food or scour the city markets for local handicrafts. |
| Days 2-3 | Mt Kinabalu | It's a tough trek to Laban Rata, at 3,300 m above sea level and with a pre-dawn start the following day, but sunrise at the summit and the spectacular views make it all worth it. There's nothing quite like standing atop South-East Asia's tallest mountain. |
| Day 4 | Turtle Island | Witness the life cycle of giant green turtles and be touched by the incredible obstacles tiny hatchlings must overcome to make it to the sea. |
| Day 5 | Sepilok Orangutan Reserve/Sukau | See Borneo's most endearing creatures - orangutans - in Sepilok before heading out on a boat in search of proboscis monkeys in Sukau. |
