About Borneo Discovery Route
Our Passion for Exploration
At Borneo Discovery Route, we are passionate travelers, overlanders, off-roaders, and motorcyclists who love sharing our enthusiasm with others. We are a one-family operation, Sarawak-born and raised, plus one "imported" husband. We have extensive international experience and family ties to many small villages and longhouses in Borneo. We have lived abroad in the United States, Mexico, and the Netherlands, and have visited over 50 countries. We utilize our local expertise and international experience to deliver seamless, authentic Sarawak tours and unforgettable Borneo adventure experiences.

"The Grand tour" by van or 4x4
You can take our tour by van at a discounted rate. It's still the same 1200 km immersion into Cities, Towns, Villages, and Longhouses. National parks, beaches, mountains, rivers, lakes, and the sea. You will likely see orangutans, proboscis monkeys, langurs, bearded pigs, crocodiles, dolphins, and sea turtles, along with countless birds. You will experience food, dance, traditional crafts, and hunting techniques. Maybe you will even the chance to get a hand-tapped tattoo. This tour really has it all.
Our modern vehicles are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before and after each trip. Each seat features its own 3-point seatbelt and air conditioning vent, and there are multiple USB-C and USB-A charging ports for all your cameras, phones, and other devices. We also maintain an icebox with an unlimited supply of cool water and soft drinks.
We can combine a vehicle and motorcycle tour for groups that include people who want to ride motorcycles and those who prefer to travel by vehicle. The motorcycles may take more adventurous routes, but we will all have meals together, sleep in the same places, and everyone gets to see the major highlights of each day.
custom adventures
Do you have something different in mind? We can make it happen. We can do something as small as supporting your group ride to completely designing a custom expedition and everything in between. Tours as long as 90 days and as short as 4 days. Groups as small as 2 bikes or as large as 10. Want a multi-generational tour where some people ride in our van and some ride on motorcycles? That's also possible. Does some of your group have their own motorcycles? We can support them as well. The sky is the limit. We will walk you through the process and give you upfront pricing on your custom tour.

We are committed to protecting Borneo, its native flora and fauna, and preserving its heritage. We visit conservation programs on our tours, and the entrance fee they charge tour groups support their efforts, but we go above and beyond by donating additional money on top of the entrance fees we pay.
When the option is available, we stay at locations committed to sustainable tourism and frequent artisans who work to preserve traditional techniques. We guide you to places where you can buy items directly from the artisan, skipping the middleman and avoiding mass-produced, imported goods.
Our family also participates in community clean-up days and volunteers at the Sarawak Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SSPCA).
We are also dedicated to helping the motorcycle community as a whole. We offer free assistance to riders, even those who have spent no money with us (see below).
