Borneo Photo Gallery

We visited Sabah, Borneo, for our fifteenth wedding anniversy in March and April 1997. One of the Greater Sunda Islands, Borneo is the world's third-largest island, with an area of 748,169 square km (288,869 sq mi). The population is around 25 million. The equator divides the island roughly in half.

We spent some time in the area of Kota Kinabalu and Mount Kinabalu and in the interior near Keningau.

Then we spent a week (including our anniversary) diving and doing ham radio from Layang-Layang Island offshore in the South China Sea. The island is geographically part of the Spratly Islands.

Then we spent several days diving at Sipadan and Mabul.

We finished the trip with visits to the orangutan sanctuary in Sepilok and to the Kinabatangan River to see proboscis monkeys.
