FAQ

 Q. What footwear do I need?

A. Strong sturdy footwear is recommended– sandals, crocs & flip flops are not to be worn during our activities.

Q. What clothes should I wear?

A.  Light weight trousers and long-sleeved tops are recommended to keep the mosquitoes away and to protect you body from thorny plants/trees. 

Q. What about mosquitoes?

A.  Apply decent mosquito repellent which contains Deet (Diethyl-meta-toluamide) before your activity and ensure that you re apply throughout the day. For longer activities in the jungle we recommend that participants seek medical advice with regards to anti malaria medication prior to their participation. 

Q. What about drinking water?

A.  All water taken from fresh clean water sources is purified. Water purification tablets is used & boiled water to eliminate harmful bacteria. We recommend that participants drink between 2 and 3 litres of water per day. 

Q. How hot will it get in the jungle?

A.  It may seem a strange question, but your body can quickly overheat during physical exertion in hot climates. Regularly stop during the most strenuous parts of the treks to ensure everyone is coping and drinking enough water.

Q. Can the guides & Instructors speak English and local languages? 

A. Yes, all guides and instructors on this trip are fluent in English and other local languages.

Q. What is the overnight accommodation like?

A. Custom hammocks & tarpaulins locally made to our specifications are used. Sleeping in a hammock is remarkably comfortable but takes a bit of getting used to. Mosquito nets are provided, which are used in conjunction with our hammocks to minimize the risk of insect bites. 

Q. What is a suitable age for our activities?

A. Provided a reasonable standard of fitness, e.g. being able to walk around 5 kilometers of unpredictable jungle terrain in one day, is maintained then there are no real age barriers. Not recommended taking children under the age of ten years old. 

Q. What is the best time to go?

A. The weather in Borneo is always unpredictable. We constantly check weather conditions & adapt our activities where needed. Therefore, weather permitting; activities may be conducted.
