Are you ready to go on the adventure of a lifetime? At Wacky Jacky's, we're thrilled to invite you to our Borneo Retreat 2026, a meticulously planned 14-day journey designed for like-minded women eager to explore the wonders of Borneo and beyond. This retreat isn't just a holiday, it's a chance to connect with nature, immerse yourself in culture, and create unforgettable memories.
This retreat takes you beyond the ordinary, offering a rare opportunity to witness Borneo's breathtaking wildlife in its natural habitat while engaging in meaningful conservation efforts. From the lush jungles of Kalimantan to the serene beaches of Bali, this Borneo wildlife retreat is your ticket to an unparalleled adventure.
Your Journey Begins: Bali to Kalimantan
The adventure kicks off in Bali, where we'll gather for a welcome dinner in the charming town of Sanur. After a restful night, we'll head to Surabaya for a brief stay before flying to Kalimantan, the heart of Borneo's wilderness.
In Kalimantan, the magic begins. Over five days, you'll experience the region's awe-inspiring beauty aboard a traditional Klotok boat. Here's what's included in this unforgettable leg of the journey:
- Wildlife spotting, including orangutans, Proboscis monkeys, and Rhinoceros Hornbill birds.
- Visits to orangutan feeding stations for an up-close look at these magnificent creatures.
- A local village tour to learn about the culture and way of life.
- A night trek (weather permitting) to explore the jungle's nocturnal wonders.
- Tree planting in a national forest as part of our conservation efforts.
Your stay in Kalimantan also includes four nights at an Eco Lodge, where you'll enjoy comfortable accommodations and delicious meals surrounded by the sounds of the jungle.
Conservation and Connection
At Wacky Jacky's, we believe in giving back to the places we visit. As part of the Borneo wildlife retreat, you'll have the chance to visit land purchased by our local guide and his team to protect it from deforestation. You'll also participate in tree planting efforts, positively impacting the environment while deepening your connection to this incredible region.
Exploring Java's Coastal Beauty
After the Kalimantan expedition, the journey continues with a two-night stay in Surabaya. Here, you'll enjoy the charm of a famous heritage hotel and indulge in a delightful high tea. For those who love to shop, Jacky will take you to some of the best spots in the area.
From Surabaya, we'll embark on a scenic drive along Java's coast to Banyuwangi, where you'll stay in a beachfront hotel overlooking Bali. During this leg of the journey, you can choose to:
- Join an optional midnight guided tour to Mount Ijen to witness its mesmerising Blue Fire phenomenon (at an additional cost of approximately $100).
- Enjoy a spa treatment, relax by the pool, or explore the local area.
Relax and Reflect in Bali
The final chapter of the Borneo Retreat 2026 takes us back to Bali, where you'll spend three nights in the tranquil coastal town of Candidasa and have time to unwind and reflect on your incredible journey. Whether you explore the local area, indulge in a beachfront massage, or visit Wacky Jacky's Quilt Shop to stock up on fabric, these last days will be the perfect way to end your adventure.
