Air travel

Suggested flights are outlined in the departure package we will send you and our partner travel agent can assist you with flights. Please contact us for further information.

Arrival / departure

Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia, is the arrival and departure point for our luxury adventure in Borneo. We will spend the first and last nights in Kota Kinabalu.

Visas

Australians do not require visas for visits of less than three months to Malaysia. For the latest information about visas, consult the Immigration Department of Malaysia, or the Malaysian embassy in your country.

Passport

You will require a passport that will be valid for at least six months from the date of entry into Malaysia, and a return air ticket or onward ticket to another international destination. You may be required to present your passport when you check into hotels.

Travel insurance

It is our policy that all Seven Skies travellers take out a personal travel insurance policy to cover against sickness, accident, loss of baggage, trip cancellation due to bad weather or other unforeseeable reasons, and in the unlikely event that you need emergency evacuation by plane or helicopter due to illness or accident. We recommend you take out insurance at the time of booking your luxury adventure. Please supply us with the policy details (insurance company name, contact details, and policy number) prior to departure.

Health advice

Please consult your doctor for information regarding your health requirements and immunisations for your luxury adventure to Malaysia. We suggest that you consult your doctor at least 4 – 8 weeks before your departure date.

Changes to itinerary

It is the nature of travel that plans can change due to unforeseen events and circumstances. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility if the itinerary changes.

  • What clients say

    "When the time came for us to head home we left feeling as if we had just experienced one of the best holidays we have had. Nothing was too big or small for Seven Skies. Nathan met our every need as well as those we hadn't even thought of. Outstanding."
    Susan Mahler

  • What clients say

    "Nathan – you made our mother-son trip with Seven Skies to Malaysian Borneo about as close to perfect as possible. It was so clear how much planning and thought went into this trip – everything worked like clockwork"
    Nancy Aronson

  • In the press

    "Wedding's speciality is putting ordinary mortals into extraordinary places...who are ready, willing and able to take on some of the most remarkable experiences in the world of travel."
    The Sun Herald - October 2011
  • In the press

    "...being greeted by staff with refreshing ice cold towels and tropical welcome drinks, and then being whisked away by golf buggy up to the resort's restaurant for a gourmet seafood lunch. It's a good example of what the Seven Skies Borneo luxury adventure is all about..."
    Inspire - April 2011
  • In the press

    "Seven Skies fills a niche for people who want an exhilarating travel experience – mountain climbing, trekking, jungle safaris, that sort of thing – but who also want nice food and wine and 1000-thread count sheets to sleep on."
    Wish - February 2011
  • In the press

    "...restored manors, Raj-era bungalows and the luxe Amangalla in Galle. This is our kind of adventure tourism: five star all the way, a bit of a workout and incredible Sri Lankan cuisine."
    Harper's Bazaar - December 2010
  • In the press

    "Glamorous resorts tick many boxes, but your sense of adventure is rarely one of them. For those who like to explore the roads less travelled but are put off by the dearth of espressos and Egyptian cotton, there's Seven Skies."
    Gourmet Traveller - November 2010
  • In the press

    "It was the Asian pygmy elephant that made Nathan Wedding's last trip. That and the 10 different species of primates lurking in the jungle as he guided his well-heeled guests through the wilds of Sabah, in northern Borneo."
    Courier Mail - 27 August 2010
