Culture - Living close to the nature

Naturalis focuses more closely on nature tours, but we need to say that nature serves as an inspiration for human life too. "Living Close to the Nature" is a style of travel that offers an opportunity to understand how the natural environment has influenced the way of life of the native people and how has affected their architecture, art, music and dances.

We have put together several itineraries ranging from classical tours to deep cultural experiences. All these travel itineraries can be customized to suit your needs and interests - visit our tailor-made tour page to read more.

Borneo's friendly traditional communities have opened up their homes to foreign guests so they can have a taste of the ‘kampung’ or village lifestyle to cherish for a lifetime. Experiencing a homestay in a traditional village is perhaps one of the fastest and easiest ways to get to know the real Borneo.
You will discover that things here move at a slightly slower pace than in the city, and for those who relish the quiet calm of the rustic life, this is possibly as good as it gets. Homestay guests will not just be immersed in the lifestyle of the locals; they will also quickly establish a bond with their warm and welcoming families who will treat them like family.
