The most incredible trip ever – a honeymoon in Borneo

The most incredible trip ever! Honeymoons are supposed to be incredible right? For our ‘trip of a lifetime’ we were seeking something a little adventurous teamed with animal spotting and some time out on a white sandy beach. My husband-to-be had done the ‘traditional’ safari x beach combination and I was keen to ensure we were going somewhere neither of us had been before. That’s when the Black Tomato team really showed their expertise. Suggesting Borneo – a place we’d never have thought of in a million years and reeling us in with an exceptional itinerary comprising jungle sunset boat safaris – spotting a lone orangutan in the wild along the way! – snorkelling off a private island, rickety jungle aeroplanes, orangutan sanctuaries and many many memories. As well as being an utter joy to work with, other little touches of Black Tomato magic I still wax lyrical about; a fictional book sent to us before we departed set deep in the Borneo jungle, a copy of The Week and a film to watch to “put off the holiday washing” greeted us on our return. It’s been a while since our trip and occasionally we’ll unearth a picture of us two metres away from a pygmy elephant or crying with laughter as we recalled that time the teeniest fish chased my new husband out of the Celebes Sea. Thank you Black Tomato for helping us in plotting the most exceptional of honeymoons – cannot recommend you enough!
