I took part in Tina and Simon's Borneo retreat in 2019, to this day I keep going back to the memories, information and inspiration that that week gave me. When I consider the life I want to create, the joy tropical fruits give me, or the excitement I still feel when I consider the experiences their retreat provided me...it's invaluable. I feel grateful and honoured this is an adventure I committed to. I hope to join them again. I recommend this retreat to anyone looking to enjoy time spent in great energy, eating and learning about amazing fruits, enjoying beautiful nature spots you would be hard by finding on your own and truly experiencing a very unique and magical experience. This is not your average retreat, it is so much more and if you're reading my words I'm sure there is a part of your soul calling you to go, very much aligned with what Tina and Simon have lovingly created. Enjoy!

"The retreat changed my life forever..."

The first retreat was one of the most amazing life-changing experiences of my life. There is nothing like feasting on the highest quality fruits in a beautiful environment surrounded by like-minded people. I've been on three of Simon & Tina's retreats now and at every single one of them, I had the best time of my life. I've also been on other retreats and none come close to fitshortie's retreats.

What's included?

The Borneo Jungle Fruits Retreat is an all-inclusive retreat from start to finish. Everything from accomodation to food to activities and transportation is included. No need to take out your wallet at any point during the seven-day retreat! 

(Not included: flights to and from Brunei, visa fees, insurance)

"I felt so light and had so much energy!"

I was plant-based for a few years, but eating the tropical and rare fruits was a whole different level. I felt so light and had so much energy! I feel that even in that one week I healed some ailments. At home, I was close to being homebound but on this retreat, I was hiking and able to do so much more!!!! The conversation as a group and individually was amazing as well. At home I’m not around many plant-based friends and having everyone around me on the same page was sooo neat. Everyone pitched in to help when needed. The smells, sights, and sounds of nature were perfect. The adventures all worked seamlessly and everyone had a great time. The retreat with Simon and Tina was life-changing for me. I personally would recommend this adventure to everyone! (As long as I have my spot first 😉)

Still have questions?
We've got you covered!

👉 Where does the retreat start and end? 

The Borneo Jungle Fruits Retreat is primarily held in Sarawak, a state in Malaysian Borneo. The start and end point of the retreat is Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei. From Brunei we will take a short drive to cross the border with Malaysia. This is the easiest and fastest way to reach the vast jungles of Borneo which are filled with incredible fruits and exciting activities. The retreat will start in the morning around 8-9 am on the first day of the retreat ,where we will pick you up from a location in Bandar Seri Begawan city, and it will end in the late afternoon around 5-6 pm on the last day of the retreat where we will drop you off at this exact meeting point again.

👉 What is the accomodation like? 

Borneo is wild, untouched and free. That’s why we love it. Nature is omni-present if not overtaking and the pressure of society completely fades away. It is one of the very last remaining gems on this planet. What comes with that is less tourist infrastructure BUT because of the lodging and mining industries there are very decent, western-style hotels available in the 2 towns where we will be staying. In total during the retreat we will be staying in 3 different locations and hence 3 different accommodations.

The 2 town hotels are big, respected hotels with clean and comfortable rooms. You can find a picture below of the hotel room standard we will be enjoying at the retreat. You will be sleeping in your own single or double bed in a shared room. The rooms are shared with 1 other person which means a maximum of 2 persons per room. Every room has a private bathroom.

 For 2 nights of the retreat we will go deeper into the jungle where we will be staying in similar rooms as the town hotels but due to limited space in this jungle location it is possible you will be sharing a king size double bed with someone else. 

The first 6 people that book their spot will get the opportunity to upgrade their room type to private room (this will be availabe after you click ‘pay now’ at checkout) at an additional cost.

👉 What does a typical day at The Borneo Jungle Fruits retreat look like? 

8 am: Come together for breakfast. Expect unlimited premium-quality tropical fruits, we go above and beyond to source the very best Borneo has to offer.

9.30 am: 1-hour jungle hike to learn about the different indigenous plants and trees with a tribal leader.

11 am: Rehydrate with a fresh coconut. Sample the local durians in the village and listen to the traditional musical instruments.

12 pm: Fruit lunch with incredible 360 degrees view of the vast primary jungle.

2 pm: Soak in a natural hot spring, then jump in the huge cold river right next to it. Repeat until completely blissed out!

5pm: Back home for a fruity dinner. Are you ready for dabai? More satisfying than anything else on this planet, this fruit is dense, fatty and people go crazy for it on every Borneo retreat we’ve ever hosted. 

7 pm: We end the day with ‘Story of Your Life’ evening discussions which bonds the group on another level.

9 pm: Bed time to the sounds of the jungle!

👉 What are the requirements to enter Brunei and Malaysia right now and what about visas? 

There are NO special entry requirements regarding covid or vaccination to enter Brunei or Malaysia right now. Everyone is welcome!

Remember the retreat will start in Brunei and from there we move to Malaysia through the border crossing which is very fast and easy but this means you need to check visa requirements for both countries.

For Brunei:

Passport holders of the countries below will receive a free visa exemption stamp in their passports, no need to arrange anything before arriving in Brunei. This means you just fly into Brunei and at the customs at the airport you give your passport, they stamp it for free, and that’s it. Please check your nationality on the table below or on this website:  https://www.mfa.gov.bn/Pages/Visa-Information.aspx

Nationalities that are not on this list have to apply for a visa before traveling. This can be easily done online or at the Brunei embassy in your country. 

For Malaysia:

For most people there is also no need to obtain a visa for Malaysia prior to departure. Make sure to check this for your nationality. The only nationalities that need to apply for a visa prior to departure are listed here: https://www.malaysia.gov.my/portal/subcategory/1543

Important: Your passport must have at least six months’ validity remaining before entering Brunei or Malaysia.

For people who do need a visa for any of these 2 countries, make sure to check the requirements before booking your. We are crossing the Malaysian and Brunei borders by land several times so if you need a visa you might need to see how to obtain a multiple-entry one so you don’t have any problems at the borders. Best to contact a expert agency for this!

👉 Do you have payment plans available?

Yes! When you are ready to book your spot at the retreat, send us a DM on Instagram or an email at [email protected] and we can discuss the option of a payment plan.

👉 Do I need to bring extra cash to the retreat?

No. The Borneo Jungle Fruits Retreat is all-inclusive. Everything – lodging, transport, food, drinks & activities – is included in the price of the retreat from start to finish. Your flights to/from Brunei, as well as transportation before and after the retreat, are not included.

👉 Are children allowed on the retreat?

This is an adults-only retreat due to the nature of the activities. We can only accept 18+ years old.

👉 Changes to your booking and refunds

We allow name changes in case you can not make it to the retreat. If you have booked your spot and decide you can not attend the retreat, we will allow you to transfer your spot to another person which you will need to find on your own. We allow name changes up to 1 month before the retreat start date. Once you have booked your spot for a certain week of the retreat, you can not change the dates of your retreat week even if we are hosting several weeks of retreats close to each other. The retreat is non-refundable. This is because we have already booked the transportation, and prepaid many activities and hotel rooms. If you have opted for a payment plan but cannot attend the retreat, the pending payments will still be charged. No credit will be given towards future retreats except in the unlikely scenario that the Brunei or Malaysian government changes entry requirements due to covid, and you don’t have a vaccination certificate, then you will be able to use your payment as credit towards any of our future retreats. You can find the full terms and conditions here.

👉 Are we going to eat only fruits during the retreat?

You will be able to enjoy unlimited, tropical fruits and coconuts. Borneo is THE fruit haven on this planet, nothing comes even close. Many fruits are extremely satisfying like durians, cempedak, terap, dabai and many more. This retreat is a fruit-only retreat, there will be no raw food dishes like on our other retreats simply because the fruit is insanely good and satisfying and also because the ingredients for our raw food recipes are not to be found in Borneo. Like always, we believe in serving you premium-quality fruit in absolute abundance! We’ve had so many people join us in Borneo, most of them were eating an omnivore diet back home and everyone agreed that Borneo is something special. Everyone felt satisfied and happy to eat a fruit-only diet!
