NatGeo has “Borneo” on its list. From the description, it seems like the destination chosen is actually Sarawak, and not the whole island of Borneo (Sarawak, Sabah, Kalimantan, Brunei). Here’s the description from the NatGeo website (nationalgeographic.com):

“If you love pygmy elephants, glow-in-the-dark mushrooms, floating markets, secret gardens hidden in caves, and the rehabilitation of endangered orangutans – then Borneo is the summer trip for you. After a day of spelunking in Borneo’s Gunung Mulu National Park, visitors can stick around to observe the “Bat Exodus”, as over three million bats swoop into the fading sky from Deer Cave, the largest cave chamber on the planet. Borneo is also the place to spot Irrawaddy dolphins, proboscis monkeys, soft-shelled turtles, clouded leopards, the world’s longest insect, and 15,000 species of plants – including carnivorous pitcher plants; the famous corpse flower; and monster flowers, the largest known blossoms on the planet.”
