About us | Borneo Dream, your gateway to a perfect holiday in Sabah

Borneo Dream is an authorised PADI 5-Star Dive Resort and licensed Inbound Tour Operator based in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo. We aim to be the Premier Dive Operator in Kota Kinabalu and the preferred Travel Partner for visitors to Sabah who value the quality of experience, great service and absolute safety. We aim to cater for all levels of diving knowledge and experience – from non-divers all the way through to technical divers – and to be your one-stop shop for arranging your perfect holiday in Sabah, Borneo. Whether you are travelling with your family, your partner, a group of friends or on your own, we can help create the perfect Borneo Dream holiday in Sabah for you.

Borneo Dream Travel and Tours was founded in 2007 by a small team with a passion for sharing their love of diving and Sabah with the world. Borneo Dream is run by a lovely English couple – Joanne & Billy. Jo is a PADI Divemaster and previously had a successful career in Financial Services. Billy is a PADI Instructor, TDI Rebreather Instructor, BSAC Instructor and DSAT Gas Blender Instructor (phew!), and he previously had a career in IT and graphic design. They are also both RYA Advanced Powerboat Skippers.

Being the best since 2007 | Borneo Dream

The Borneo Dream Philosophy – The Borneo Dream team recognises that many visitors will only get one chance to see Borneo, so making sure that each visit is as enjoyable, positive and as awesome as possible sits at the heart of our philosophy.

Borneo Dream has a very clear focus on three areas: Safety, Quality and Enjoyment. That’s why we have the best diving and snorkelling day boats in Kota Kinabalu, first-class well-maintained dive gear and excellent safety equipment. We only use qualified Professionals, small groups per PADI Professional (for dive courses and trips) and instruction can be provided in fluent English, Chinese and Berhasa Malay. We only use a small number of preferred partners for our land tours in Sabah that work to similarly high standards as Borneo Dream and will show our customers the best possible time during their holiday in Sabah. We find that these things make us stand out from the competition and ensure that our customers have a great time – if you don’t believe us read our customer reviews and testimonials!

Your Dream Team – Passionate, Professional and Proactive

The Borneo Dream team brings together individuals with a broad mix of skills, experience and know-how who are experts in scuba diving and technical diving and passionate about providing great customer service. Jo and Billy’s previous careers in professional industries reflect the professional nature we adopt throughout every aspect of our business. Known short as the ‘Dream Team’, we aim to be professional, passionate, personable and proactive in all our contact with our customers. We also have a great sense of humour and love to have some fun! Jo & Billy are supported by their Dive Crew – qualified PADI Professionals and licensed Skippers, all aiming to deliver a great experience for our customers every day, every dive and snorkel tour – and their expert, friendly, helpful Sales Team.
