SABAH - exotic Borneo

Sabah sits at the tip of Borneo, the world's third largest island. Its coastline of 1,440 km (900 miles), washed by the South China Sea on the West and the Sulu Sea and Celebes Sea on the East, that encloses an inland area of 74,500 sq. km ( 29,399 sq. miles)


Lying just north of the equator, Sabah enjoys a sunny tropical climate where it's summer all year round. Daily temperature range from 74 to 90 degress Fahrenheit with cooler weather up in the mountains. A land blessed with nature's most beautiful treasures, Sabah is also known by the famed romantic name of " The Land Below the Wind".

With its sandy beaches, tropical islands, blue waters, coral reefs and atolls, Sabah has several dive sites rated to be amongst the top ten in the world and many more yet to be truly explored.

Deep in our hearts, we all dream of a tropical haven. Pure, green, pristine. At the same time, unspoilt and untouched by the problems of modern life still. Sabah is the land of eco-treasures. You can climb the awesome peak of the highest mountain in the region, play with the orang utan in the sanctuary, admire the rafflesia, the largest flower in the world in rainforests that are millions of years old, dive into some of the world's best underwater wonderlands.

We went to this tour agency called "Exotic Borneo" to arrange our tour and got 20% discount for our Mount Kinabalu Poring Rainforest - full day nature guided tour. We paid for RM159.20 each.

The shop is in the 1Borneo hypermall.. ground floor.
