Tours & Travel in Borneo Sabah

Sabah, Malaysia consistently ranks high on places to visit as it did on the TripAdvisor's 2018 Traveler's Choice Awards, as published in The Daily Express (April 12, 2018).


Many first time visitors to Sabah will most likely be aware of the many cultural and nature attractions to be found. Large parts of Sabah is still natural pristine forest, difficult to get to and if you really want to see some amazing sights, you have to get off the beaten path.

Many of the natural attractions in Sabah are well-known - Mount Kinabalu being the highest mountain in Malaysia, the Rafflesia being one of the rarest and largest flower in the world, and for scuba diving enthusiast, there is no where better to be.

The Tourism Industry in Sabah 
The tourism industry in Sabah, and in Malaysia is well regulated. They understand the importance of the economic benefits it brings to the local community and how it aids in conservation.

One of the charms of tourism in Sabah is that it is filled with rich history and cultural significance. It is not too developed and that adds to the adventure and its rustic charms. Sometimes getting to the destination is an adventure in itself, traveling on a mountain road while in the relative comfort of an air-conditioned coach.

One of the Sabah tour agency I have met realizes the role they play in taking care of the tourists that arrive in Sabah. Partly because of their ingrained sense of hospitality and friendliness, as well as the pride they have in being a Sabah native.

Sabah or North Borneo in the historical context, is known for its nature and natural beauty. Undeveloped islands maintain their charm, the National Park that is home to Mount Kinabalu is still surrounded by untouched nature on all sides.

Need to go further out into the wild? Maliau Basin is a designated conservation area that tourists can visit and see wildlife in its natural habitat. Or the Kinabatangan river, the second longest river in Malaysia that flows through vast tracks of virgin jungle.

To witness the true beauty of Sabah, you need to get out of the city and out into the countryside. This is where tour agencies come in. Much of Sabah is still being developed and getting around might not be as simple as more well developed tourist destinations.

Getting Around in Sabah 
The best way to get around Sabah and experience Borneo in its fullest is to travel with a licensed tour agent. They have the support and facilities that lets you enjoy your visit without any stress. Many of the best destinations are outside the city, with a travel time of three hours or more, over sealed and unsealed roads.

Depending on the tour package and destination, food and accommodation may be included. All you have to do is enjoy yourself and immerse in the local culture.

The best known scuba diving site is in Sipidan and the only way to get there is on an aeroplane to Tawau, then a coach ride to a small town called Semporna. To make sure you get all your travel connections right, and with adequate scuba diving time, the best way is to talk to a tour agent.

It is possible to get around on your own but you will be spending a lot of time making travel and accommodations arrangement. If you have a specific destination in Sabah you want to go to but find it challenging to arrange on your own, talk to a tour agent. It can make all the difference and take the stress out of your holiday.

If you intend to spend a few days exploring Borneo, see what Borneo FullForce Tours and Travel can provide. They offer day trips and overnight tour packages. They are also well established in Sabah's tourism industry.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
