Sight Seeing & Tours

Sabah known as "The Land Below the Winds" is home to over 30 different ethnic races with over 80 local dialects. Sabah at the North Eastern tip of Borneo is the gateway to fascinating cultures, beautiful scenery and magical islands.

From the world-famous Sipadan Island to the Orang-Utans of Sepilok, there's so much to see and discover in this natural paradise called Sabah. Sabah has an astounding amount of beautiful islands off its coastlines on both its eastern and western regions. This is why Sabah is regularly sought after by divers as the seas are abundant with coral reefs and marine life. The islands also make a fantastic getaway for those who want an exciting vacation on the beach.

It's not just nature for which Sabah is famous for, there are also plenty of cultural and historical sights to keep you occupied while on a journey to explore this beautiful part of Borneo.
