Sabah is popular for its wildlife conservation attractions, rain forest, surrounding nature and islands, beach resorts, tropical white sandy beaches, crystal waters, and its warm and friendly. If you are thinking of visiting Borneo, these places of interest and activities you an idea!


Mount Kinabalu


Let me start with my favorite place and definitely not to be missed if you are visiting Borneo, Mt. Kinabalu (4093 m). It is the summit of Borneo and the tallest mountain in Southeast Asia. This mountain is sacred to the locals. Thousands of people around the world have traveled to its maximum. At the foot of this mountain is Kinabalu National Park, a botanical paradise where rare plants are: orchids, carnivorous plants Nepenthes Rafflesia, the world's largest flower.


Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre


If you have not heard yet, the most popular native of Borneo is the orangutan. The world-famous Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre enables visitors close contact with these amazing animals. This sanctuary allows visitors to witness an exciting conservation program in action. Located on 43 square miles of beautiful forest, the sanctuary helps once captive orangutans learn to fend for themselves in nature. Watch how these orphaned orangutans are taught to climb, and then go to a platform where you can witness to those who come from within the forest for their daily meals of milk and bananas.


Danum Valley Rain Forest


If nature is close to his heart, then this next destination I will present is a must visit, Danum Valley. Danum Valley is located in the tropical forest of Borneo where nature is at its most pristine. As it moves ever further into the jungle, you suddenly come across a magical paradise of the Borneo Rainforest Lodge (BRL), built overlooking the magnificent surroundings of SEGAM River and flanked by high mountain ranges. BRL is an impressive resort, designed by naturalists and built on stilts with the traditional materials of wood, and has the comfort of a 3 star hotel. I totally recommend Danum Valley to those who yearn to see wildlife in a primeval forest of Borneo - the rare Sumatran rhino, proboscis monkeys, Orang Utan, elephants and over 275 species of birds.


Tunku Abdul Rahman Park Island


When you think you have enough cars and want to take a day's break idling around the power load, then I suggest you take a boat trip of 30 minutes of Tunku Abdul Rahman Park. The park consists of five beautiful islands and is a well-known sanctuary where peace and tranquility reigns. The tropical white sandy beaches are ideal for relaxing and tanning. The clear water is fantastic if you like diving or see sea life and corals. The park is also a great place for a picnic barbecue at the long hours of golden sunshine. Other activities include windsurfing, fishing, paragliding, kayaking and bird watching.


Golf Vacation


If golf is your sport, then try the numerous golf courses in Sabah quality. One of the courses as described by its designer - "I had to create a masterpiece, combining the natural splendor of mountains and seas, with ingenious architecture, and create a first-class field to provide a friendly championship game however, a challenge for the top professional and amateur golfers alike, "-. Graham Marsh words Just say the quality of golf courses.


Rafting


For the true adventure seeker looking for an adrenaline-pumping activity, Sabah offers some of the world's most exciting sensations. My most terrifying experience, just because I'm not a good swimmer, it's rafting down the river Padas (a grade 3 river). While trying to negotiate the rapids along this raging river for a distance of 5 kilometers, benefit from the breathtaking view the surrounding rainforest offer. However, be warned, do not take your eyes off the rapids and waves too long!


Diving


Off the northeast coast of Borneo is a small jewel of an island, Sipadan, with a marine ecosystem so perfect and unique that is recognized worldwide as one of the best dive sites in the world. Sipadan Island rises as a pristine Coral Sea mount, 650 meters from the floor of the Sulawesi Sea. The summit on the east coast of Borneo is a magnet for marine life ocean.
