1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Sabah is a Malaysian state occupying the northeastern tip of Borneo, the world's third-largest island, bordered by the Sulu and Celebes Seas. It is best known for the towering Mount Kinabalu — Southeast Asia's highest peak at 4,095 metres — which draws trekkers from around the world to Kinabalu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sabah's waters around Semporna and the Tun Sakaran Marine Park are ranked among the best dive destinations on the planet, with sites like Sipadan famous for hammerhead sharks, barracuda tornados, and sea turtles. Beyond diving and hiking, travellers come for wildlife encounters in the Kinabatangan River rainforest, including wild pygmy elephants, proboscis monkeys, and orangutans.
