| Day 1 | Kota Kinabalu | Welcome to Sabah, a place where ancient traditions and exotic wildlife continue to thrive. At the Monsopiad Cultural Village, tour the mystical House of Skulls and learn about ancient legends. The nearby islands are great for snorkelling among a wide variety of colourful fish. |
| Days 2-4 | Kinabatangan Jungle Camp/Homestay | Our local homestay provides the opportunity to interact with villagers and learn about their unique way of life and how they contribute to the preservation of the area's ecosystem at the same time. You'll spend a night camping in the jungle - spotting wildlife such as macaques, proboscis monkeys, crocodiles and rare wild elephants! |
| Days 5-6 | Sepilok Orangutan Reserve | Learn about nature the fun way at Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre, where orphaned orangutans are cared for before being released back into the wild. You could also venture into their natural habitat on any of the walking trails or head into Sandakan and check out the local fish market. |
| Day 7 | Kinabalu National Park | From city life to mountain life as we head into Kinabalu National Park. Stretch the legs and take in the mountain views along the walking trails at the base of Mt Kinabalu; keeping an eye out for monkeys and colourful birds. |
| Day 8 | Pulau Tiga National Park | Enjoy an entire day of beachside bliss at our idyllic island getaway, snorkelling, swimming or simply relaxing on the sand. |
| Days 9-11 | Kota Kinabalu | Choose your own adventure: go on a picnic on the nearby island of Dinawan, catch a steam train past water buffaloes and paddy fields to cosy little Papar or take a memorable horse ride along the beach. |
