Itinerary
Arrive at Kota Kinabalu International Airport. Clear immigration and baggage, meet our representative and transfer to your hotel in Kota Kinabalu. The west-coast capital of Sabah under Mount Kinabalu, with reef islands twenty minutes offshore and a sunset market on the waterfront. The rest of the day is free to settle in. Overnight in Kota Kinabalu.
Breakfast at the hotel. A full day in Kota Kinabalu — the Tunku Abdul Rahman marine park islands of Manukan, Sapi and Mamutik; the Mari Mari Cultural Village; and the Kota Kinabalu City Mosque and Signal Hill observatory. The evening is free for dinner and a walk on your own. Overnight in Kota Kinabalu.
Breakfast at the hotel and check out. Leave for Kundasang — a 90 km, two-hour drive into the Crocker Range. The alpine shoulder of Mount Kinabalu — vegetable terraces, a war memorial garden and genuinely cold nights. Check in on arrival and, as the day allows, Kinabalu Park headquarters and its botanical garden. Overnight in Kundasang.
Breakfast at the hotel and check out. Leave for Sandakan — a 230 km, four-hour drive east. The wildlife coast of Borneo — orangutans, sun bears, proboscis monkeys and the slow brown Kinabatangan. Check in on arrival and, as the day allows, the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre feeding. Overnight in Sandakan.
Arrive in Sandakan and check in at your hotel. Breakfast at the hotel. A full day in Sandakan — the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre, where rescued sun bears are seen in forest enclosures, the Rainforest Discovery Centre canopy walk above the Sepilok forest, and a Kinabatangan river wildlife cruise with chances of proboscis monkeys, macaques and hornbills along the banks. The evening is free for dinner and a walk on your own. Overnight in Sandakan.
Breakfast at the hotel and check out. Leave for Semporna — a 240 km, four-and-a-half-hour drive south. The jump-off for Sipadan, Mabul and Kapalai, where Bajau Laut stilt villages stand over impossibly clear water. Check in on arrival and, as the day allows, an island-hopping day to Mabul and Kapalai. Overnight in Semporna.
Breakfast at the hotel. A full day in Semporna — snorkelling at Bohey Dulang and Sibuan in the Tun Sakaran marine park; the Bajau Laut stilt villages and a sunset over the reef; and an island-hopping day to Mabul and Kapalai. The evening is free for dinner and a walk on your own. Overnight in Semporna.
Breakfast at the hotel and check out. Time for any last shopping in Semporna town, where the seafront market and small shops sell pearls, shell craft and souvenirs, before your transfer to Tawau Airport for the onward flight. The coastal road runs past palm plantations and village settlements. The tour ends here, and we hope it is not your last visit to Malaysia.
