An oil rig turned diving hotspot!
Imagine staying in a converted oil rig that serves as a diving platform in the middle of the ocean. That’s what Seaventures Dive offers to its guests, who can access some of the best dive sites in the world, such as Sipadan, Mabul and Kapalai. You can dive or snorkel with turtles, sharks, barracudas and countless colorful fish and corals. You can also relax on the sun deck, enjoy the panoramic views and watch the sunset over the horizon.
Sipadan Island, in the heart of the Indo-Pacific basin, is undeniably world-famous for its underwater ecosystem. Over 3,000 species of fish and coral are found around Sipadan earning it the reputation as having the best diving in Sabah – if not the world!”
We highly recommend experiencing this place for yourself, as words can only describe it so much. It’s truly unique and gives you an engaging experience like no other.
One of the tallest peaks in Southeast Asia
If you are up for a challenge, why not climb the highest mountain in Malaysia and experience the thrill of walking on a via ferrata? A via ferrata is a protected mountain route that consists of steel cables, iron rungs and bridges that allow climbers to safely traverse steep sections. The Low’s Peak Circuit is one of the highest via ferratas in the world, at 4,095 meters above sea level.
“Borneo’s tallest peak standing at 4095 metres (13,435 feet) has a profound cultural relationship with the indigenous tribes of Sabah.”
You will need to wake up early to catch the sunrise at the summit of Mount Kinabalu, then descend to the via ferrata and enjoy the breathtaking views of the valleys and peaks.
“Some describe it as a natural playground. Some say it’s simply unique, as it offers a great array of travel options coasts to coast. Some say the hospitality of Sabah is its pride.”
Surrounded by sea on a floating coral bar
If you want to escape from the crowds and experience a unique eco-tourism project, head to Pitas, a district in northern Sabah that is home to many fishing villages. There, you can join a boat tour that will take you to a remote island where you can see a floating coral bar. This is a man-made structure that is designed to attract and grow corals and marine life. You can snorkel around the coral bar and see how it helps to restore the damaged reef. You can also learn about the local culture and livelihood of the fishermen who live on the island.
Stand-up paddling, sunrise or sunset
If you love water sports and want to explore Sabah’s rivers and coastlines, you can try stand-up paddling with Borneo Paddle Monkeys. Stand-up paddling is a fun and easy way to glide on the water using a board and a paddle. You can choose from various locations and tours, such as paddling along the mangroves of Klias River, where you can spot proboscis monkeys and fireflies; or paddling around Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, where you can see coral reefs and islands.
A cruise to remember
For a romantic and relaxing evening, you can join a weekend sunset dinner cruise at Kota Kinabalu with Magunatip Holidays. You will board a spacious catamaran and sail along the coast of Kota Kinabalu, the capital city of Sabah. You will witness the spectacular sunset over the South China Sea and enjoy a delicious buffet dinner with live music. You will also get to watch a cultural performance by Magunatip Holidays, who will showcase the traditional dances and costumes of Sabah’s ethnic groups.
