The state of Sabah is where adventure-loving travellers can
enjoy renowned scuba diving spots, explore caves, climb south east
Asia's highest mountain, trek lush jungles and tackle a range of
exciting water sports. Making a trip there even more worthwhile is
the fact that Sabah has retained an easygoing and charming
hospitality.
Located on the north west coast of Borneo Island, the climate in
Sabah is generally hot and sunny year-round, so is ideal for
outdoor activities of all kinds. Top of the list is the trek to the
top of Mt Kinabalu, a pretty fair test of your fitness and one that
rewards climbers with incredible views. 
This two-day trek is the
perfect way to enjoy the natural beauty of Malaysia and leave the
'real' world far, far behind. The best time to experience the
summit is for the spectacular dawn, as clouds often draw in later
in the day. The Kinabalu National Park, and Sabah generally, is
renowned for its flora and fauna and attracts scientists from all
over the world to study the unique varieties of plant and animals.
For visitors, it's simply a magnificent place to explore.
Sipadan
Island is not only Malaysia's only oceanic island, it's regularly
voted one of the top places in the world for scuba diving. Here you
can dive with swirling schools of barracuda, graceful turtles,
white tip reef sharks and bumphead parrotfish amongst many other
species that frequent the island.
There are a host of fascinating attractions and day trips back
on dry land. At the Monsopiad Cultural Village, you can learn all
about the history and culture of the legendary Kadazan Headhunters
and enjoy traditional performances and food. 
At the
Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary you can see and learn more about these
amazingly human-like creatures and watch them as they go about
their curious daily business.
