 my very own beach boy by BerniShand
They are the perfect antidote to the bustle of the city and a perfect way to spend a day
Snorkelling all morning, then eating a barbeque lunch under the trees with a cold beer.....
A great relaxation day in the middle of a hectic tour Leave a Comment

This picture was taken at 6am just before the mist started to clear, immediately after taking this picture a hornbill flew low over my head, then as we walked towards the path we saw an orang utan sitting in a fig tree.
It was a day I will never forget....... Leave a Comment

 Local Craft Centre by muddybok
Rattan products, chandelier made of seashells, wooden vase, bamboo wind chime, batek, T-shirts that printed with Orang-utan, Mt Kinabalu, Sipadan Island & etc are found abundantly at local centers. You can bargain when you’re shopping for these items.
Filipino Market & Local Craft Centre next to Kota Kinabalu Wet Market will be highly recommended. Leave a Comment

 Sunset by Fudge
The OTHER islands like Layang Layang, Pulau TIga (where Survivor was filmed), Sipadan, Turtle Islands are by far more breathtaking but equally harder to get to. For turtle island u need to book at least 3-4 days in advance. if you're lucky you may get a spot one or two days ahead of time... but it's expensive. Yet worth the money as it is a once in a lifetime experience for most to see turtles up close and personal, laying eggs at that!
Do bring your good snorkel mask as you want to capture these memories in your mind's eye and take them home :) with you.
I loved snorkelling the most and want to go back again and again in different parts. Diving too as the divers will attest to, is among the best in the world. I heard there are some wreck dives nearby too.
Awesome! Leave a Comment

So we advise, do book for this as soon as you arrive in sabah. You may not get a spot so soon so be prepared to join in a few days later.
What you will see
Lots of turtles out on the beach, having their time :) At nite, you get to see them laying eggs and how the conservation people safeguard the eggs by trasferring them safely to an incubator. We heard about all this, so this is not first hand. It sounded fascinating to be able to witness this phenomenon.
The cost is about RM400- RM600 for a 2 day 1 nite thing at the island. Accomodation is restricted there hence the advance booking.

 Proboscis out at dusk making
photos a challenge by zrim
The prboscis monkeys sleep throughout the day and the only real chance to catch sight of them is either at dawn or dusk. But once you are in their vicinity and they are awake, you cannot miss them. They literally hurl themselves from tree to tree, breaking branches and causing quite a ruckus. And the dominant male will let you know if you are intruding on his turf. He bellows very loudly and very sternly; advising the interloper to stay away from his girls. Leave a Comment

If you are flying day time from Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan during the day, take the window seat on the side where you can see the peak of Mount Kinabalu below you.
It is a wonderful view of the coast, then the jungles and the mountains of the Crocker Range.
Of course, the highlight when the pilot asked all the passengers to look out the window to see the top of the highest point of Southeast Asia. It is so clear and close, I think I saw some hikers ascending the peak, I think....
