Activities
Sabah is known as a tranquil nature destination where you can get away from it all.
That may be true, but what is fast gaining notoriety is that Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and Borneo is also an action-packed-there-will-be-sweat kind of destination where you never need to let your heart rate dip below 120 bpm.
There are formal activities such as climbing Mt. Kinabalu, white water rafting, 4×4 off-roading, wake boarding, wall cimbing and even kite-surfing, or less formal activities such as mountain biking, Ultimate and even Parkour (!).
