Scuba Diving with Borneo Dream
Scuba Diving in Sabah, Borneo with Borneo Dream - Customer Feedback
“We recently returned from a scuba diving holiday with Borneo Dream in Kota Kinabalu. This was our first time in Sabah, Borneo and we really loved it!
Scuba Diving from Kota Kinabalu
Borneo Dream are an excellent company to do your scuba diving with in Sabah. They have put a lot of work into finding good, safe dive sites for their customers. They have a really stable, comfortable boat which has plenty of room and Billy and Jo are first class skippers.
Their boat was by far the best of any of the charter boats that we saw while we were there. All the kit is in excellent order and they attach the highest priority to dive safety and ensuring that their customers enjoy fantastic diving in Sabah, Borneo. Read the rest of this entry »

Wildlife Trips, Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia
My Mother and Brother came to visit me this month for their first holiday in Sabah, Borneo. After flying over 14 hours to get to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo from the UK we wanted to help them experience some of the stunning wildlife and rainforests of, Sabah, Borneo.
Orang Utan, Sepilok Sanctuary
We drove from Kota Kinabalu to Sandakan and took them to a few of our favourite wildlife and rainforest trips - Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary and Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre, Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary, Kinabalu Park and Sandakan Rainforest Discovery Centre.
They had never seen such a wide range of apes, or wildlife, in the wild before - Orang Utans, Proboscis Monkeys, Long Tailed Macaques, Pig Tailed Macaques, Leaf Monkey - and enjoyed each of the wildlife trips they went on. They also saw Hornbills, a wide range of endemic orchids and walked through beautiful rainforest landscapes. Read the rest of this entry »

Kinabalu Park, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia
Kinabalu Park, Sabah, Borneo, is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site with Mount Kinabalu at its centre. It is over 700 square kilometres and Kinabalu Park Headquarters is located around 2.5km in altitude above sea level. Kinabalu Park, Sabah has a changing climate that supports rain forest plants in the lower regions then as you ascend you are able to experience different types of plants from coniferous forest to alpine type plants near the summit of Mount Kinabalu.
Follow One of the Trails
Kinabalu Park, Sabah, Borneo is a natural wonder that offers visitors, as they follow nature trails, a glimpse into the fascinating world of flora within the park. You can choose to follow the trails independently , wait for the guided tour at 11am each morning (you pay as small fee for this), or go as part of a day trip. The choice is yours.
Kinabalu Park is one of my favorite places to go for a day out in Sabah, Borneo (when I’m not underwater diving). I have been several times this year so far and enjoy trekking one, or more, of the many marked trails each time I go. I even went on my Birthday as it’s such a lovely place to chill out, enjoy yourself and go for a scenic, energetic walk.
Enjoy Views Over The Crocker Range
To get to Kinabalu Park Headquarters, Sabah, Borneo you travel over the Crocker Range for about 1 hour. During this you can enjoy stunning views of both the mountain range and Mount Kinabalu. Kinabalu Park Headquarters is home to marked trails, cafes, toilet facilities, a botanical garden and accommodation for those who want to stay overnight.
If you choose to go there independently you will pay a conservation fee as you enter the park (RM15 for non Malaysians, RM3 for Malaysians - this is the adult fee). You will also need to hire a taxi or hire car for the 2 hour scenic journey from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo.
Kinabalu Park, Sabah, Borneo - a great place to visit when you are next visiting Sabah, Borneo.
