Sabah is home to some of the world’s most unique wildlife, making it a paradise for nature lovers. Our Kinabalu Park & Poring Hot Springs tour takes you on a journey through lush montane forests, where you can walk along canopy walkways and relax in natural hot springs.

For a more immersive wildlife experience, our river safari at Klias Wetlands or Weston River lets you spot rare proboscis monkeys, crocodiles, and fireflies. If you want to see Borneo’s famous orangutans up close, the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre is a must-visit, where you can watch rescued orangutans being rehabilitated in their natural habitat.

Sabah’s culture is as diverse as its landscapes. Our Mari Mari Cultural Village tour offers a deep dive into the traditions of Sabah’s indigenous tribes, where visitors can learn about their ancient customs, taste traditional food, and watch cultural performances.

Best Time to Go on a Sabah Day Tour

Sabah enjoys a tropical climate, making it a great destination year-round. However, the best time for outdoor tours is between March and September, when the weather is drier and the seas are calmer for island excursions.

For wildlife tours, the wet season (November to February) brings lush greenery and increased animal activity, making it a great time to spot proboscis monkeys and orangutans. If you’re visiting cultural attractions, any time of the year is suitable, as the experiences remain engaging regardless of the season.
