Jungle Trekking

Sabah's rainforest is still largely unexplored and offers trekkers, hikers, and climbers an excellent chance to discover a fascinating array of flora and fauna. One of the main attractions has always been the Rafflesia, the largest flower globally and probably with the most unpleasant smell! As you tread your way through the blooming flowers and lush vegetation, you might get lucky enough to view a pair of Orang-utan. The waterfalls, rivers, green foliage, and surroundings are unique that even the best camera lenses rarely capture their true beauty.

The golf courses offer some of the most beautiful and challenging holes that test the skills of golfers.
