Mount Kinabalu is one of the island's unmissable activities. The mountain rises to about 4000 meters, leaving tourists with an incredible national park view. Along the way, a few encounters with surprising animals and tropical plants will make this climb striking. Bako National Park is another place full of diverse ecosystems and landscapes. Otters, squirrels, mangroves, and tropical forests, among others, coexist peacefully in this idyllic corner of the island. Lovers of the seabed should let themselves be transported by the magnificence of Sipadan, one of the best diving spots in the world. South of Sabah, the Kinabatangan River is to be noticed. On the road, tourists revel in seeing monkeys, snakes, crocodiles, kingfishers, elephants, or hornbills enjoying a good mud bath. In Borneo, Turtle Island is an exciting activity to raise awareness among young and old about the preservation of sea turtles. One of the most magical moments is watching baby turtles reach the sea. On the Sarawak side, Gunung Mulu National Park will allow caving fans to immerse themselves in the vast caves of Deer Cave and Clearwater Cave for a dazzling show. In Borneo, adventurous travelers will be convinced by water sports such as rafting, a symbolic island activity. Those who dream of taking a steam train ride to discover Borneo differently can do so aboard the North Borneo Railway. Then, to explore local life thoroughly, the Banjarmasin floating market is a must. The city is built on stilts, and you must get up at dawn to take advantage of the floating market. Once there, a breathtaking spectacle is offered to travelers with women sitting in small boats, wearing beautiful traditional hats, and selling fruits, vegetables or fish. ◄
