Sabah, the eastern state of Malaysian Borneo, is home to incredible wildlife but also unique cultural experiences. Most people live in small villages, some in modernized longhouses. Farming of rice and other staple crops is a way of life. In some villages, a particular craft or product provides livelihood for all.

This short itinerary gives a taste of village life within a day’s drive of Kota Kinabalu. Spend one night in a farmstay where your meals will be locally prepared and otherwise relax at a lovely resort by the South China Sea. This short trip is great for families and combines well with a holiday elsewhere in Borneo, Malaysia, or Southeast Asia.

This itinerary is here to inspire you as all of our holidays are tailor-made to suit you. We’re happy to add or subtract days, change hotels, and adjust as you see fit.
