Borneo/Kudat
At the northern tip of the Malaysian Island of Borneo, the Kudat Riviera is a remote and unspoiled coast of unspoiled beaches and thickly forested inland areas, where tribal people still live traditional longhouse lifestyles. There is only a tiny airport, and no real hotel infrastructure, but a variety of upscale resorts are in the works, so now is the perfect time to visit the region before it changes forever.
- Cruise from perfect beach to perfect beach, stopping to swim or picnic
- Dive or snorkel in the islands north of Kudat and enjoy the remarkable marine diversity of the Sulu Sea.
- Journey inland and stay overnight in a longhouse with the Rungus tribal people, and learn about their ancient way of life.
- Make an overnight trip to the highlands around Kota Kinabalu and summit Mount Kinabalu Malaysia's highest and most sacred peak.
