Tap a state to explore
From the 4,095 m granite summit of Kinabalu to the reefs of the Celebes Sea, Sabah packs rainforest, river safaris and world-class diving into one easy-to-travel state.
Borneo's largest state: cave passages big enough to fly a jumbo jet through at Mulu, proboscis monkeys on Bako's beaches, and Iban longhouses reached only by river.

Our guide spotted a wild orangutan nest from the boat before anyone else saw a thing. Every transfer ran on time, and the Kinabatangan lodge was the highlight of our whole Asia trip.
We sent Avid Borneo a group of 40 for an incentive trip. They handled the island day, the gala dinner and a last-minute flight change without a single complaint from our guests.
Summiting Kinabalu was tough, but the team prepared us brilliantly: the right gear list, an early start and a guide who kept us laughing all the way to Low's Peak.

Summit night gets close to freezing. Our guides share the kit list they actually use, from headlamps to the one snack you'll be glad you brought.

Fruiting seasons, river levels and feeding times: how to time your trip for the best chance of a wild encounter.

Night markets, Gaya Street breakfasts and the waterfront sunset spot locals actually go to.
