One of the best caves I have ever been. Simply amazing
This place has to be one the most amazing places I have ever been. Lush forest with wildlife all around. The boat you see is the boat we spent 3 nights on. Sleeping, eating and exploring around Tanjung Puting National Park. Here you will be able to see the Orangutan up close and personal

This is a very fine modern hotel located in the heart of Kota Kinabulu. We particularly appreciated the fact that it was a short walk to the restaurant row on the waterfront which offered outdoor seating and a variety of cuisines.
