Activity itinerary

The journey will take you to long roads surrounded by a rich spectrum of greenery and overarched by wild blue skies. Traditional huts sprout along the village with each tribe house offering a unique display of culture, folklore and lifestyle practices through interactive demonstrations for the whole family to participate in. From blow-pipe shooting to rice-wine tasting, there's plenty to be thrilled about for the culturally-inclined. Besides sampling traditional treats that stood the test of time, grab the chance to witness a unique method of cutting tree barks into making traditional warrior vests. And if you're feeling rather frisky, jump for a “prize” on a built-in 'Lansaran', a traditional trampoline-like floor located in one of the tribe houses. You'll be given a chance to tap into Borneo's cultural pulse through a live ethnic dance performance. Literally dip your toes in the ancient 'Magunatip' bamboo-dance belonging to the Murut Tribe. And to finally seal your enthusiasm for a local experience, a buffet spread consisting of exotic cuisines that are synonymous with Sabah's cultural identity. Transfer back to your Hotel.
