Accommodation in Kundasang

📍Ausvilla
Although it‘s called a homestay, it features a minimalist villa design style, offering comfortable understated luxury. The garden blends seamlessly with the surrounding environment, allowing you to see Mount Kinabalu right from the courtyard. Can you imagine the joy of sitting in the courtyard, enjoying hot pot while gazing at the mountain in the cool air?
Cleanliness ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

📍Sutera Sanctuary Lodges
For those on a budget, stay here! Stay here! Stay here! (It’s important, so I say it three times). Sutera Sanctuary Lodges is located within Kinabalu Park, featuring a vintage English design that creates a fantastic atmosphere ❤️. In the evening, you can ask the staff to light the fireplace for warmth, making you feel like you‘re in the English countryside. One trip feels like visiting two countries! 😍 Plus, their restaurant is excellent, with great food quality 😋. Even though it’s within the park, the restaurant prices are reasonable. 👍🏼

📍 Mountain Valley Resort

📍Mari Mari Cultural Village

Mari Mari Cultural Village is built in a jungle, full of incredible mystery. The cultural village showcases the five major tribes of Sabah: the farmers: Dusun and Rungus, the hunters and fishermen: the Lundayeh, the sea gypsies: Bajau, and the formidable warrior Murut.

You can experience, watch, listen, taste and feel the unique culture of Sabah❤️ Finally, there will be unique souvenirs for everyone entering the village.

In our mind, the real luxury of travel is to go to the local area, experience the local culture, eat a home-cooked meal at the local’s home, and establish a real connection with Sabah community

📍Dive Courses in Sabah

✅Advantages of getting certified in Sabah
- Clear water and beautiful underwater world
- Very beginner-friendly
- Less language barriers

🪪Dive certification association
PADI, SSI, SDI, NAUI (and more) are all globally recognized associations, which allow you to dive anywhere in the world.

Recreational diving certification levels:
1. Open Water Diver
This is the most basic certification, covering theory, confined water practice, and 4 open water dives. Allows diving to a maximum depth of 18 meters.

2. Advanced Open Water Diver
Requires more practical experience, usually 5-6 specialty training dives like night diving, deep diving, navigation, etc. Allows diving to a maximum depth of 30 meters and night diving.

❓Where to get certified (contact us arrange your trip)
🌅City areas
⭕️Advantages: If your trip is time-constrained, getting certified in the city area is convenient, as the dive site is only a 15-minute boat ride from the city.
⛔️Disadvantages: Due to the proximity to the city and more maritime activities, the water clarity may not be as good as the Mantanani Island.

🧜🏻‍♀️Mantanani Island
⭕️Advantages: Being far from the city, the coral reef ecosystem is very healthy, and the underwater world is so amazing. The private beach of the resort provides a great calm water environment for beginner practice. Mantanani Island is also a wonderful vacation spot where you can enjoy island life beyond just the diving.
⛔️Disadvantages: Mermaid Island is far from the city, so you need to allocate more time for the trip in and out.

📝Suggestion:
If you want to dive at the famous and beautiful dive sites, it’s recommended to get the Advanced Open Water certification. This will give you better diving depth capabilities and self-sufficiency underwater.

📍Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park

🏝️The park consists of five islands - Gaya Island, Sapi Island, Mamutik Island, Manukan Island, and Sulug Island. It is Malaysia’s first marine national park, and is just a 10-15 minute boat ride from the city.

🐠The most popular activity is island hopping, with options to visit Sapi Island, Mamutik Island, and Manukan Island - you can choose 2 out of 3 or just visit 1 island. We recommend just going to 1 island, as the activities on each island are similar.

There are many activity options on the island, including snorkeling, scuba diving, fun diving, obtaining diving certifications, sea walking, parasailing, banana boat rides, and jetski. You can also just relax on the beach and enjoy the sun☀️and coconuts🥥.

For more details on the itinerary and how to book, feel free to DM or check out our website, which will have the information you need.
