Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
River
Kinabatangan River
The Kinabatangan crosses plains and riparian forest landscapes. Navigation depends on the flow, permissions and local security; a wildlife photograph does not guarantee a meeting.
Village
Sukau, Sabah
Sukau is a village and reception area in the lower Kinabatangan basin. Housing, docks and activities are the responsibility of local communities, whose agreement and private spaces must be respected.
Cave
Gomantong Caves
The Gomantong Caves house underground environments and regulated collection practices. Open routes, restrictions and sanitary conditions must be checked with the manager.
Village
Bilit, Sabah
Bilit is another village in Lower Kinabatangan, associated with coastal and forest landscapes. The accommodation and outings visible in the documentation are not currently believed to be available.
