It was a 4D3N hotel and Canopy Walk inspection.
The plane from Singapore was delayed for
2 hr. I arived at the hotel at 2100hrs.
The next day which was the main part of
my inspection, Canopy Walk.
More details on this tour is as follow:
Canopy Walkway
Exotic Borneo - Pick up time: 0730hrs (Tanjung
Aru) 0830hrs (Shangri La Rasa Ria)
Journey from Tanjung Aru - Rasa Ria is
about 45-60mins
Assemble at 0730hrs at hotel lobby. Driving
for about 45mins (smooth trafiic) to Rasa
Ria for 2nd pick up point. Along the way
to Mount Kinabalu for driving about 1 hour,
it is necessary to stop for a 15mins rest
for toilet & beverage break in order
to continue our journey for another 1 hour
drive till we arrive at the foot of Mount
Kinabalu where Kinabalu Park is located.
Upon arriving Kinabalu Park, we decided
to go for a canopy walk which is located
at porting hot spring.
Walking past the public & private room
of hot spring & rock pool, we came
to the entrance of canopy walkway where
we need to pay a fee of RM5 if you have
a camera with you.
Along the way to the peak of canopy walkway,
we will find a place for you to rest if
you are feeling tired in order to carry
on. At the peak, you will see a long string
bridge which you must pass through it in
order to finish the canopy walk as both
the path are to separate walk. It is so
fun & interesting that you will never
forget.
Approximately at 1300hrs, we had our lunch
at the restaurant which is just 3min drive
to nature park where wild orchid are located.
Certain wild orchid lifespan is just 2-4
days after which they will wiltered. The
season for wild orchid is on rainy season
which is on November and December. January
- March no flower is blooming.
Hotel inspection begin on this day and
ended late in the evening. I manage to
find some time to visit Sabah night market,
where you can find clothes, toys, bags,
shoes & handicraft etc. Sabah is the
best place in Malaysia for cheap & delicious
seafood. I do not manage to try their seafood
as my schedules was tight.
I also manage to find a time to visit
KK town which is 45mins from Rasa Ria Resort
on my last day of my trip. In the morning,
I visited the heritage village which is
located near Sabah Museum. It is a place
where you can explore the traditional houses
of some of Sabah’s ethnic communities without
prying into their privacy.
For my conclusion, for those who are keen
in Sabah culture, seafood & local stuffs,
they can stay at city hotel which will
be much more convenience.
For those who like sea & beaches,
they can stay at resort hotel like Shangri
La Rasa Ria or Nexus which both have a
long beautiful beach.
