Enjoy the scenic view of the Borneo city coastline of Kota Kinabalu while cruising through the Sea Gypsy village to catch the sunset at the end of the tour.
Immerse yourself in a two hour of relaxing and refreshingly casual affair on the waters of the South China Sea, off the coast of Kota Kinabalu city. Home to the capital of the Sabah state, Borneo is the third-largest island in the world and the largest in Asia. The Borneo island borders between Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia and prides itself as one of the oldest rainforests in the world.
The East Malaysian state of Sabah has dozens of islands that comes with a tranquil sea and white sandy beach. Most islands are accessible by a short boat ride from Kota Kinabalu. Sabah has the highest number of islands compared to other Malaysian states, with 392 islands. You will be cruising pass islands that shimmer in the distance and the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park while you enjoy the salty sea breeze with light refreshments.
You will also get a glimpse of the daily life of the sea gypsy as the cruise pass by their village. The sea gypsy, known as the Bajau Laut among the locals is a nomadic tribe that leads a traditional lifestyle at the sea. They dwell in small groups of stilted huts close to the coast but are always on the water. The unique community has become a disappearing tribe these days due to the challenges of being a stateless community on the sea, which sees an end to this kind of culture in future.
The enjoyment tour around nature would not be complete without the sunset and ocean vistas as you witness the city at its finest during the golden hour after the sunset. Catch the sunset by the turquoise coloured sea at the best point of view from the boat’s sundeck as you watch the Kota Kinabalu city slowly lights up to form one of the most beautiful skylines at night.
