Make your stay with us just that much more unforgettable by taking part in these exciting activities offered at Bungaraya Island Resort.
Rainforest Discovery
Explore the island’s lush tropical jungle with a trek on any of the different trails of varying lengths. An interesting one takes you from Bungaraya Island Resort all the way to the bungaraya Marine Resort on the other side of the island, a trek that will take at least four hours. See the breathtaking view from the treetops by doing the complimentary canopy walk, which circles around four dipterocarp hardwood trees. For an exhilarating rush, go on the zip line which is just located nearby the canopy walk.
Zip Line
There’s more than one way to enjoy the jungle, and a ride on the flying fox is an exhilarating way to do so. The zip line begins at a height of 50m above ground level and makes three stops as it descends to the forest floor. For children, there are smaller-scale zip lines at lower elevations.
Canopy Walk
Imagine being high among the trees, and the awe-inspiring sceneries that would afford. Go for the complimentary canopy walk to discover for yourself and experience the rainforest from a whole new perspective.
Sea Adventures
Take to the warm azure waters in a kayak or paddleboard, or learn what it takes to be a sailor with a sailing lesson. Discover undersea wonders of the South China Sea with a snorkeling session or two.
Nautilus Sunset Cruise
The sun’s slow descent into the horizon is a sight to behold, a blazing vista awash in waning crimsons and twilight hues. Soak in this glorious spectacle on our sunset cruise while enjoying a tipple of your choice.
There are also options where clients can choose to do overnight tours to the Kinabatangan River as an Overnight tour (Sandakan, East Coast of Sabah), an opportunity to Sabah’s wildlife.
Kelias River Cruise
South of Kota Kinabalu and near the town of Beaufort, the Klias wetlands is an eco-destination sure to intrigue nature lovers. The lush mangrove forest reserve teems with creatures big and small, the most famous of them being the infamous probosci's monkey, Borneo’s largest primate distinguished by its pendulous nose, big round belly and light golden brown fur coat. In addition to having the largest proboscis monkey population, the wetlands are also home to macaques and the rare silvery langur monkey. One could even spot crocodiles, monitor lizards, tree snakes and all kinds of birds. When night falls, the forest comes alive with luminous fireflies.
Kinabalu Park National Park and Poring Hot Spring
Malaysia’s first Unesco World Heritage Site is Kinabalu Park in Kundasang, about 90km from the city of Kota Kinabalu. Within this park, which spans more than 75,000ha, stands Borneo and Malaysia’s highest peak, the majestic Mt Kinabalu, visible on clear days from anywhere in the park. A wide range of habitat features here, from rich tropical lowland and hill rainforest to tropical mountain forest, sub-alpine forest and shrub on the higher elevations. The park has also been designated a Centre of Plant Diversity for Southeast Asia, as it is exceptionally rich in species with examples of flora from the Himalayas, China, Australia, Malaysia, as well as pan-tropical flora. Visitors come here to enjoy the cool mountain air and feast their eyes on breathtaking views of valleys and mountain range – it is truly a sight for sore eyes. A trip here is sure to refresh soul and spirit.
