BORNEO 🇲🇾 2 Weeks in Sabah | Sepilok, Turtle Island, Kinabatangan, Mt Kinabalu



I spent 2 weeks travelling around Sabah in Borneo, encountering incredible wildlife in the jungles, beaches and blue sea.

This was a bespoke tour I hosted with Intrepid Travel.

After spending a couple of nights in Kuala Lumpur, we arrived in Kota Kinabalu and prepared for the hike up to Mt Kinabalu summit.

Following this we saw the turtles laying their eggs on Selingan Turtle Island; visited the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre; spent 2 nights at the Sukau Rainforest lodge in Kinabatangan; visited the Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary; and did a night walk in the Rainforest Discovery Centre.

At the end of the trip I stayed on Gaya Island and managed to see whale sharks in the bay.

    I keep forgetting your girlfriend is from Winnipeg where I grew up. I saw the Jets toque you had on and I got excited! That's awesome!

    This video came up randomly and was well worth the view. Reminded me of my visit there coming from Saigon where me… a native New Yorker was working for a British company to attend a regional conference. We stopped firstly in KL then Brunei where at sunset the sky was absolutely crimson. Finally making it to the conference center about 8PM my wife and I decided to have dinner in our room. At about 9:30 my wife went for a shower and I turned on the news to a shock. It was the evening of September 11, 2001 there and so 9:30 AM or so in New York. What I saw made me think the doomsday clock had just struck midnight with the world trade center burning on one side of the TV screen and the Pentagon burning on the other. For a moment I was thinking that I may be living the rest of my life in Borneo. Anyway… we could see the mountain the next day but did not have time to climb it.

    So Magical!!! You guys are so awesome and had the best rainbow lucks with wildlife and Nature!! Glad the trip becomes a memorable one for everyone albeit the sweat and puff during the early descent! Haha…

    Truly excellent videography at work! Watching your piece is like a Nature's treat and professional photography with some laughs and fun! Thanks for sharing. Lovely and epical soundscapes and your narration is captivating allright. And lastly, so happy for both of you, lovely couple! May the best comes to your life. So, Borneo is like the fantasy Jurrassic park right?! Cheers!!

    Wow—easily the best travel video I’ve ever seen in YouTube—the variety of experiences in Borneo you documented Karl were just Amazing—hiking up a mountain…..Snorkeling on an island with Turtles……and River Forrest boating…….Safari Forrest hiking at night……Whalesharks…….I don’t know of any destination in the world that offers all of this. Superb and epic video Karl!

    I never thought I'd be watching a full 1-hour video so casually. Honestly, it's a very wholesome trip. ❤

    Imagine seeing all the beautiful animals in the rainforest.
    And then think about the burned down Amazon 😭

    Btw…Sabah was portrayed so beautifully in this vid. Thank you! ♥♥♥
