Enjoying the breathtaking views from the Kota Kinabalu Waterfront — the South China Sea and nearby islands beckon
A tranquil haven of peace and serenity — savouring every moment — taking in the sights — picture-perfect
In the early hours of the morning, the city springs to life — the fishing boats bobbing up and down, preparing for another day’s catch
A vibrant city — a hub of activity by the water’s edge — a canvas taking on refreshing new hues during the course of the day and night.
There we stood on a bright and sunny Saturday morning — three colleagues in the Land Below the Wind
The boat ride from the marina — the start of an exciting adventure — island hopping at its best
Two beautiful islands, pristine beaches and the azure waters of the South China Sea
Yes, paradise is within reach!
Indeed, there’s something special about island hopping — the opportunity to be at one with nature
A day well spent — seawalking and parasailing near Manukan Island, snorkelling in the waters off Sapi Island
Having a sumptuous lunch by the sea — there’s no better way to savour the bounty of the sea, serenaded by the sound of the waves
For the three of us, the day in the sun fostered a tremendous sense of camaraderie — we are brothers!
The journey home to Kuching — a time to reflect and share our adventures in the Land Below the Wind
As Sarawakians and Sabahans, we are blessed to call Borneo home — a true tropical paradise
We have our own precious, priceless and unique treasure trove — an invitation to the world — come and experience our rich cultural heritage
Seize the opportunity to go on exciting adventures, enjoy the quiet calm of nature, our traditional culinary delights, and festivals!
