I will advise you to go Redang! The beach and sea are very beautiful, especially if you like snorkeling and diving!

But the journey is very long & tiring!

Kota Kinabalu (KK) is the capital of Sabah state. KK is also known as Api.

Sarawak is another state, capital is Kuching.
Both Sabah and Sarawak are located in East MY.

Pulau Sipadan has a resort, famous for diving, also quite famous a few years ago when the Abu Sayyaf militants from Philippines attacked this island and kidnapped a few resort staffs and visitors.

This island located in Sabah state, at the South off Semporna town, in Tawau district. Tawau district is located a few hundred km Southeast of KK, perhaps you would like take a plane from KK to Tawau town or Semporna town before heading to Pulau Sipadan.

Located South of Kota Kinabalu is Pulau Tiga Park. Tiga means ‘three’ which is number of islands in this Park – Pulau Tiga, Pulau Kalampunian Damit and Pulau Kalampunian Besar. The main attraction here are the mud volcanoes and megapode birds on Pulau Tiga and sea snakes on Kalampunian Besar plus a host of other interesting island vegetation and marine life

i'm planning to go there end of this month...maybe will get some photos n post it here. i heard the sceneries very nice...

Klaire · 25-10-2005, 09:18 AM

kokwoe · 27-10-2005, 05:42 PM

personally i can tell u more bout sabah cos im now in sabah n im a local.... if u by chance are plannin a trip down here, maybe u can take a look on other activities as well, n if u r comin here with a group of frens, maybe u can go for mount kinabalu climbing. but of cos for that u will need to make early reservation.
as for langkawi, i never been there so i got no comment lor. juz knew that things there are mostly duty free. but in sabah u can go to labuan island to get duty free items as well. but i think sg also got duty free, rite?
