Independent travel in Sabah is limited compared to neighbouring Sarawak, and most travellers will have to rely on tour outfits at some point, though Sabah does have a huge number of tour operators, mostly based in Kota Kinabalu. A good operator can make life easier if you’re short on time, and some places are simply too expensive or too much hassle to visit independently.
If you run into problems with a tour agency, take your complaint to the Sabah Tourism Board (088 212121; www.sabahtourism.com; 51 Jln Gaya, Kota Kinabalu; 8am-Spm Mon-Fri, 8am-2pm Sat).
Popular itineraries include any combina tion of the Mt Kinabalu trek, the Sepilok orang-utan sanctuary, diving at Tun Sakaran National Park and jungle trekking in the Danum Valley. Attractions promoted individually by tour companies include the Tip of Borneo, jungle camps along the Kinabatangan and the remote Maliau Basin, while you can only visit Turtle Islands National Park and 'Cabin Wildlife Sanctuary as part of a tour. Homestay and cultural options are possible on most standard itineraries.
