Notre Dame Cathedral, most of the restaurants and cafes are selling breads. We
wouldn’t want to have bread for like every day, so we walked and walked till we
met Esmeralda. Yes, very sexy name. Always remember, </span><span lang="EN-GB">when you travel, do not be afraid to try

Well, as Malaysia is somehow a westernized country, some of us do celebrate the Halloween for fun but you will not see like how people had fun in movies during the Halloween. There will be no one (or lovely kids) knocking your door and say ‘trick or treats’ and you get a full basket of sweets.

it’s like 10 minutes away from Kota Kinabalu City, Sabah. Super lucky citizens
of Kota Kinabalu are able to go for a short trip! Under the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine
Park, a cluster of islands comprising Pulau Gaya, Pulau Manukan, Pulau Mamutik,
and Pulau Sulug. By the way, the word “Pulau” means island in Malay language. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white;">I always return
to Pulau Mamutik due to its traffic. Not a lot of people crave to go Pulau
Mamutik but the others. Also, for its beautiful corals and fishes. Or maybe
because I took my PADI diving license here at this island and that is why it
makes me feels like home. Anyway.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white;">To go Mamutik
Island from Kota Kinabalu City, there is two ways actually which is through
Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal or Sutera Marina Jetty. Want to know more about
these two places? Check out the links.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white;">Things you can
do here in this island are basically straight forward. When you go to an
island, you swim, you dive, you eat, you have fun and you relax.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white;">Yes, you can
dive in Mamutik Island - Once you reached the island, walk to your right and
you will find Borneo Divers Training Institute. You can ask someone to assist
you from there. Prices might be in a range of RM250 to RM300. Of course
according to how many divers and boat dives you requests. If you do dive, don’t
forget to bring along your underwater camera. You don’t want to miss a memory
underwater. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white;">If water sport
is your cup of tea, you may contact any local tour companies for more
information regarding the water sport activities that are available. There are some local companies there at the island selling packages like Sea Walking, Snorkeling, and etc but do get the ones with license, to prevent anything bad happened. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Foods and
drinks at the island?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white;">I guess you got
to catch some fish for your lunch! Nah, there is a small café and you can ask
for anything a-la carte. Or, there is a convenient shop beside it. But
seriously, nothing fancy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white;">The toilet is
an orange building on the left side of the island. Be prepared to wait for your
turn! There is no hot water for shower, no tissue being prepared. So remember
to bring your own toiletries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white;">Facts: <br />
If you want to bring any alcohol (eg. Beer) to the island, get it in Kota
Kinabalu town before depart to Mamutik Island. It’s cheaper. Locals like me
done this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white;">If you saw
someone or some group of friends who brought foods, they are friendly local
people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Everybody ought to walk on this platform when ongoing the Nature Trail. Our Nature Guide is awesome when is comes to the explanation of each plants and creatures during the Nature Trail. You can see their passion towards the virgin jungle.</div>

Once we have reached Danum Valley, we checked into Borneo Rainforest Lodge. As the Sabah Young Tourism Ambassador, I have given a chance to travel to Danum Valley.</div>

Borneo Rainforest Lodge is built beside the Danum River. It is like an international standard lodge which is an eye opener for me. How can you expect to have such beautiful lodge located in the middle of the virgin jungle? It's like heaven. The lodge only accommodates a maximum of 60 people as to protect the mother nature, also to ensure all guest will have their own and memorable jungle experiences. I have mine, of course, and I am going to share it all here in this blog.<br />
<br />
Now, let's see what Borneo Rainforest Lodge an offer you.<br />

<br />
Did you see the previous picture? It is the lobby of Borneo Rainforest Lodge, first floor. Guest are able to rest and relax this is spot. Do remember this: You will get the best WIFI signal in this spot. Please don't tell anyone that I told you. ;)<br />
<br />
Now, talk about my room.<br />
I was placed in the Deluxe Room which is located beside and facing to the Danum River. I am amazed as I walked into my room. Big wooden panel door, Jacuzzi Pool outside the room facing the virgin jungle, big comfortable sofa, pillows and beds, with complimentary drinks and cookies, and nice bathroom too.<br />

Everyday, birds will just come, play hide and seek in bushes and trees. Grab a chance to snap their pictures, and here's a picture of one. Let me know if you can see the bird that I'm trying to snap!<br />
