Activity No. 2: Jetski or parasailing or island transfer with picnic lunch or sightseeing tours – Monsopiad Culture Village, City Tour or Sabah State Museum and Heritage Village

When I was between the ages of 8 to 10, I was staying in Kota Kinabalu and Tanjung Aru beach (the public side) was one of our favourites places for picnics. Back then (1982-1984), the Shangri-La’s Tanjung Aru Resort was already the premier resort. I didn’t get a chance to stay there then but would really love to take a holiday there one day.
