Malaysia's Sabah state beckons with sand, sun and wobbly knees
Article Abstract:
Malaysia's state of Sabah offers a multitude of attractions for adventurous tourists. Many of the interesting sites and activities can be visited better by a 'do-it-yourself' tour which will be facilitated by helpful resort personnel. Family run resorts can take tourists on a secluded island which they can enjoy for themselves. Hiking to Mount Kinabalu is the perfect closing adventure to an interesting tour, with its heights offering a magnificent view of the area.
