Kota Kinabalu Trip Overview
Just as the Bajau tribes of Kota Belud are known for their horse-riding prowess, the Bajau Laut people are known for their seafaring skills. For many years these so-called ‘sea gypsies’ have subsisted on the ocean and resided in makeshift houseboats — more recently settling into Sabah’s coastal region in houses built on stilts. This 5-hour tour of Gayang village includes crab catching and a batik workshop, with round-trip transport from Kota Kinabalu hotels.
