60mins speedboat ride from Semporna jetty with Celebes Explorer dive center, departure at 07:30. Upon arrival, the boat pack on the shore, jump off the vessel then we had to sign in at the Island Registration, individually. 1st dive: Barracuda Point Wall/ drift dive Dive time: 60mins Marine life: white tips shark (resting) 2nd dive: South Point Slope/ drift dive Marine life: Cyclone School of Big Eye Trevally, Giant Green Turtles, White tip sharks (resting and circling) and Napoleon Wrasse. 3rd dive: Turtle Tomb/ Cave Wall/ drift dive Marine life: GREEN HUMPHEAD PARROTFISHS (40mins), Giant Green Turtle & Barracuda Fishes Highlight: 1) REMEMBER: you are there for scuba diving and nothing else. 2) divers must be experienced with drift and buoyancy control to avoid damaging sensitive to marine life. 3) no fresh water, basic toilet (many soiled & dirty cubicles, no washing material or drying material available on the island. 4) limited jetty access, you are lucky if your operator can dock on the very poor constructed wood bridge. 5) check with your operator best/ highest chance to see Green Humphead Parrot Fishes.

It was a sunny afternoon and we were looking some indoor activity to spend the time. My friend saw this place from Tripadvisor. Since it's the "1st Top Thing To Do List" in Malacca therefore we gave it a try. In the beggining, we received a warm welcome from Ms. Melanie. She gave us a briefing about the rules while interacting with the huskies. Hand sanitizer is provided. Surprisingly this place is unexpectedly amazing as we are able to interact with more than 10 Siberian Huskies in a clean environment. There are staffs always duty in the area to ensure the safety of the dogs and human.Free photography service is available.Not only that, there is an education gallery available for us to understand more about the breed. In the end of the session, there are free drinks available to claim at the cafe. We would definitely come back when we are back to Malacca. Thumbs up to Melanie for the friendly service ????????

Sandakan Memorial Park

Reviewed By OrderintheHouse

In September and October 2017 my wife and I visited delightful Malaysian Borneo visiting attractions in both Sarawak and Sabah. Included in the Sabah section was a visit to Sandakan Memorial Park. A visit to the Sandakan Memorial Park is a reflective and very solemn experience for any visitor to Sandakan. It dedicates the memory of 1793 Australian and 641 British members of the armed forces whilst prisoners of war (POWs) in Borneo during World War II. It highlights the terrible atrocities inflicted upon those POWs who lost their lives on the infamous Death Marches from Sandakan to Ranau, around 220 kilometres inland and close to Kinabalu Park. Only 6 prisoners, all Australians, survived. To my mind it is an essential visit for any Australian traveller to Malaysian Borneo to gain an insight into this important aspect of Australian war history. The Park is adjacent to the site of the original Sandakan POW camp. There are several memorial and interpretive stations around the park for visitors to explore at their own pace via an impressive walking track. The landscaping of the Park including the lake, gardens and trees is very beautifully maintained. The Commemorative Pavilion is also an important aspect of the Park displaying photographic exhibits that tell countless stories of the atrocities inflicted upon these brave POWs by their Japanese captors. A feature in this Pavilion is the decorative gates depicting flowers representing people of the three nations who suffered at Sandakan during the Second World War. Above all, the Park is a chilling reminder to all that in learning to forgive the wrongs of the past we must maintain Memorials such as Sandakan Memorial Park to make sure we never allow these wrongs to be repeated. It’s this reminder that makes this Park so essential to include in any Borneo visit. Equally impressive are the memorial stain glass windows installed since 2005 in St Michael’s Church, Sandakan in memory of the POWs imprisoned in Borneo. I would recommend a visit here also. You need to make arrangements with the Church Office to gain access inside the Church, for a small fee. Another must for travellers interested in this chapter of World War II history is the Sabah Tea Plantation at Ranau. The Plantation is on the very site where the Death Marches ended and viewing further impressive POW memorials is an added bonus to simply buying Sabah tea or enjoying lunch in the Plantation Restaurant. We were deeply moved by all three experiences. .

Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary

Reviewed By Daneli09

Arrived early, had a good meal in the onsite restaurant before going to the feeding platform. Saw dozens of proboscis monkeys and several troops of macaques within arms length on the boardwalk leading to the feeding platform. Travelling between the feeding platforms, we saw hornbills, silver eared monkeys, wild boar and a huge monitor lizard. Great day out.
