All Sabah travel packages at Matta Fair are best purchased during the travel fair in Kuala Lumpur. During this travel fair, the tour operators would have special prices for the many packages to Sabah.

Sabah Travel Packages at Matta Fair

People seem to be heading to Sabah Borneo due to the many affordable flights from various cities around Southeast Asia; flying in and out is quick and easy. Most travellers would purchase their own air tickets.

Then, they would opt for the ground packages to move around in Sabah as it is much easier. If you are a single traveller or couple, the ground packages are the best to get.

However, if you are travelling with your parents or in a large group, it is better to inquire about the full packages, including transport, rooms, and flights.

Below are some of the most popular Sabah Travel Packages offered during the Matta Fair.   

Kota Kinabalu Package 3D/2N Free and Easy
This city package caters to those who seek their own adventure while in Kota Kinabalu  (KK) and is usually bought for the weekend starting Friday and ending on Sunday.

The city package comes with a Free Hour City Tour while guests will be staying in the centre of town at the Best Western Kinabalu Daya Hotel.

This is a 2 to 3 Star Hotel located smack in the city where walking around is KK town is easy.

Things you can do around town would be visiting the Handicraft Market, Gaya Street Market (Sun Only), Shopping Malls, Kampung Air (Old Town Area), Jesselton Pier and KK Waterfront.

Maliau Basin Package 3D/2N Jungle Adventure
Maliau Basin is one of the most sought after adventure packages in Sabah Borneo, with very few people visiting this Lost World of Sabah.

Even our Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak made a recent visit to Maliau Basin early in 2011 and was the first prime minister of Malaysia to visit this unexplored place.

The experience you will have here is a land transfer all the way to the south of the basin, where you will continue with Sabah Park Rangers and Guide to the initial base camp and overnight here.

While here, trek to one of the beautiful waterfalls of Maliau Basin through the rugged rainforest seeing the many flora and fauna offered here.

A medium-level trek which is no more than an hour and suitable for most ages. After all, you can say ‘I’ve been to Maliau Basin‘ after taking this incredible trip of a lifetime. All meals are provided throughout most packages.

For the serious trekker or adventure lover, Maliau Basin requires a minimum of 7 to 12 days to fully explore this area.

Mabul and Sipadan Island Packages
Mabul and Sipidan Island are among the most beautiful islands on the east coast of Sabah Borneo and are highly sought by island and beach lovers.

Sipadan  Island is well known as one of the top scuba diving spots globally, while Mabul Island is home to the famous Bajau Sea Gypsies and where you will be staying.

Until a few years ago, visiting Sipadan Islands would cost you over RM1000 per person, but lately, homestyle lodge accommodations have improved and catered to those who would like to see these stunning islands.

Many tour companies offer you this unique chance to visit Mabul and Sipadan Islands at a fraction of the original prices listed a few years back. 

There are no 5-Star lodging, but rest assured you will be given 5-Star Service here.

Snorkel from just outside your room window, visit the local sea gipsy where their homes are on stilts or boats in the sea or even dive around the islands.

There are many types of Mabul Island packages available that can meet your requirements, and you can choose the various options offered.

As I visit every Matta Fair in Kuala Lumpur, I make it a point to constantly check some of the new tourism products for Sabah.

Usually, at the Sabah Tourism booth, around 20 to 30 different tour operators promote various types of Sabah travel packages, so you just need to see which one attracts you.
