Orou Sapulot
Though Sabah is famed for its wildlife and less so for culture Sapulot gives you glimpse into both of these worlds.
About Orou Sapulot
The founder who is a direct descendent of the Murut tribe, had a dream of bringing new life to the flora and fauna in the area as well as Murut tribes whose customs and traditions are slowly fading away.
Spend your days trekking through pristine rainforest, swimming and enjoying your lunch at beautiful waterfalls and visiting Murut villages and learning about the local people’s history and culture.
What Our Adventurers Think:
This trip was so good it made me write my first-ever review. It is among the best experiences I’ve ever had traveling. The mix between desolate jungle, thrilling adventures and cultural experiences offers a unique look at the many treasures this great island has to offer.
The guide was extremely knowledgeable and very nice. I now consider him my friend. The food was another highlight of the trip. Prepared by locals, it is both delicious and abundant. The itinerary says to bring snacks but ours just sat at the bottom of our backpack throughout.
In the video, the climb up the pinnacle looks almost too exciting. This is also the case in real life. While doing it, I was in disbelief that they let you do it and afterwards I was euphoric. Amazing scenes. I did, importantly, feel safe all the way through. A night down by the waterfall is the perfect way to unwind and take in the jungle. I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for an authenticBorneo experience. Five stars!
