BUKIT BOTAK
It took 45 minutes to reach the top. Unfortunately, we are unable to enjoy the view due to heavy rain. MISTY. We can't even watch the SUNSET. This is one of a great place to watch the SUNSET and SUNRISE.
The trail was quite easy, suitable for beginner.
This place not only suitable for hikers, but also can be one of the attractions for the youngster to TAKE THEIR OOTD PICTURES, because there is “photo-spot” along the trail. EYE CATCHING 😍.

Practical guide to visa-free travel to Malaysia to watch the sunset in Sabah
During the rainy season in Malaysia,
The sunset becomes rare and splendid✨.
If you want to see the century-old sunset by the sea,
7 points depend on the weather, and 3 points depend on yourself💪.
Keep this guide handy, and rush after reading it!
⏰Important time:
👉You can check the sunset time in Sabah on your mobile phone. The probability is around 18:00 recently, and it is completely down around 18:30. You can see the sunset changing different colors throughout the process. It is recommended to wait until it gets dark before leaving. If you are lucky, you can also encounter beach fireworks.
🗺Recommended itinerary before watching the sunset:
Island hopping or around the beach island, basically return to the pier at 16:30.
👉Take a taxi to the beach at 16:40, navigate to 'Tanjung aru first beach', you need to grab a good position for taking pictures, otherwise there will be people in the picture. Traffic in Sabah starts to jam from 17:00 in the evening, you can take a taxi in advance or walk a distance after watching the sunset.
📍Location:
Many people are hesitant to go to the beach or Shangri-La Hotel Sunset Bar to watch the sunset. Don't worry about coming out on vacation, if you can't, just watch! Two! Scene!
🏖Tanjung Aru Beach
Advantages: Free, wider view.
Disadvantages: There are many people, you need to queue up early.
The drop-off point is the first beach, and there will be fewer people going south to the second beach.
🍸Shangri-La Sunset bar
Advantages: Few people, with coconut trees and other scenery not monotonous.
Disadvantages: Need to book, there is a minimum consumption of 48-388RM.
📌Warm little Tips
⛅There may be beautiful sunsets on cloudy or cloudy days.
If it's not raining, don't give up, there may be surprises. The weather was average when I went, and the sunset burned the entire sky through the thick clouds.
🗓Arrange to watch the sunset in advance, don't just rely on the mangroves.
The itinerary of the mangroves mostly includes watching the sunset. But the half-day tour itinerary is full, and each family arranges differently. Eating buffet dinner + watching the sunset is free activity time, and it is likely to have missed the beach.
🎒The sunset is high tide, wear slippers and bring a waterproof bag.
Don't throw things on the beach just to free your hands to take pictures. Some are not safe, and the tide is likely to wet the backpack. If you bring a tripod to take pictures, try to choose a sturdy one or insert it into the sand.
📷Most of the sunsets are silhouettes, and the flash is turned on after dark.
You can make some big moves, pretend to take pictures and look at the phone, or directly record the video and screenshot it later.
🎈Additional information:
The world's three major sunsets👇Let's go see it together in the future!
①Tanjung Aru Beach in Sabah, Malaysia
②Puglia in Italy
③The Caribbean in Cuba
Immerse in the beauty of Kota Kinabalu !
#weekendgetaways
It was a short weekend trip to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and it was my first time to this travelling spot. It’s only a 2 hours and 30 minutes flight from Singapore and the flight tickets were very reasonable too.
The pace of Kota Kinabalu is slow and chill. One must visit the most iconic attraction - Tanjung Aru Beach for its mesmerising sunset. There are also restaurants around with the most popular one called Sunset Bar that serves decent food and drinks with very strategic location for you to enjoy the sunset.
You can also plan water activities such as snorkeling. It was an amazing experience to see all the corals and underwater views. Do it soon as the corals are dying at the very fast rate according to the tour guide.
Not to be missed is to have seafood feasts in Kota Kinabalu. There were many many choices of seafood restaurants and it was tough to choose one. Remember to get there early as things get sold out real fast! The best time to go would be 5 pm and anytime later than 6.30 pm would leave you with very limited choices. Go get your tickets now and get ready to enjoy a break with good food and good view ! #kotakinabalu #timetotravel #sabah

Tanjung Aru Beach Stunning Sunset
#weekendgetaways
Tanjung Aru Beach, often referred to as "Sunset Beach," owes its fame not only to its golden sands but, more significantly, to the daily theatrical display provided by the setting sun. Each evening, as the sun descends in a slow, graceful arc, it casts a kaleidoscope of colors across the sky. The transition from bright blue to warm hues of orange, pink, and purple is nothing short of awe-inspiring. The silhouettes of fishing boats and distant islands add depth to the scene, creating a picturesque tableau that photographers and romantics alike find irresistible.
One of the most enchanting aspects of the Tanjung Aru sunset is its consistency. Unlike fleeting moments that come and go, the sunsets here are a dependable occurrence. Locals and tourists gather on the beach well in advance, eager to secure a front-row seat to nature's grand performance. Families stroll along the shoreline, children build sandcastles, and couples walk hand in hand, all drawn by the allure of the impending spectacle.
Tanjung Aru Beach offers more than just a visual feast. The gentle lapping of waves against the shore and the caress of the sea breeze against your skin create a multisensory experience. The rhythmic sound of the ocean and the scent of saltwater combine to form a soothing symphony for the soul.

Mabul Island, Semporna, Sabah
Mabul Island is located at Sabah, Malaysia. On the island of Mabul, the first place in Malaysia to witness the sun's golden layers appear after sunrise. The beauty of nature from dark to light. The sun emerges from the ocean horizon and 'rays of lights' can be seen.
Likewise when the sun goes down, the sun slowly goes to the sea horizon. And at the same time, you can see a small cloud of clouds drifting across the orange sky. And there are also small boats that pass by and then give a picture of a true and beautiful natural painting. A very nice island and you will totally enjoy your time here#urbanexplorer #beachlife
Want to go snorkeling? Tioman Island in Malaysia is definitely a great choice, with many businesses offering scuba diving certification. Most hotels in Tioman Island are equivalent to domestic guesthouses, but if conditions permit, you can stay at Kapalai Island or Mabul Island.
From Kuala Lumpur to Tawau, it takes about 3 hours by flight. If you book Kapalai, there are airport pick-up and pier transfer services available.
If staying in a regular town, be sure to ask about the airport transfer fee and the snorkeling fee.
Mataking Island has two islands, big and small. The water on the small island is clearer. You can snorkel but not go to the island. The small Mataking Island is a private island.
