   - Adventurous day out!

   My partner and I decided to do something to get our adrenalin pumping so did the full day course of white water rafting, rock climbing, abseiling, high ropes and zipline. We booked through Zip Borneo & Alex was very helpful. We really enjoyed our day - the activities were well managed, the staff were fun, the food at lunch was delicious (and they cooked a special meal to cater to my gluten intolerance) and the scenary was beautiful. We had a fantastic time, and would recommend it to anyone looking to be active & outdoors! See more..

4. 5.0 Murug-Turug Waterfall (4 reviews)
   - Absolutely stunning waterfalls
   Thursday: 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent More than 3 hours Waterfalls
   
   
   Located about 50 km from Kota Kinabalu, the waterfalls near the town of Tamparuli is accessible by easy hiking. There are 3 packages offered: A: a 8 km hike with 7 waterfalls; B: a 5 km hike with 3 waterfalls and C: a 3 km hike with 1 waterfall. I took package B (cost RM 23: RM 15 guide fee and RM 8 conservation fee). You can easily get water and food supply at the starting point. There is a clean changing room and toilet just nearby. Wear comfortable drifit clothing and good hiking shoes. Bring your swim gear for a nice cool dip in the pool at the Murug Turug waterfall. The enclosed pictures of waterfalls are: Murug Turug, Kionop, Piolungan, respectively. See more..

   Come and take a look if you're interested in the history of the area. It's not a very famous tourist spot, but it's worth visiting. I visited here at noon, and some local people would sell food and fruit in the market. Try some local food, too. See more..
   
6. 3.0 Rumah Terbalik (200 reviews)
   - Up side down house and 3D Wonders Museum
   Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks
   
   
   Rumah Terbalik, the first upside down house of Malaysia is located in Kampung Telibong, Mile 21, Jalan Telibong, Tamparuli, Sabah, Malaysia. Nestled within the compound of Rumah Terbalik is also a souvenir shop (i.e. Tamu) well stocked with handicrafts and souvenirs and the 3D Wonders Museum. Using recycled wood and materials specifically to create a more local atmosphere, Rumah Tebalik has an area of 1,500 square feet and equiped with a living room, a dining area, a equipped kitchen, veranda, two bedrooms and a toilet. This fully furnished house is constructed with a slight tilt, and with everything fitted upside down inside the house, it certainly challenges the viewers' perspective when within. The kampong house signifies our past and heritage. Upside down is another perspective of seeing something. It's meant to be a fun way of looking at ourselves and life. As it is located along the main highway leading to Mt Kinabalu, Poring Hot Spring or even Kiulu River, it can help to enhance the already existing tour packages offered by travel agencies as being a short stopover point. A visit to the upside-down house guarantees to one of your most memorable experiences and it is a must-see attraction on your Sabah itinerary.As of February 2012, Rumah Terbalik has been listed within the Malaysia Book of Records as being the first upside down house of Malaysia! The 3D Wonders Museum is where visitors can explore the uniquely themed galleries, the first of its kind in Borneo, showcasing the importance of conservation while promoting the beautiful landscapes and the myriad of local cultures present in East Malaysia. Through the use of special art techniques, two-dimensional paintings will appear to pop out of the surface and come to life, immersing you in a vivid experience like no other. Create your own wacky stories and zip-line through the entire experience as you embark on an adventure in the 3D Wonders Museum right now! This latest attraction is just beside the renow...
