Mt Kinabalu This incredibly high granite peak simply begs to be climbed and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the province. Surrounded by beautiful rainforests and having gentle jungle trails, it is easy to negotiate by both the young at heart and those of a slower pace.

Mountain Biking If you are in the area at the time, then join the Mt. Kinabalu Mountain Bike Challenge held annually, usually in March. Ride through the rainforest past native mountain villages. This challenging event is held at the foot of the majestic Mt. Kinabalu and follows the legendary route taken by Sir Hugh Low - the first person to scale the peak of Borneo. If this isn't quite what you are after then take off on one of the many mountain tracks or simply peddle along the roadways discovering new challenges and areas as you go. Bikes can be rented from various rental outlets or your hotel may supply them.
