Explore Sabah - Tuaran : Tembara River Cruise for Fun and Nature Sight at Kg. Serusup

 Sabah : Kg. Serusup, Tuaran. 

 It was a sudden trip to visit Kg. Serusup for Tembara River Cruise. Spectacularly, the sunset view was amazing and with lesser crowd.

There were a few pick up points available for local and tourist to hop in without worrying about the transportation from KK City to the said destination.

Namely and pick up location in sequence

1)Shangri-la Tanjung Aru Resort, 2) Sutera Harbour Resort and 3) McDonald, Suria Sabah.

The whole journey took about 1 and 15 minutes from KK to Kg. Serusup.

Tembara Kasih Kitchen

Finally we arrived at Tembara River Cruise for cruise and other interesting activities.

We were being welcomed by the person in charge and local refreshment was being served. At the same time, briefing was done by the guide regards to Tembara River Cruise.

It was my first cycling after more than 15 years of not cycling. Thought that I would fell off the ground while cycling for such a long distance to the beach area.

Along the way, we enjoyed the local village scene with friendly smile along the way. The villages thought that we were tourists from other countries.

It was quite breezy, not warm when we were there, while the road was bumpy that we went through. But it's okay, preserving most of the natural environment is the key.

I was terrified to cycle across the bridge and friends taught me to slowly move the bicycle across the bridge to gather with them.

And we cycled back to the Tembara River Cruise.

It was really fun and we had fun as well. Many of them were laughing and recalled those days when they cycled to school.

That's the cruise that we will be cruising through the river for nature sight seeing and sunset.

I love photography and here also offers great outdoor photography location. For wedding, birding etc.

Other activities may include kayaking, camping are also available.

Tembara River Cruise located next to a fish farm. It was my first to get close to local fish farm.

We have the opportunity to learn the traditional way of crab catching. Tying fish meat to attract crabs.

We pulled the net to catch the size of the crab I caught, it was SMALL. (lol) But better then non and we released it back to the river later.

One side and somehow both side of the river is mangrove forest. If we are lucky, we are able to see Proboscis Monkey and other wildlife. Tembara River Cruise basically prioritized on the activities and nature green of Tuaran mangrove side.

The sunset.

Sunset are great and natural breath taking, that's why Sabah has the best sunset view and I felt honoured that we, Sabahan have one of the best nature in the world.

The best view of sunset slowing get dawn is around 6.00pm.

We went for fireflies and yes, we saw them. My phone wasn't compatible with the small lights as it wasn't the P20 Pro that they mentioned. Oh well.

We went back to Tembara Kasih Kitchen for our local delish dinner and back to KK at 8.45pm.

The Cowboy Town of Sabah - Sabandar Leisure Ride, Tuaran

Sabah Travel. KK Travel.
Sabandar Leisure Ride, Tuaran.

It was a random decision to visit Sabandar Leisure Ride during one fine Sunday. Moreover, the place was such a happening one in fact, with all of the people nearby and even from Kota Kinabalu drive there to have a look at the new Cowboy place.

- The Cowboy Town of Sabah -

The exterior building design is interesting with the concept and designs that we normally see in television, with wooden design that shows the vintage and cowboy country side.

It was few months after they are open for public, however, it was fewer choices for refreshments.

- Sabandar Leisure Ride -

- Hi, Ivy -

Every horse which we saw there was named. For those who are interested to feed them, just pay a small sum to purchase the grasses.

- Bamboo Restaurant -

- Bamboo Restaurant -

We went to the mangrove areas where we can see mangroves, restaurant and a few rooms for private function. It was interesting and it would be a great place for small private function.

- Riding Horses -

Visitors who went there have the chance to ride a horse with fees allocated, one round of ride with professional guide.

- Sabandar Cowboy Lodge & Cafe -

More space for improvement for them. For such I heard recently, the place is upgraded with more activities now. A short visiting out of town will be a fine place here, just the hot weather made it uncomfortable.

This Weekend, This Holiday, This Getaway. :)

First of all, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all the Muslims who are celebrating.

 I bet you all had a lot of fun in this few days. ;)

As for me, hehe :) It was happening for the past few days and TODAY as well!

- Terrace Cafe of Shangri-La Rasa Ria Resort -

Terence promised me to bring me to Rasa Ria and Nexus Karabunai for outing and lunch. 

And I almost puke because of the throat cutting price. GOSH! I had the most expensive Seafood Pasta @ RM41.00 while Terence's Classic Burger priced @ RM43.00. If you ask me how was it... In fact, both of it doesn't attract us, it doesn't taste good. :( We just "closed one eye" for our lunch. Paying for the environment I guess.
