“I’d like to visit Sabah with my family for a few days but it might cost me a huge amount of money. Or maybe I just stick to the ordinary domestic vacation or else travel to the nearest town and introduce several new places to my kids? Oh dear…I wonder which one is the best for my much-loved family”.
Do you encounter the same scenario when planning your yearly family vacation? I’m sure when it comes to involve money and vacation; people tend to plan wisely. Well, you know what? You can actually give the best to your family without carving hardly your saving!
I’m not sure how to explain it here, and I’m not sure whether you’ll like it or not but I need to emphasize here that it will not suitable to all persons. You may have to ask yourself as the planner of the vacation whether your group can cope with the package you are about to prepare for them.
I prefer to name this practice as “Travel By Yourself In Sabah”. The itinerary and method of traveling will be similar to DIY (Do-It-Yourself) vacation plan. Below are the very general outlines of the above practice for you to imagine the outcome:
1. Identify your family or group members
2. Classify what and where are the places you want to visit
3. Discover the mode of transportation
4. Identify the cheapest and reasonable accommodation
5. List down your proposed activities.
6. Find out the air tickets special rates
The above processes may look simple but it requires time as well as effort in order to ensure the smooth, well planned, inexpensive and memorable vacation.

1 week of vacation in Sabah would be a fantastic escape and of course it requires the best resolution or arrangement on how to plan on it. To be honest, you would need to really jot down something on paper for planning purposes.
The first thing you’ll need to decide is, what kind of vacation do you prefer? Some people might want an adventure vacation; some couple might choose a romantic vacation. Some might want to experience the city pleasure and shop our local or imported products. Or perhaps you want to combine the said characters into a fabulous vacation, who knows? It is wise to decide earlier in order to get the efficient, effective and most importantly a meaningful and memorable vacation.
Secondly, you might want to pick out the suitable place or region to visit and might as well determine the available or appropriate activities that you could perform in one particular area. At the same time, don’t forget to check out the accommodation rates and available facilities.
Last but not least, you need to make a decision on the types of transportation while staying in Sabah. You have various options, either you drive yourself by renting a car, or commute by public transports such as taxi or bus. Or appoint a tour agency to plan your trip but this will cost you more.
Kindly refer to my previous post on the subject of “Interesting Places in Sabah” and to the other related posts. Who knows it might give you some ideas on planning your next vacation in Sabah. Happy planning!
