A Great Road Trip to Sabandar Cowboy Town
I had booked a tour package with a group of friends to Sabandar Cowboy Town two weeks ago. The tour package was RM75.00 per pax which included mangrove park walk, dinner, sunset beach and firefly cruise.
Sabandar is located in the heart of Tuaran, approximately about 45 mins from KK town. On the day, we departed from KK Town around 3pm and we stopped by Our Land Eco Farm for a evening tea. The restaurant ambience is good and they provide a variety of seafoods. We ordered fresh oysters and tiger prawns and both were served in ‘local sashimi’ style. Oysters and tiger prawns were awesome and fresh, however the price is slightly higher. But worth a try!
We arrived Sabandar Cowboy Town around 5pm. There is a mini farm where we get to feed and play with rabbits. Of course, there are horses in cowboy town and you can have horse riding experience.
Thereafter, we had a leisure walk in the mangrove park, it was so relaxing and highly recommended for nature lovers. However, I would advise to wear long pants or put on insect repellant to avoid mosquitoes bites.
The dinner was ready around 5:45pm and we were served with Korean Bibimbap. It was a simple dinner but delicious.
After the dinner, we headed to Sabandar Beach for sunset. It is about 5 mins drive from Sabandar Cowboy Town to the beach. Again, I must say it that Sabah has one of the world’s best sunsets. The photos (with no filter) say it all.
Lastly, the highlight of the trip was the Firefly Cruise. It was my first time experiencing firefly watching and I was amazed at the sight of fireflies. I would say that it was a romantic to-do activity for a couple! Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take picture as it need to be completely dark to attract the fireflies. But, please do experience it yourself!
The trip ended around 7:30pm with happy memories :)
