Scuba divers rave about the island of Sipadan with some of the best diving in the world. Howard recommends a homestay to connect more to the local culture. Next head to the Kinabatangan River where you can see more wildlife including the Borneo pygmy elephant. If you love sea turtles you may want to visit Turtle Islands National Park.
