Some of the best are located in East Malaysia, a land which offers rainforests and also islands for you to choose from.<\/p>\n<h3>Sabah<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Sabah, you will be mesmerized by the crystal clear blue waters at the Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park. There are 5 islands within the park which are Pulau Manukan, Pulau Mamutik, Pulau Sapi, Pulau Gaya and Pulau Sulug. It is located 20 minutes via boat ride from Jesselton Pier at Kota Kinabalu. You can go for a snorkel, dive, or simply relax by the beach.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tip<\/strong>: To keep the cost down, opt for day trips instead of staying at the luxury resort on the Islands. You will have better budget friendly accommodations at Kota Kinabalu and still be within reach of the Island. The return boat fare to Jesselton Pier is about RM30.<br \/>\n<strong>Suggested accommodation<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.grandborneohotel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grand Borneo Hotel<\/a><\/strong>, from RM140++ per night.<\/p>\n<h3>Sarawak<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For a lush rainforest experience, Sarawak is the place to go which offers the most amount of rainforest than any part of Malaysia.
