Free entrance. Take a grab from KFC in Semporna town approximately RM11 to get there. To save your budget better go in grouping more cheaper. It will takes around 30 minutes to reach there. If possible come early because the place will close at 5 pm. So you can have more time to enjoy the stunning view if you come early. Suitable for nature lovers and hikers. Mind your step and climb slowly. Do not rushing just enjoy the breeze and amazing view surrounding you. Don't forget to witness the sunset and take photo or selfie for your remembrance. Get down before the sun go down and dark for your safety purpose. Wear a suitable shoes for your convenience. Highly recommended and it's a must to visit.

This home gives an excellent impression of the life of Agnes Newton Keith and her husband and son. Well displayed historical information of their life in Sabah, the tastefully decorated and furnished rooms and the architecture of the house itself give a wonderful impression of the life of a colonial professional and his novelwriting wife at that time.

Monsopiad Heritage Village is a traditional village with historical site in the heartland of the Kadazandusun people and it is the only cultural village in Sabah built to commemorates the life and time of the legendary Kadazan and head-hunter warrior "Monsopiad". The direct descendants of Monsopiad, his 6th and 7th generations have build the village on the very land where Monsopiad lived and roamed some three centuries ago to remember their forefather, and to give you an extraordinary insight into their ancient and rich culture. Take a step back into the past, to the days of head hunting and spirit worshipping, when the Bobohizan (High Priestess of the Kadazandusun), ruled the villages and took care of health and spiritual well-being of their people. More than just a Museum, the concept of the Monsopiad Heritage Village is to document, revive and preserve the cultures and traditions, as well as the beliefs of the Kadazandusun people. Monsopiad Heritage Village is privately owned and managed by his direct descendants. Your visit at Monsopiad Heritage Village contribute directly to the conservation of one Malaysia's rich Cultural heritages and traditions.

We visited the Patau-Patau Water Village independently, it was easy to find on the outskirts of Labuan Main Town. The water village is basically a Malay Kampong with all the houses built on stilts out into the Labuan Harbour. There is an intricate network of raised concrete paths along which you can explore the water village. All the locals we met, and especially the children, were friendly and helpful in giving directions. Many of the houses are beautiful, immaculately maintained and feature many small plants, shrubs and flowers. You get a real feel for Malay customs and traditions as you wander freely around this large water village. Entrance is free and there is ample parking at the roadside at the entrance to the water village. Note that although this area is children friendly there are no handrails along the pathways !!! Possible the only negative to visiting this place is the apparent lack of any small restaurants or places to get a drink, it would have been nice just to sit down somewhere and soak up the ambience and culture of the place. But this a minor quibble !! Well worth an hour+ wandering around, highly recommended if visiting Labuan..
