Things You Can Do Here
- Learn the traditional way of life of the Borneo’s indigenous people – see the houses, walk on their bridges, watch their dances and try their food with just one entrance fee.
- Watch how the natives set fire without gas and matches, make blow pipes and even cool tattoos from natural plants scoured from the forest.
- Walk into the life of the Murut — the headhunter tribe of Borneo and see the skulls of those unlucky warriors, defeated by the ancestors of those you’ll meet in Mari Mari.
- Learn about their culture – which most probably is far different from yours. For example, to get married, a man must present at least one head to the family of the girl he intend to marry.
- Experience all these, inclusive of the entrance fee and at the comfort of return transport direct from your hotel to the Mari Mari Cultural Village, Sabah.
- Alternatively, if you want to feel the nostalgic era of steam railway cutting across Borneo, why not try the North Borneo railway tour too?
