what we do
Outward Bound Sabah sits on a beautiful ecologically diverse property consisting of 100 acres of forest and beach land. Our undeveloped land is ideal for orienteering and outdoor leadership activities.
The activities offered are jungle trekking expeditions in the tropical rainforests and kayaking expeditions to mangrove forests along the river or to islands in the South China Sea. Outward Bound Sabah also utilizes many other natural sites such as Sabah Parks.
