Resort Tour

Upon arriving at the resort we were just in time for the resort tour. The tour was about an hour and a half. It was great as it showed most parts of the 170 acres. So we boarded our chariot, which was really a tractor and trailor, and arrived at our first stop. The resort has it's own domestic farm. A lot of the food they serve is also grown at the resort. We wandered through and saw rabbits, goats, sheep, turtles and chickens.

After reboarding our tractor we headed up the mountain for a spectacular viewpoint. The bottom left picture is a palm farm where the only remaining local palm oil factory still operates. We drove through the resorts orchard where there were many local fruit trees growing. The bottom right pictures is a grove of Dragon Fruit trees. Next we left the tractor and boarded a boat for a river tour. The ride was short, but on the way we fed the fish that they farm. You can see some of them in the photo with Kieran. The final stop was at the waterfall. The resort borders the Lambir National Park where a lovely waterfall is one of the highlights. You can swim in the basin of the falls but we had other plans for the day.
