As someone who's born in Sabah and grew up there, really grateful and happy you guys got to be there and experience the nature! iirc Imbak Canyon wasn't really known amongst the locals until a few years ago (would say even some locals today wouldn't know about it) cause like you mentioned it on the video, the area was newly discovered. Made me happy to know the people there are passionate about it and really thankful they're preserving the place! Hope you guys enjoyed your stay at Sabah and thanks for the wonderful video and about the "can't go into the water for a swim" thing, while they might be keeping it preserved or for safety reasons, Sabah natives also has this "adat" (custom?) that nature should be respected bcs we believe they have spirits, kind of like animism. And some places in the forests shouldn't be bothered less there will be consequences

Hii, I was just guessing that it could've been one of the reasons why they were told to not swim in the river, maybe the guide didn't want to spook them. Or it could really just be to preserve the river/water. I swam in rivers before, but i always avoided the deeper parts of it bcs of real stories I heard from relatives where people's legs were being pulled down- it's better to be safe than sorry i think @@Yuremiko 😭

Borneo island has its own unique eco systems. Case in point: they found a species of leech, the Kinabalu giant red leech (Mimobdella buettikoferi), that dined on Kinabalu giant earthworm, Pheretima darnleiensis near Mountain Kinabalu, the highest mountain on the island.

Superbe reportage bravo Justin . Quelle expédition !!

Loved this one dude. Incredible footage

That is why Sabah Borneo are given the names like 'Land below the wind' & 'The lost World'. Maliau Basin is definately a lost world. You'd think you are lost somewhere in Jurrasic Park guys. As for the Tiger fish, yes some parts do have them. Although not as much documented as the African Tiger fish, I think it may just be as deadly. You are lucky to have a real life Rambo as your guide.

Spectacular scenery from the rainforest and great video🎉
