Since 2016 Sabah, Malaysia

Our Story

Born in Sabah. Built by locals. Dedicated to crafting journeys that feel personal, safe, and unforgettable.

A Note from Our Founders

We started Discovery Tours with weekend trips for friends and family, sharing places we love: Kundasang’s cool mornings, Klias’ fireflies, and the magic of Semporna’s islands. Word spread. We formalized, trained, got licensed, and kept our promise: safety first, transparent pricing, and hospitality that feels like home. Today, we’re proud to be a trusted local partner—still small enough to care, big enough to deliver.
