Sloping hills, dipping valleys and a sea of green as far as the eye can see... Immerse yourself in the lush surroundings of Sabah Tea Garden, a 2.5 hours journey from Kota Kinabalu. This is where you will find Sabah's finest tea, harveted with care, processed with precision and bewed for your pleasure.

Visit the house demo plot and lunch at teahouse with Mok’s select herbal drinks, stop by herbal shrub at Compost compound and continued your tour at Herbs island, Riverside Nusry Beds and Hillside jungle walk. Completed your tour with visit the herbs Corner at souvenir shop before we depart for next destination.
Next, you will head to the next highlight—enjoying a fish massage at the Tagal Sungai Moroli! After spending half a day exploring the tea plantation, your legs might feel a bit tired. That’s when the fish spa comes to the rescue, offering a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Watching the fish eagerly nibbling at the feed and enjoying the "food" provided by your heels is both therapeutic and entertaining. It’s a wonderful way to relax your body and mind!
In the Local Kadazandusun dialect, ‘tagal’ means ‘no fishing’, and the main purpose of the ‘tagal’ is to preserve the environment as well as the ecosystem to benefit the future generation. ‘Ikan Pelian’ or Malaysian Mahseer comes from the family of Cyprinidae. These fishes are specifically trained by the villagers to perform the healing massage activities.
Fish massages are believed to be beneficial for people with psoriasis. Come to Kampung Luanti for regular fish massages and you will enjoy smoother and suppler skin - just like a baby’s bottom.
