I received an email requesting for a 3D2N package to Rungus Longhouse in Kudat. After discussing with Aiden on how to write a good itinerary, I came out with this package. If you decided to choose the package as one of your travel get away, just drop me an email. I was told by Aiden not to put the price of the package in this blog, but I can assure you that you will get a very good deal if you book with us. The longhouse is run by my in laws family, Mr. Maranjak Milaad as the head of the longhouse.
Afternoon - should arrive in the longhouse, and will be greeted by my in-laws family. Mr Maranjak is the head of Maranjak Homestay and from that point of time, you will be the guest of the longhouse. After having welcoming drinks, (coconut juice and some locally brewed liquor), you will be introduce to the lifestyle of the Rungus Longhouse and the activities. You will be shown on how to make beads (Beads making) and other handicraft, so called “Inavol”.
Evening - Dinner will be served with lots of local delicacies, and most of the vegetables are home grown. After dinner, there will be a traditional dance show for you, so called “Mongigol” and you are invited to join the show. You will also be served with local drinks, called “montoku”. But I must remind you that this drinks, if take excessively can lead you to be drunk. The night will end with you sleeping in one of the rooms in the longhouse.
Afternoon - After lunch, you can book a trip for Kudat district sightseeing. Mr Maranjak can provide you with a transport to visit the beautiful beaches at the Tip of Borneo, have a sightseeing session in Kudat town, and head to Kampung Sumangkap for Gong making and Honey Bee farm in Matunggong.

I stayed Longhouse in year of 2007. This was a good experience. Longhouse residents were friendly. Before reach there, remeber buy one can of biscuit(small packing), and sweet give to children overthere.
June 9th, 2009 at 9:35 am
I would like to apologize in advance, as I am currently ceasing the online service for the longhouse starting from July 1st, 2009. It is because my father in law has some financial and human resource issues with the transportation to the longhouse, and he could not provides the appropriate services for visitors anymore. So, from July 1st 2009, I am diverting you to Borneoecotours for more professional and appropriate transport & travel services.
Please contact Borneoecotours here for the better:
