Lahad Datu Market Tour (Sabah)

If you are one of those people referred to as a “market enthusiast” or someone who could spend hours at a supermarket and end up with just a loaf of bread or nothing at all, or your idea of traveling is to have at least one market tour on your list to do, then this Lahad Datu Market Tour is for you. However, be prepared that this market visit is really as local as it could get. The town itself is a small humble town, the locals are honored and often a time surprised as to what or why a traveler would want to visit their authentic market. Just as a traveler would view the locals and the goods they sell at the market as something unique, the traveler would be an attraction to the locals!

The market visit that Bike and Tours conduct in Lahad Datu. would take you on a local adventure to the 4 designated rustic markets – dried fish market, vegetable and fruit market, chicken market and finally the wet fish market. Closed shoes are recommended as our local market can be wet and may not be pleasant to some travelers. During the tour you will get the opportunity to interact with the locals and be introduced to their way of living. Besides the local produce, you get the opportunity to be exposed to the cultural aspects surrounding this countryside area.
