Gayang Trails Fishing Village Crab Catching and Batik Painting from Kota Kinabalu

If the Bajau tribes of Kota Belud are known for their horse riding prowess, the Bajau Laut tribes are known for their seafaring skills. Bajau Laut tribes are usually known as the sea gypsy people, a term normally associated with the island people of the Pacific. For many years these people have lived in the ocean on their make shift house boats. It was only in recent years that they have made settlements into the coastal area, with their houses built on stilts. The ocean is still their main source of living – fishing, collecting clams and mussels and even pearl farming.
