Imagine a journey that combines the serenity of a sunset with the excitement of a train ride. The Benoni Sunset Train Tour in Sabah, Malaysia is a unique experience that will leave you enchanted and inspired. This 3-hour journey takes you on a winding path along the rolling hills and lush forests of Sabah, culminating in a breathtaking sunset view from the comfort of your train carriage.
The departure time is at 4:00PM. As you board the train at Tanjung Aru Station, you'll receive a souvenir bag with a light refreshment provided by our onboard crew. The train chugs out of the station, gradually picking up speed as it winds its way through the scenic landscapes of Sabah. The train's large windows offer stunning views of the surrounding countryside, allowing you to take in the lush greenery and rugged hills as you journey towards your destination.
As the train continues its course, passengers can relax and enjoy the tranquil scenery, perhaps indulging in the refreshments or engaging in conversation. Along the way, there may be occasional stops at picturesque towns and villages, offering opportunities to explore local culture and crafts. The journey promises a memorable experience, blending comfort, scenic beauty, and the charm of Sabah’s natural landscapes.
As we approach the midpoint of your journey, our crews will introduce a special activity - a stencil henna tattoo session! Our crews onboard will carefully apply intricate designs onto your hands using stencils and henna paste. This ancient art form is not only a beautiful way to adorn your hands but also holds deep cultural significance in many parts of Asia. Take this opportunity to relax and unwind as you enjoy the gentle rocking motion of the train and the soothing views outside.
Next, as we near our destination, we'll set up an onboard batik painting station where you'll have the freedom to unleash your creativity and paint your own batik design. This unique activity allows you to take home a personalised souvenir as a memento of your memorable journey.
As the train approaches its final destination, you'll be treated to a breathtaking sunset view from the comfort of your seat. The train pulls into the Benoni beach just as the sun dips below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the surrounding landscape. Take in the tranquility of this moment, surrounded by nature's splendour and the warmth of fellow travellers.
After taking in the sunset views, board the train for the return journey to your starting point, with an estimated arrival back at Tanjung Aru Station around 8:00 PM. This time, enjoy a dinner served onboard while reminiscing about your wonderful experience and the beautiful sights you've witnessed.
