Tagal Luanti at Sungai Moroli, Ranau, Sabah. (Swimming with the fish)


Hey ya'll!
Before I start, fish or fishes? Haha. I just found out that the plural of fish is actually fish and not fishes. Fishes is used to refer to multiple species of fish. My whole childhood was a lie haha!

Have you ever got massages from fish/fishes? I'm not talking about the small nibbling ones, I'm talking about the almost two foot long ones. They're called "Ikan Pelian" also known as the Malaysian Mahseer which is consisted in the family of Cyprinidae. They're harmless as they suck dead skins off your body. It does get ticklish at times.

Check out this video I did in Tagal Luanti!

"Tagal" is a local Kadazandusun dialect that defines "tagal" as "no fishing". Fishing activities are strictly prohibited inside and around the river. The purpose of "tagal" is to preserve the environmental and ecosystem for future generations. Besides, the fishes here are too friendly to be 'fished'.


Tagal Luanti is located approximately 131 Kilometres from Kota Kinabalu which is roughly 2 hours and 30 minutes drive away. If you're planning to climb Mount Kinabalu from Kundasang, make some time to get a fish massage here. It's only 30 minutes drive from Kundasang. 

Here are the charges/fees, (20 minutes per session)

Malaysian
Adult : RM 5
Kids : RM2
Full body swimming : RM 10

International Nationalities
Adult : RM10
Kids : RM 5
Full body swimming : RM25

Fish food (To attract more fish to your spot)
20 cents per pack (Limited to 1-2 packs per person)

Camera/Recording Devices (Charged per group)
RM3 only

They open daily from 8.30am to 5pm. Oh, just a heads up, if you're going over for a fish massage, call +6088-876988 to check if they're open. They'll only close if the river's water level is high/flooded and raining. 

I've included a route I got from Google Maps, starting point at Kota Kinabalu International Airport to Ranau. Yea, you're probably looking at a 3 hours drive depending on the traffic conditions. I hope this helps. :)

Be sure to check out the video I made and subscribe to my Youtube channel for upcoming videos! It'll only take 3 minutes of your life :) 

As always, you people stay awesome a'ight! Be nasty, stay happy!
