Rainforest Waterfalls,
an family outing place in Tawau District with a mini
hydro plant.
The Rainforest Waterfalls located at Andrassy, 28km from
Tawau town on the way to Tawau Air Port.
The resort is the brainchild of former Tawau Member of
Parliament, State Assemblyman and Senator Datuk Geoffrey
Yee, in fulfillment of his dream to own a waterfall.
Ranggu Water Fall features
landscape sculptures in alluring natural surroundings.
The area has three main waterfalls, each having its own
uniqueness.
1) The first fall which greets everyone on arrival
offers a natural mural which changes according to
sunlight and amount of water falling over it. Some call
it the magical wall. Visitors may take a refreshing dip
in the cold water, dive relax at the nearby resting
areas to appreciate beautiful scenery.
2) The second fall is accessible by climbing a flight of
challenging steps around a giant tree. Sitting here is
like relaxing at a pavilion while enjoying the fresh
water wetting and cooling the body.
3) Further up stream is yet another fall which is
shallower but no less attractive.
There are basic facilities provided, such as bathrooms,
toilets, barbecue stoves, resting areas with ample water
supply and hydro electricity supply.
Hand-made sculptures are strategically placed to add to
the appeal of the waterfalls.
Nature lovers may also like to stay overnight to enjoy
the sound water and what nature has to offer.
The Rainforest Waterfalls is certainly a great place for
picnic, camping, hash runs or group activities.
The Rainforest Waterfalls is open daily. You may drive
there through Jalan Ranggu or Jalan Quinn Hill, off
Jalan Apas. Entrance fee is price at RM8 for adult and
RM3 for children.
