Kota Kinabalu: Gateway to Sabah
Bite-sized trip
Day 1 – Arrival in Kota Kinabalu
As you arrive into Kota Kinabalu you will spot Mount Kinabalu below, rising high above this coastal city. After a quick transfer from the airport to your central hotel, you can settle in and start exploring. Your comfortable hotel has a traditional style and is just a short walk from the sights of the city, as well as a wide choice of restaurants. Head down to the waterfront for dinner with a view as the sun sets across the bay.
Day 2 – Canopy walk in Kinabalu National Park
The following morning you will explore the World Heritage site, Kinabalu National Park, with a local guide. Enroute you can try some local fruits at Nabalu village before braving the heights of the rainforest canopy walkway 100 feet above the forest floor. Wander through the colourful butterfly garden and take a dip in one of the hot mineral springs set in beautifully landscaped gardens.
Day 3 – Departure from Kota Kinabalu
The following day, it’s time to wave goodbye to Kota Kinabalu and continue on to your next destination and the rest of your Borneo adventure.
