About Kota Kinabalu

If you are planning to visit Malaysia, do make sure that Kota Kinabalu is in your list as it will surely be one of the most fantastic cities you would have ever come across in South East Asia. Kota Kinabalu is situated on the tropical island of Borneo, and is the state capital of the Malaysian state Sabah, which is one of the two states of East Malaysia.

This modern capital with its fair share of natural beauty is filled with warm hospitality that you can hardly find in many places around the world. Just around the corner you have the long, sandy beaches, paradise islands, virgin coral reefs, tropical rain forest and the magnificent Mount Kinabalu is just 90 minutes away. Affectionately known as KK or Api Api by the locals, Kota Kinabalu is a popular tourism getaway and a major gateway into Sabah and Borneo Island.

How to Get There

By Flight

Visitors can go fly to Kota Kinabalu International Airport from Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru from the Penisular and Kuching, Labuan, Lawas, Miri, Kudat, Sandakan, Lahad Datu and Tawau from the East of Malaysi as it is well served by MAS and AirAsia with several flights daily. Some of their international flights also including international flights to and from Brunei, Shenzhen, Jakarta, Manila, Singapore and Taipei.

By Bus

Several different stations around KK serve a variety of out-of-town destinations. There is a bus to Brunei. In general, land transport heading east departs from Inanam (Utara Terminal; 9km north of the city), while those heading north and south on the west coast leave from Padang Merdeka Bus Station.

By Boat

There are ferries departing from Jesselton Point, Kota Kinabalu to Brunei, Pulau Labuan and to Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park.

Tourist Attractions

Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park

Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine park located just off coast of Kota Kinabalu city and consist of 5 Island, namely Gaya Island, Sapi Island, Manukan Island, Sulug Island and Mamutik Island. Simply take the boat services at the Jesselton Point Terminal and choose which island you you would like to go. A wide-range of water activities such as banana boat, sea-walking, para sailing, jet ski to choose from.

Lok Kawi Wildlife Park Kota Kinabalu

This park is mainly a mini zoo along with a botanical garden. It houses an array of tropical animals found only in Borneo, with the inclusion of reptiles, birds and mammals. The unique point of this park is that it is designed around the natural habitat and is a spacious and open space with natural barriers like glass enclosures, camouflaged fences and virtual walls give the visitors a thoroughly fulfilling experience of watching the animals roam about in their natural habitat. Wildlife is at its best when it is left in its natural habitat just like how it is here.

Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre

TSepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre in the Malaysian Sabah District of North Borneo was founded to rehabilitate orphan orangutans and has 60 to 80 orangutans living free in the reserve. The facility provides medical care for orphaned and confiscated orangutans as well as dozens of other wildlife species. Some of the other animals which have been treated at the centre include; sun bears, gibbons, Sumatran rhinos and elephants.

Everything was okay but I would like to suggest to hotel management about quiteness around the hotel. I often wake up during my sleep in the midnight by people stayed around the hotel. Maybe can put signboard not to make noise from 10pm onwards. The kids running and shouting all nights

SUPER OYO 89944 Stay Inn
So frustrated. Checking in late because flight got delayed but then still got this kind of room. Unattended. Looks like somebody else just got out of this room right bfr I checked in without room service at all. Not recommended at all. Luckily I'm just staying here for a night bfr I can check in to another hotel. Yes it's cheap but still not worth it. Rm100 for a night in this condition is so frustrating.

Impiana Mutiara Hotel @ Kampung Air
Location is opposite a night market. A bit distance from gaya street. Room condition is totally different from the picture shown in their ads. Room is small, with funny smell inside every time I get into my room. I can hear people talking outside and banging their door at midnight. The lucky thing is air conditioner is still cold and hot water shower is still hot. Will I come again? NO!
