Overview
Sabah’s gateway to Borneo has long been on the radar for those eager seeing more of the natural splendour of Malaysia’s green heart. However, the city has blossomed over the years, where it once did not have a prominent position on the tourism map. Called KK by its residents, Kota Kinabalu has turned into a melting pot of culture, food and a strong affinity towards that what keeps the city such a pleasure to wander through. Its demands to follow in the footsteps of the 21st century are there, but holding tight to its historical values, sights and landmarks makes it an excellent example of old versus new. Turn your Malaysia Borneo exploration complete with our half-day touring the sights, sounds and cultural aspects of one of Malaysia’s thriving travel hubs.

Itinerary
Sabah (Pass By)
You will be warmly greeted by your guide and driver at your Kota Kinabalu hotel (conditions apply) for your 3-hour tour through the capital of Sabah. The city packs a surprising punch of surprises as you and you travel companions move through the streets and alleys of former ‘Singgahmata (translated as ‘The Place where the Eye Lingers’). Depending on the location of your hotel, we include visits that depict historical, cultural and authentic aspects.
N/A
We begin with the Wisma Tun Mustapha, better known as the Sabah Foundation Building. From afar, the typical glass-and-steel building has been one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks.
45 minutes
Kota Kinabalu City Mosque (Pass By)
We pass by one of the most religious sites in KK – the State and City Mosque – while we weave through the streets to learn a bit more about other impressive, more modern landmarks, such as the University of Sabah, before passing by the Sabah Museum. A great collection of the traditions of the indigenous people living on is on permanent display here.
Signal Hill Observatory Platform
We end the day with heading up to Signal Hill – it is the spot around Kota Kinabalu that shows you the central business district and its off-the-coast islands from a bird’s eye view. When time permits, we include a quick browse at Kadaiku, a small centre for admiring local handicraft from the local tribe’s community.
Our half-day tour comes to an end, and your guide and driver for these three hours will bring you back to your hotel in the heart of Kota Kinabalu.
