Best places to visit in Kota Kinabalu

Kota Kinabalu, affectionately known as KK, is the charming capital of the Malaysian Borneo's Sabah state. A coastal city that partly lies on the island of Borneo, KK is often the escape that travelers seek to experience a blend of modern amenities and nature's grandeur. To make the most of your vacation here, our company, Happytripz, has curated a selection of tours to the most stunning destinations that this city has to offer. Mt. Kinabalu & Kinabalu National Park - Just a couple of hours’ drive from the city, the majestic Mt. Kinabalu awaits. As Borneo’s highest mountain, it challenges climbers from all around the globe. Even if scaling the summit is not your thing, the surrounding Kinabalu National Park offers trails through lush rainforests, hosting astounding biodiversity including rare orchids and the Rafflesia, the world's largest flower. - Google Maps Location Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park - Just a short boat ride from Kota Kinabalu lie the beautiful islands of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. The five islands – Gaya, Manukan, Sapi, Sulug and Mamutik – are teeming with marine life, providing snorkelers and divers with a paradisiacal underwater adventure. Pulau Sapi and Manukan are particularly popular for their crystal-clear waters and vibrant coral gardens. Poring Hot Springs - A soothing retreat from the city’s hustle and bustle, Poring Hot Springs is famous for its therapeutic hot-sulphur baths. Nestled within the boundaries of Kinabalu National Park, this attraction also features canopy walks high above the treetops offering a unique viewpoint of the rainforest, and the chance to spot some of Borneo's indigenous birds and wildlife. Signal Hill Observatory Platform - For a panoramic view of Kota Kinabalu, head to the Signal Hill Observatory Platform. It offers an enchanting view of the city against the backdrop of the South China Sea, and it's an ideal spot for photography enthusiasts looking to capture the cityscape from an elevated position. Kota Kinabalu City Mosque - A striking example of contemporary Islamic architecture, the Kota Kinabalu City Mosque seems to float on the nearby lagoon. Non-Muslim visitors are welcomed to admire its design and gain an insight into the spiritual side of the city. Atkinson Clock Tower - As one of the city's most enduring landmarks, the Atkinson Clock Tower has witnessed over a century of history. An easy climb up the hill offers travelers a slice of the city's colonial past and a picturesque vista that includes a sprawling view of the city.
