“Wonderful time visiting the botanical park and the canopy walk at Kinabalu park. The sky was clear in the morning, providing a good view of the Mountain from the Nabalu Viewing platform.

Review of Sabah’s Kundasang day tour, with Desa Dairy Farm, Poring Hot Springs, Nabalu Market, lunch, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“The organisation and timing and food was efficient and well managed. our guide was wonderfully informative, maybe too much so! The meal was very generous and very tasty. As a mixed group from Ireland/US where agriculture is our main economy we could have done without going to the farm! - I didn’t read the detail properly. The photo stop and market was just long enough and a nice taste of malaysian Borneo Economy. The jungle tree top wall was great, again it was just perfect amount of time and the distance also just right, we all really enjoyed it. The springs were a welcome relief afterwards, and the butterfly sanctuary…”

7.Private Kundasang and Poring Hot Spring Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 10 reviews · from $118

Review of a private Kota Kinabalu tour to Kundasang, Kinabalu Park, Nabalu Market, and Poring Hot Springs, with tips on value and timing.

“The tour to Kinabalu Park and the Poring Hot Springs was honestly a bit disappointing. The ratio between driving and actual activities felt excessive – we spent hours in the car for very limited stops, sometimes just 30 minutes after a 2-hour drive. While the landscapes are undeniably beautiful and you’re surrounded by nature, the experience itself felt rushed and not very engaging. Another downside was that the “guide” was more of a driver, and in our case he drove rather recklessly, which made the long drives less enjoyable. Overall, a tour with great natural scenery but poor organization and value.Read more”
