chloe kitty Posted February 20, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Our cruise stops at Kota Kinabalu. Has anyone been there? What is there to do? I hear there is a marketplace, how does someone get there from the dock? Would appreciate all and any info. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenbeanpole Posted February 20, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2019 try this website https://www.whatsinport.com/Kota-Kinabalu.htm I didn't like Kota Kinabalu - not much to do there really unless you hike up Mount Kinabalu which you can't because you're not there long enough. It's good for eating and shopping. Market is there but they are active very early in the morning and it's not really very interesting. There is a mosque that looks like it's floating in the water (but it isn't). Cost money to go in to take a photo! Be warned. Lots of shopping centres.

tring Posted February 25, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 25, 2019 We went on the ship’s trip to the foothills of Mount Kinabalu. We rarely do trips, but that one was really good and well worth doing. It is 2 hours each way from the port, so I would not have wanted to do that with any other tour company in case we did not get back. The journey was very scenic.

The cruise line has not listed any tours in this port yet. I will look for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
