Located 2,272 feet above sea levels, the harvests are 100% pesticide free as insect are drawn towards the 130 million year old rainforest surrounding the plantation. Afterwards head towards to the World World II Memorial Site also known as Kundasang War Memorial by the locals.

Kota Kinabalu tour FAQs

Common questions about booking Kota Kinabalu experiences through SimilarTours

When's the best time to climb Mount Kinabalu?

May to September offers the clearest weather and safest conditions. The mountain can close during heavy rain, so check current conditions before booking your trip. Most people aim for a pre-dawn summit push, which means starting your climb the day before.

How far ahead should I book Mount Kinabalu climbs?

Book at least 2-4 weeks out, especially if you want specific dates. The 2 to 3-day climbs fill up quickly during peak season, and the park has permit limits.

Are guided tours necessary, or can I explore on my own?

For Mount Kinabalu itself, a licensed guide is required by park rules. For other activities like diving courses and wildlife tours, a guide transforms the experience - they'll spot animals you'd walk past and know the safe routes through jungle and water.

What's included in these tour packages?

It varies widely. Mountain climbs typically cover guides, park permits, and accommodation in mountain huts. Multi-day packages might add meals, transport, and activities like wetland tours or beach time. Check the specifics of each tour before booking.

How do I get around Kota Kinabalu?

Most multi-day tours include transport from the city. For getting around town between tours, taxis and ride-hailing apps work, though organized airport transfers through your tour operator are more reliable.

Is this destination family-friendly?

Yes, with caveats. Shorter beach resort stays suit families easily. Mountain climbing and jungle treks are doable with older kids who can handle the physical demands - check age requirements with tour operators before booking.

What kind of fitness level do I need?

Beach and wetland tours are relaxed. Mount Kinabalu's 2-day climb is steep but doesn't require mountaineering skills - it's more about endurance and acclimatization. The 3-day version spreads the effort and includes more rest. Via ferrata climbing needs basic fitness and no fear of heights.
