Kota Kinabalu Walking Tour
Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia
Why Walk Kota Kinabalu
Kota Kinabalu — known as KK — sits on the coast of Sabah in Malaysian Borneo, facing a string of islands and backed by the Crocodile Range mountains. Mount Kinabalu, Southeast Asia's highest peak at 4,095 meters, is visible from the city on clear days. The Filipino Market and night market offer some of the best seafood in Malaysia. The Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, just offshore, has coral reefs reachable in 15 minutes by boat.
