Tour programme

11.00 Meet with the guide at the port.

Kota Kinabalu is the capital of the state of Sabah. In 1881, the British established a settlement on the island of Gaya, just across the bay from where Kota Kinabalu is today.

  • Menara Tun Mustafa – The 32-storey building is 122m high and was built in 1977. It was built by Japanese builders. Formally named Yayasan Sabah Tower, it is home to Yayasan Sabah, a state-sponsored organization to promote education and economic development in the state. In 2001, the building was named in honor of the first governor of the state. The building has 72 polygonal walls made of 2,160 special reflective glass panels. They can withstand wind speeds of up to 272 km/hour. Radial steel bracing extends from the building’s central core, to which 96 high-strength steel rods are attached, supporting the 32 floors. There are only four such buildings in the world;
  • Poh Toh Sze – a Buddhist temple, built in 1980, dedicated to Kuan Yin – the goddess of mercy;
  • Kota Kinabalu city mosque– The most beautiful mosque in the state of Sabah, opened in 2000. It is an example of modern Islamic architecture today;
  • Philippine or Artisan Market – A local artisan market where you can buy local products and a variety of pearls, ranging in price from 5 EUR for small freshwater pearl bracelets to thousands of EUR for large sea pearls.

 13.30 Departure to the cultural village (30 minutes).

14.00 To enter the village, you have to cross the river on a wooden bridge. The village is in a picturesque location, on the bank of the river, with a waterfall right next to it, and you step into the past.

Here you will learn about the five ethnic groups of the state of Sabah, three of which were head hunters. This tradition was still alive during World War II, when the local natives fought against the Japanese. You will learn about the traditions of the natives, enter their house, taste local food and drinks, even rice wine, and learn local dances and pastimes such as archery. If you want, you will get a henna tattoo.

16.00 After getting to know the natives, you will be invited to an entertaining performance during which you will be able to learn the bamboo dance. After the performance, you will have time to take pictures with the dancers and shop at the souvenir shop. On the terrace you will have a lunch (buffet) with local meat and vegetable dishes, as well as fruit.

17.30 Departure to the port.

18.00 End of tour, estimated time of return to port.
