Kundasang day tour from Kota Kinabalu with Nabalu market, Desa dairy, Poring Hot Springs, and a quick Mount Kinabalu photo stop.
“Only the stopover at Mt Kinabalu foothill was the highlight. Nothing much to enjoy at the dairy farm except nice weather and beautiful flowers. Hot spring was more of a gimmick to me but the walk to see the waterfall was worth it. Butterfly park - I have seen better ones.”

“Had a fantastic time, full day of varied activities, all pretty interesting - and the guide was such a great guy! :D”
Private Kundasang and Poring Hot Springs from Kota Kinabalu, with Kinabalu Park trails, botanical garden, and a craft market stop.
“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”
