Follow One of the Trails

Kinabalu Park, Sabah, Borneo is a natural wonder that offers visitors, as they follow nature trails, a glimpse into the fascinating world of flora within the park. You can choose to follow the trails independently , wait for the guided tour at 11am each morning (you pay as small fee for this), or go as part of a day trip. The choice is yours.

Kinabalu Park is one of my favorite places to go for a day out in Sabah, Borneo (when I’m not underwater diving). I have been several times this year so far and enjoy trekking one, or more, of the many marked trails each time I go. I even went on my Birthday as it’s such a lovely place to chill out, enjoy yourself and go for a scenic, energetic walk.

Enjoy Views Over The Crocker Range

To get to Kinabalu Park Headquarters, Sabah, Borneo you travel over the Crocker Range for about 1 hour. During this you can enjoy stunning views of both the mountain range and Mount Kinabalu.
