Easy Going Kota Kinabalu

Kota Kinabalu has a very modern, happening atmosphere and it is also the starting point and connecting point for our modules in Sabah. This Easy Going pack includes an airport pick-up, so you won't have to worry about how to get to your hotel. Choose from either a comfortable mid-class hotel or a more luxurious hotel, both in the heart of the city or stay at a beautiful beach resort about 30km from Kota Kinabalu with a pearly white soft sand beach right outside your front door. 

Kota Kinabalu's modern appeal naturally limits the amount of historic cultural attractions you can visit here. However, there are several places that you should visit while here such as the Tao Tua Pek Kong Temple, the famous catholic cathedral and the state mosque. We also suggest visiting the government museum, especially if you would like to learn more about local customs and specifically about the various Sabah tribes. There are also several scenic view areas overlooking the beautiful coastline and the city. Another 'must' while in this city is a visit to one of the colourful markets. But then again, maybe you just want to come here to rest and relax on one of the tropical beaches.. anything is possible and you get to choose.
