If you're in KK and know how to ride a scooter or motorcycle, do yourself a favor and visit Scooter Monkey! Hands down the best service on the island! I arrived in Sabah with the intention of renting a scooter and doing the entire Sabah loop, a 14-20 day trip... I fired up google to look up scooter places, and it was clear who I needed to visit. at first, I assumed the reviews were to good to be true. the sheer number of positive reviews they have compared to the competitors...but after meeting and working with Bonny the owner. It was crystal clear how and why they were leaps and bounds above the other scooter rental businesses on the island. Bonny listened to my trip plans, gave me honest recommendations on the best vehicle for the extended trip. Urged me test drive as many units as I wanted, to make sure I had the bike that best suited me. (every single one of his bikes is essentially new within the past year or two, beautifully maintained and meticulously cared for) Once my perfect bike was picked, he gave me saddle bags (massive life saver for extended trips.... These are a must!) rain ponchos, bungee cords, oil to top off the bike, and 2 helmets in case I had passengers along the way. Everything to ensure I had a safe and reliable trip was provided with the rental! He then went over trip planning with me, gave me highlights around the island, personal recommendations and insider local secrets that you wont find on tour sites. Not only do you get an awesome rental, but you get a personal guide who knows, and cares passionately about the island he calls home! If I had any questions along my journey it was so reassuring to know that I had a knowledgeable and well connected friend to reach out too on the island. Sabah/Borneo is really an incredible place, having the ability & freedom to explore it ground level like I did was an unforgettable experience. Id recommend the journey to anyone willing to go off the beaten path. weather you're taking a weekend trip or multi week adventure. Scooter Monkey is the only place you need consider! the level of customer service, communication, friendliness and willingness to help is purely unmatched by any other business i've worked with on the island, and most businesses in general. by the end of it, I really felt like I was given the close friends & family treatment. When revisiting Borneo I know where my first stop will be!

The mountain is so nice with a beautiful view. Best time to go is about 4 to 5pm and have a coffee or tea while waiting for sunset. The place is cool. The is a small hotel name Kokol Heaven. The cafe provide a good view of the mountain and sunset. The sunset view is worth waiting.

This is a very beautiful Temple in Kota Kinabalu which is very well kept and very clean. It has beautiful gardens with a lotus pond and it is so peaceful.

Masjid Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu, the City Mosque is the most famous tourist attraction in Sabah. This is a white and blue structure spread in acres and is a great example of modern Islamic architecture. The mosque is surrounded by water on all sides and hence called the Floating Mosque as well. Quite popular with tourists, it’s a great place to click selfies when you are on a city trip to Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia. If you want to go inside, you are supposed to change into coverall clothes provided by the mosque (valid for men as well as women). Entry charge for international visitors is RM 5.0. Entry is free for Malaysians.

Gaya Street Sunday Market

Reviewed By yapyy - Singapore, Singapore

Go early if you want to avoid the hot sun. This is a must-go place for tourists, because you can get everything tourists want: souvenirs, key-chains, t-shirt, Tenom Coffee, handicrafts, local foods..... my wife's favourite? Sabah pearls!! Sabah does produce pearls. my wife bought tons of pearl bracelets for all her friends, and she got a good bargain. My favourite is the water melon juice sold in whole-fruit. Since this is a tourist place, bargain is a must (for souvenirs). If you want taste of local food, there are plenty of restaurants here, but those famous one are always crowded. This is a very short street, but If you like shopping, this place can consume half your day. Unfortunately this place only open on Sunday.
