Borneo is nature’s theme park and it’s the wildlife and jungle that are Sabah’s biggest attractions. They are, however, not its only attractions, which is why you need this list of attractions in Kota Kinabalu and the rest of Sabah.

Our list of attractions include Sabah’s tourism products in which you are mostly a passive spectator, like the museum, a Klias River cruise, or visiting Poring Hot Springs. If you’re looking for a bit of action in Kota Kinabalu where you will participate in a major way, do head over to our Activities section.

While you’re here, you can arrange the list of attractions in Kota Kinabalu and elsewhere below accordingly by picking your preference from the drop-down menu or radio buttons.
