Taxi in Sabah is not run by meter. The taxi from the airport to KK town cost Rm13.6 per car. You can buy the ticket from the counter just outside the airport.

The Rm13.6 taxi is the kind- waja in white. You have to bargain the price for the normal red color taxi. The normal price for such distance cost RM13.

ranau bus terminal

'Bus' I mentioned is actually a van. If you are in a group, charter a van will be easier for you to go back to KK. The journey is around 3 hours, so to be comfortable, dont over-packed.

For a van with 5-6 people, it charges rm28 per person; for more than 8 people, it charges rm20 per person.

However, if you are alone, dont worry, there ia other alternative for you. Wait for a van to Ranau in Poring Hotspring. It cost you rm5 per person. There is no specific time that the van will depart until there are enough customer in the van.

After reaching Ranau, at Ranau bus terminal( or rather van terminal), take the van to KK. The journey costs you rm10. There are van every 1/2 hour from Ranau to KK.

The van will stop you at KK long distance bus terminal.

Ship at Kota Kinabalu Port

This is Asia’s pioneer cruise line.

Star Cruises berth at cities like Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City, Mumbai, Kaohsiung and even to Santorini, Istanbul, and Naples in the Mediterranean.

During my visit, I first went on Starship Virgo, which had 12 decks! She was a wonderful ship..not forgetting LUXURIOUS! Then I went on Starship Gemini; which was smaller in size but the luxury still applied! These ships have indoor and outdoor swimming pools, jacuzzi, restaurants and cafes, karaoke bar, gym, games room, a little casino, a ‘mahjong’ room, shops, beauty salon, library, etc etc.

Although frankly, I’m not really a fan of these large, expensivo fleets. These ships are perfect for those who do not know what to do with their money :) and are only interested in short day-city sightseeing tours.

For more info on the ships, check out their website.

With Air Asia, everyone can
fly!

Air Asia
Getting to Kota Kinabalu is easier than ever before. The discount airline Air Asia which is based in Malaysia, offers good rates on Tues, Wed and Thursdays. Weekend rates are a little higher and you may check their website for more details.

MAS
Travelling domestically via MAS is also a good option. With domestic flights, you can get 50% discounts using the Supersaver Economy option. However, this fare is not refundable and cannot be changed after the booking is made and ticket issued. A better, more flexible option is the Group Fare for 3 people travelling at the same time.

	Van from Kinabalu Park to Poring Hotspring	Tip Rating:

on January 15, 2005

We chartered a van from Mt. Kinabalu to Poring Hotspring. The journey took an hour. It costs us RM100 for 11 people to take the van.

Although the price is quite cheap, there are only 8 seats in the van, so we 11 of us have to share the seats.

The local & regional bus terminal s right in the city in fornt of the Court House. In this station, there is a map (see next pic) which shows the transport network which is very useful.

The long-distance air con is one main street behind.

Cool boat

If you get a group together maybe you can go out for an island tour on one of these Malaysian boats.
