A great place to hang out with friends and family. Watch the sun go down as you sip coconut water and chow down on satay, chicken wings, or hawker-style noodles.

Canopy Walkway at Poring - A visit to the Kinabalu Park is not complete without a jaunt to Poring. situated 40km away from the Park HQ. A must-visit!

For those who have an immense fear of heights, you might want to give this is a skip.

Klias River & Fireflies Kota Kinabalu - Situated approximately 120 kilometres south of Kota Kinabalu, the Klias River & Wetlands is a natural haven for animals and birdlife, with its most-famous resident being the weird-but-wonderful Proboscis monkeys.

White Water Rafting - For those keen on white water rafting, Padas River is an excellent place to go. Access to this river is only through the town of Beaufort, about 1 1/2 hrs drive from Kota Kinabalu.
