Amazing Borneo Malaysia! What to See in Kota Kinabalu

Kota Kinabalu is the state capital of Sabah, Malaysia on Borneo Island. This beautiful city has lots to see & do and if you travel to Borneo, then Kota Kinabalu is a must visit city. Malaysia is packed with fun and adventure and in this travel guide to KK we will show you the highlights including snorkeling the islands near Kota Kinabalu, catching a stunning sunset at Tanjung Aru Beach and feasting on seafood at the Kota Kinabalu Waterfront Night Seafood Market. We then do some shopping at the famous KK Gaya Street Sunday Morning Market and discover the history of both Sabah and Kota Kinabalu at the Sabah State Museum.

🇲🇾 We have been slow traveling for over two years and this is our second trip to Malaysia. On our first trip we made videos in Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi, Penang and Melaka. Now we are excited to be exploring Borneo starting in Kota Kinabalu. We can’t wait to see the jungle, beaches and eat what we are told is the best seafood in Malaysia.

I was in Sabah last year staying at KK, then went to Sandakan, Mabul Island, Semporna and Sipadan Island - absolutely amazing

Borneo is truly amazing and beautiful!

I swear every video about Malaysia has been released in the past 6 months. Lol. It's like all of a sudden YouTubers got sick of Bali and Thailand and realize there were other options. I just hope that it doesn't become over visited

Beautiful sunset and delicious looking food!

After santorini Greece, this could be the best sunset.

Jangan letak harga berlebihan. Tuhan melihat niat para peniaga. Anda akan mendapat lebih rezeki jika berniat jujur.

Hi, Thank you for sharing your video.
Can someone tell me if tap water in kota kinabalu is safe to drink? or people buy bottled water?

[keangwooichoo]

Unfortunately some beaches in the east coast are polluted by sea trash. Can be from anywhere, locally there are likely from sea gypsies living on the water villages. These are stateless people. The bajau laut. No waste management there of course.
