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.

It’s an incredible part of the world. We are planning on going back to Borneo to more of the island.
Beautiful sunset and delicious looking food!
Borneo is truly amazing and beautiful!
After santorini Greece, this could be the best sunset.

Well, I have to admit, I've never heard of Kota Kinabalu. Definitely will be looking up more info about this great looking place. And that seafood at the waterfront night market looked amazing :)

Kota Kinabalu is definitely not on the main tourist route. Unless heading to Borneo to see wildlife then most people would not go. The seafood was amazing. Thanks for watching!

Popular with korean / japanese tourists. Europeans go there to hike mount kinabalu the 3rd highest island peak in the world. And watch orangutans.

Im sorry that u didnt know about kota kinabalu. This is on the blame of our malaysian government as they never wanted to promote sabah and sarawak state bcus they look down on us for no reason until the people from peninsular said we are poor and live on trees. They said is a joke but not a bad joke that we wanted. So many west malaysians have very bad habits. They treat foreigners kindly except sabah and sarawak in the borneo island

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

We haven’t been to Bali, but keep coming back to Malaysia. I suspect a lot of people come to Malaysia for the free 90 day visa. We can’t get enough of the place.

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?
@Farawaynow

Do not drink the tap water. Our hotel had a water dispenser in the lobby.
The price is about right. It would be around 2-3x in Peninsular Malaysia

Thank you for this. I have been wondering. The quality was very good.
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.

Unfortunately it seems to be all over SE Asia and out in the sea. I think a lot comes down the Mekong.
