You have a couple of days off for a family holiday in Sabah but a Mount Kinabalu climb package just isn’t your thing. We’ve got you. Here’s a breakdown of what to include on your relaxing 3D2N Kota Kinabalu tour package.
Day 1
Your journey begins in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah’s capital. Have an early start and take a scenic two-hour drive through winding mountain roads to Kinabalu Park.
Upon arrival at the UNESCO World Heritage Site, check in to one of the top luxury resorts in Sabah. The elegant mountain lodges by Sutera Sanctuary Lodges are the perfect nature getaway.
Indulge in the local cuisine expertly prepared by chefs at Liwagu Restaurant or sip on hot tea amid the crisp mountain air. Spend the afternoon on a Kinabalu Park tour exploring the park’s many lush green trails. Spot wild orchids, ferns, and rare pitcher plants.
As evening settles, enjoy a cosy dinner on your veranda with a view of the mist-drape forest or stargaze on a clear night. End the night with a drink in front of your roaring fireplace or a relaxing soak in your private jacuzzi.
Day 2
Wake up to the crisp mountain air and enjoy breakfast surrounded by breathtaking views of Mount Kinabalu. Let the morning unfold at your own pace with a guided nature walk or a spot of birdwatching.
Around late morning, check out and begin your scenic 40-minute drive to Poring Hot Spring, another haven under the Sutera Sanctuary Lodges collection. The villas at this Sabah eco resort are an elegant blend of modern comforts and tranquility of the rainforest.
In the afternoon, embark on a short trek to the nearby Kipungit Waterfall for a picnic in nature. Next on the list is one of the must-not-miss things to do at Poring Hot Spring. Take a dip in the private thermal baths surrounded by the cool mountain air. These natural sulphur hot springs are known for their rejuvenative and skin-healing properties. Feel your muscles relax and any remnants of stress melt away.
Dinner awaits. The Rainforest Restaurant offers refined local flavors in the middle of a rainforest. Spend the rest of the evening soaking in the steamy hot pools or relaxing in your villa, serenaded by the soothing sounds of the forest.
Day 3
Begin your final day with a leisurely breakfast to the melody of birdsongs. Next, a stroll to the Poring Hot Spring Canopy Walkway, suspended high among the treetops. You’ll be treated to sweeping views of the jungle below—one last refreshing encounter with nature.
Check out before noon and make your way back toward Kota Kinabalu. Along the way, be sure to stop at the Kundasang Market to pick up local produce, flowers, and handmade souvenirs.
Arrive in the city by late afternoon, concluding your luxurious 3-day nature escape in Sabah’s highland paradise.
Make your Kinabalu Park and Poring Hot Spring resort bookings with Sutera Sanctuary Lodges for an experience defined by relaxation, discovery, and refined comfort.
