im not sure abt that
ppl have been renting cars and driving them to kundasang ranau anyway, doesn't seem to have any problem

Thanks for the recommendation! There's package for kinabalu park, poring hot spring & mari mari cultural village. Looking good for me.

That aside, I have emailed BORNEO REEF WORLD SDN BHD and they quoted me some activity pricing.

a) Parasailing RM100 per person / RM180 for twin para
b) Jetski for 2 pax at RM200.00 (30 minutes)
c) Seawalking RM250.00 per person
d) Discover Scuba Dive RM280.00 per person
e) Flying Fish at RM75 per person (Min 3 person)
f) Banana Boat at RM40 per person (Min 4 person)
g) Kayak RM30 per person

They have other package that includes lunch+boat transfer, adding a couple of bucks above this pricing.

Is there any cheap accommodation/dorm available on the island? I'm planning to spend 2 days on the islands. Or should I just stay in KK and take the boat transfer for 2 days? I'm going on solo so budget is quite a concern. Not gonna spend a couple hundred bucks for a night in a resort to stay by myself 

Current itinerary
Day 1
Flight reach around noon, check in, hang around city, get use to transport and etc

Day 2
Scuba Diving + Sapi Island Day Trip

Day 3
Island Trip Day 2 at Gaya+Manukan+Mamutik / Mari Mari Cultural Park (Which one better? Mari Mari Cultural park kinda expensive for a 4 hour tour)

Day 4
Kinabalu Park & Poring Hot Spring + Desa Farm

Day 5
Morning hang around, after lunch go airport

Thanks for the recommendation! Did you stay on the mainland and take the boat transfer for 2nd day island tour?

Anyone can recommend where can I rent a car?

Prefer a place with good review and feedbacks. As well as affordable price.

Planning to travel to k.k.

thanks mate. what car did you used? I'm planning to go by 2 person

bring passport to sabah

peak of borneo

Hi all, will be making a trip to KK next week, with plans to head to Kundasang and Kudat. Planning to rent a car for the 2 of us, but a bit undecided on what car to take.

Friends have advised us that it's better to go with a 4x4 as road conditions can be a bit poor. Don't know how updated that advice is tho..

Also read above that others here have driven up with a Bezza or Saga before, so wondering if a 4x4 is completely necessary? Price difference is quite substantial, but I don't want to get the cheaper option just for the sake of saving some money, but having a terrible experience during the drive.

What's your take on this guys? Thanks!

yaya, KK.. i will be rent car to kundasang, just wonder when the time im in town, is it convenient or not to just travel via grab/uber.
