Planning to go on a solo trip this coming October holiday. What's the best transport method for a single person around sabah? I don't have a motorcycle license though.

Renting car for myself few days seemed a bit too expensive, is there any tour that I can join to move around? Looking to more island hopping and 1-2 days in city.

Any recommended package/agent for water activities? I'm looking for some scuba diving/sea walking (got no diving license though), maybe parasailing too.
There's this website for seawalking but all the links are dead.

Edit: Compiling stuff that I might be going for
*
Try download KLOOKS apps.i saw they got package.

Welp, wanted to book the poring hot spring tour from city center only realized the min booking is 2 pax, anywhere else where I can book a one day tour for Poring Hotspring+Kinabalu Park+Desa Farm?

I'm going solo so I guess I'll have to join group tours so have the transport. Renting a car would be too expensive for me.

I just checked Klook can one person RM175 - all yr 3 places.

Tried again and found that it if only Kinabalu Park + Poring Hot Spring then 1 pax is working fine.

Guess I'll have to skip the Desa Farm. Anyway thanks for the Klook recommendation!

Maybe when you go try talk to the tourguide . Desa Farm is nice if you never go. Milk and ice cream and yogurt so nice.

Just back from kk. If you going to kk Observatory Tower and have time can go signal hill eco farm also.

I dunno how to post pic but I found a blog. Be careful when turning in as the road is so small.

I even bought the kale vege back Malaysia for juice for rm10.

2. Kedai kopi yuit Cheong. Try roti kahwin (actually is our butter and kaya) . I don't have chance try their pork satay (if Ur not Muslim). as satay start 11am...There is Malay stall selling also the bakso and mee rebus very nice.

3. Welcome seafood

Other place...
4.Kedai kopi New mui vui. Try dumpling. Nice.. I dun have stomach eat their ikan Bakar Liao after I finish welcome seafood .

My fren told me yu yee bak kut teh (at gaya also) also nice.. me not enough time to try it.

Thanks for this info. I decided to bring my passport along, just in case. The thought of having to go the Police station to do a report is not my idea of a holiday - hehehe! Not worth the risk.  biggrin.gif

Hi All, anyone try to stay at mongolian yurt at kundasang before? I'm trying to look for accomodation within kundasang with 1 toddler.

Also, wanna ask do sabah town uber/grab is widely available?
*
I never stay at this Mongolian yurt but we purposely go see as we are very near. The road to yurt is one road only and very steep and dangerous . So scary if another car coming from in front. Maybe u can check wit the Mongolian yurt website how they arrange to bring u up to their yurt.

Grab is widely available in KK town. Suggest renting a car for Kundasang, with waze it's easy to navigate anyway.
