Visit around KK

I plan to visit KK on May with family and friends about 10 person. I would like to ask some question:-)

1) We plan to rent a van and driver ourselves, is it a good idea? or we better take a tour guide?

2) How do we go to Kinabalu Park, if we drive? Which way we have to follow from KK city to Kinabalu Park?

3) Have any nice food and resonable price for seafood restaurant?

Thanks for help..

Visit around KK

Hi

can only really assist on item 3) opposite the le Meridien hotel is the night market, best freshly cooked fish, rice and noodles etc very very cheaply.

Visit around KK

Hi,

1) If you%26#39;re going to be out an about a lot, renting the van could be good - they go from around RM460 per day I think.

2) There%26#39;s a road that leads out of the city, across a fly-over past the Karamunsing Shopping Centre (on your left). If you stay on that road, you%26#39;ll eventually come to a big traffic junction with a huge red Canon billboard (10 mins, depending on traffic) - you turn left onto what is Tuaran Road and follow that road all the way until you get to a big roundabout that says -%26gt; Ranau / Kundasang (30 - 40 mins). There you turn right and you will drive until you find Kinabalu Park on the left (about an hour).

3) In town there%26#39;s Port View on the Waterfront and another one between Promenade Hotel and Wisma Wawasan shopping centre. If you drive out to the Rasa Ria resort (30 mins) there is also Gayang Seafood Village and Salut Seafood Village - both are great, much better (and cheaper) than in the city - I would recommend Gayang.


Hi TravellingMitch

Thanks for your info.. Is the night market open everyday night?


I would like to buy some frozen seafood from KK, have any shop to be recommand? Thanks, guy..


Both terminals at the airport have frozen seafood shops, but I%26#39;m not sure about the price or the quality - perhaps you can check when you arrive.

At Terminal 2 it%26#39;s near the departure entrance (which is just about 50m to the right of where you arrive).

At Terminal 1 it%26#39;s upstairs in the departure lounge, as opposed to downstairs where you arrive.

In KK town I can%26#39;t see I%26#39;ve ever noticed frozen seafood, as all the seafood I encounter are usually fresh.


OK.. Thanks.. I will look for it..

If I go for Kinabalu Park, I will pass by Gayang Seafood Restaurant at that time too? It is same road too?


Well, you could - but not on the road I described above, and it will be a bit longer than the road above.

Take the road to the 1Borneo shopping centre instead (easy to find) and follow the signs to Rasa Ria - before you reach Rasa Ria you will find the restaurants.

After that, continue on that road towards Tuaran and then when you got a t-junction, turn right. You will encounter the traffic circle after about 2km where you now need to turn left (as you%26#39;re approaching it from the other side).
