[2025 Kota Kinabalu Attraction] Travel Guide for Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal (Updated Mar)

It was a short trip to Kota Kinabalu 🇲🇾 On our first day, we visited Gaya Street Sunday Market. We explored the bustling market filled with local crafts, food, and souvenirs. Gaya Street, historically known as Bond Street, dates back to the early 1900s when it was the main commercial hub of Jesselton (now Kota Kinabalu). The market is a vibrant reflection of the city’s multicultural heritage, where you can find everything from local handicrafts to traditional snacks. ⏰6:30 AM - 1:00 PM (Sundays) 📍Jalan Gaya, Kota Kinabalu. We also visited the Sabah State Museum. The museum was established in 1965, houses an extensive collection of artifacts that tell the story of Sabah’s diverse ethnic groups, its colonial past, and its natural history. The museum complex also includes a Heritage Village, where traditional houses of various indigenous groups are on display. 💰 RM 15 (~$3.20 USD) ⏰ 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM 📍 Jalan Muzium, Kota Kinabalu. We also explored the Atkinson Clock Tower. It is one of the oldest standing structures in Kota Kinabalu. It was built in 1905, the Atkinson Clock Tower is a memorial to Francis George Atkinson, the first District Officer of Jesselton, who died of malaria at a young age. The clock tower survived the Allied bombing during World War II and remains one of the few pre-war structures still standing in the city. 📍 Signal Hill Road, Kota Kinabalu. We also explored the Signal Hill Observatory Platform to enjoy panoramic views of Kota Kinabalu and the surrounding islands. Signal Hill is the highest point in Kota Kinabalu, offering sweeping views of the city skyline, the coastline, and the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. Historically, it served as a strategic lookout point during the British colonial era. 📍Jalan Bukit Bendera, Kota Kinabalu. If you are looking for a place for dinner, I would suggest you to try Welcome Seafood Restaurant. We ordered the Grilled tiger prawns, butter milk crab, and Sabah vegetable (Sabah Choy).They were all very delicious, highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ . 💰 RM 50 - RM 100 per person (~$11 - $22 USD). 📍 Lot G18, Komplex Asia City, Kota Kinabalu. We also visited Manukan Island 🏝️ We tried out various activities such as Snorkeling 🤿 and swimming. Manukan Island is part of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park and is the second largest island in the park. The island is famous for its crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and diverse marine life, making it a perfect spot for snorkeling and beach activities. 💰 RM 20 (~$4.30 USD) for non-Malaysians. 📍Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, a 20-minute boat ride from Jesselton Point. We also visited Sapi Island. If you are visiting the island 🏝️, I would recommend you to try Zip-lining, snorkeling, and jungle trekking. They were all very fun 💯 Sapi Island, also within the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, is known for its pristine beaches and adventurous activities. The Coral Flyer, a zip line that connects Sapi Isl #malaysiatrip #vacation

If you’ve ever visited the city of Kota Kinabalu, you’d definitely have driven past Jesselton Quarry. Located along the docks, you’ll see numerous speedboats awaiting to pick up passengers to ferry them to nearby islands. Most rides cost about RM 30 for a round trip. This Quarry is also the perfect spot to catch the beautiful sunsets over the horizon - plus there’s a number of souvenir shops along the area if you’ve forgotten to bring that sunblock of yours 😉#newyearadventure

Who can refuse an island trip? Malacca Island on Gaya Island, Malaysia, is definitely a treasure destination. I just came back from there, and it's so beautiful that I don't want to leave! 💖Travel Experience The crystal-clear water allows you to see small fish swimming through, and snorkeling is like entering a fairy tale world. Walking along the white sandy beach, the fine sand massages your feet, which is extremely comfortable. The tropical rainforest on the island is also worth exploring, with various peculiar plants and small animals, full of surprises. 📝Travel Guide Transportation: First arrive in Kota Kinabalu, and then take a boat from Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal to Malacca Island. The boat trip takes about 20 minutes. Boat tickets can be purchased at the pier or online. Food: You must try the local seafood. The spicy shrimp at the restaurants near the pier has springy shrimp and is spicy and satisfying; there is also the special nasi lemak, which is very fragrant. Accommodation: There are resorts and homestays on the island. If you want to enjoy high-quality service, resorts are suitable; if you are looking for cost-effectiveness, homestays are a good choice. Remember to book in advance. Travel Route: Snorkel on the beach in the morning, go to the pier for lunch at noon, visit the tropical rainforest in the afternoon, and watch the beautiful sunset on the beach in the evening. Guys, hurry to Malacca Island and start a romantic island trip!

| Feel the exotic atmosphere. Island Tour🏝️🐟Kota Kinabalu also known as Kota Kinabalu A coastal city suitable for going to the sea🚢 DAY1️⃣City check-in 📍I have to say the Malay KFC chicken legs🍗yyds, I had it as a late night snack for two days in a row! + Sabah Night Market Picture 4 Feel the relaxation of Sabah people ~ sit on the ground ~ the nearby green coconut 🥥 is super delicious 👍. 📍Water Mosque🕌 You can only walk on the outermost side. There is a special place to take pictures📷 Although it is very photogenic, it is a little uneconomical to take a taxi to visit. DAY2️⃣Island hopping! I didn’t get up early, so I went to the Jetson Pier ⛵️ and waited for a while before a boat would leave the pier and go to the island. There would be people soliciting customers, saying that today’s island hopping is from the outside window, and tomorrow’s shopping is from the inside. But we have seen it before As a guide, go directly to the company with the yellow icon with the foot 👣 inside. There is also a boat to the island on the same day. 💰RM35 for one island, 💰RM45 for two islands. There are no items to buy at the window. Island entry fee 💰25 MYR (only needs to be paid once) 📍MANUKAN ISLAND🏝️ After arriving on the island, I changed into a jellyfish suit and went snorkeling by myself 🤿, but I don’t know how to swim 🏊‍♀️ I don’t dare to go far away, so I can only play close by. When there are many people, the water becomes very turbid and the view 👀 is not good. Saw some fish but couldn't see clearly. Resolutely find someone from the company to play the project and negotiate the price. Banana boat ride for two people + snorkeling 🤿 = 110 MYR per person (220 MYR in total) 📍Mamutik Island🏝️ Banana boat🍌 is relatively gentle and not too scary. Snorkeling for 30 minutes, the instructor will take you to swim far away, where you can see clown fish 🐠 Nemo ~ sea urchins ~ corals 🪸 ~ the instructor will help take photos 🤳 and record videos 📷. Girls remember to tie up their hair in order to be photogenic, otherwise they will lose their hair underwater. It's out of control 📍Shangri-La Hotel Reserve a seat in advance. The sofa 🛋️recliner near the front is 💰369 MYR per person, the high table 💰198 MYR per person, and the lawn area is first come, first served. It is a suitable place for taking pictures, but the taste ranks at the bottom of my list of Malay travel delicacies. It is really unpalatable... which makes my best friend lose interest in taking pictures 😂 Fortunately, the final checkout is not even close to low consumption and there is no compulsory consumption. DAY3️⃣Mangrove 📍Weston Mangrove🐒 After comparing several mangroves, I finally chose one that is relatively far away. It takes 2.5 hours to drive from the city. I chose 🚩adventure. I will pick you up at the hotel. The last 1/3 of the road is not repaired and it is a bit bumpy, but it is excellent value for money. value! I saw a lot of proboscis monkeys, 🐒 lined up for diving! There are also fights 🐵

Welcomed by courteous staff, they provided detailed explanations of the package, safety protocols, and guidelines, ensuring a clear understanding of the adventure ahead.
