Reviews: Mari-Mari Cultural Village Half Day Shared Tour with Lunch
Guest User2026-06-07
It is not cheap, but worth for money.
For busy season that might require schedule adjustments, better make reservation directly to the facility. (it took us a while to confirm our reservation after kindly adjusted by Trip.com.)
In spite of heavy crowd of guests, the operation was super organized and we were well attended and kept entertained all thru the 3 hours.
We all (including 6yo/9yo kids) were so satisfied with this experience.
The only issue we faced was the car parking. (won't be o problem as far as you use their pickup.)
Please bring mosquito spray, or get a very good organic one at the sight s(RM 15).★

Reviews: Mari Mari Cultural Village Half Day Tour | Immerse yourself in the cultural journey
Guest User2026-08-07
I made a reservation for Mari Mari Folk Village the day before. They sent me a confirmation by 6 PM on the day of arrival every day. I saw lizards, toured the village, tasted food and drinks, did some henna at the end, and watched a performance. It is a bit of a distance, but if you have plenty of time, it is worth visiting at least once.★

Reviews: 1-day tour to Sabah royal bay sky mirror mangrove | proboscis monkeys and fireflies/private small group optional
Guest User2026-10-08
It's a pity we didn't get to see the animals up close this trip, but seeing the fireflies at night was incredibly romantic!
Our guide, my cousin, gave us so many surprises! He was incredibly thoughtful and attentive, bringing a small speaker to play music the whole way, making the trip relaxed and enjoyable. At the beach, he even offered to take amazing photos for us; his photography skills are superb, and he knows exactly how to frame the shots. Overall, I highly recommend the experience!★

Reviews: Sabah Mount Kinabalu Dairy Farm Day Trip + ATV/Paragliding optional + Rafflesia roasted wild boar (optional, at your own expense)
Guest User2026-08-12
My day trip to Mount Kinabalu was the happiest day of my trip to Kota Kinabalu! I've seen many beautiful oceans around the world, but a tropical rainforest is a rare treat. It was a wonderful and enriching day. Our guide, Ali, was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. I was traveling alone, and he took great care of me throughout the entire trip! The Mount Kinabalu viewpoint was breathtaking, the ATV experience was thrilling, the search for Rafflesia flowers was fascinating, the fruit market was delicious, and the dairy farm was absolutely stunning—it felt like a Malaysian version of Xinjiang! The roasted pork on the way down the mountain was also amazing! A visit to Mount Kinabalu is a must when in Kota Kinabalu; with the ocean on one side and the rainforest on the other, it was an unforgettable experience.
