Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, head towards the town of Ranau, which is approximately 90 km from Kota Kinabalu. From Kota Kinabalu, take the E29 highway to the south towards Tuaran and then follow the signs for Ranau. Once in Ranau, continue on the road until you see the signs for Kinabalu Park. The entrance to Kinabalu Park Headquarters is about 30 minutes from Ranau. Please note that there is an entry fee of RM 10 for Malaysian citizens and a nominal fee for foreign tourists. Make sure to keep your vehicle fueled, as there are limited petrol stations along the way.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, take a bus from Kota Kinabalu to Ranau. Buses depart from the Inanam Bus Terminal or the Kota Kinabalu Bus Terminal and take about 2-3 hours to reach Ranau. Upon arrival at the Ranau bus terminal, you can take a taxi or a local minivan (often referred to as 'bas mini') to Kinabalu Park Headquarters, which is roughly 30 minutes away. Be sure to confirm the fare with the driver before departing. The entry fee to Kinabalu Park is RM 10 for Malaysian citizens.

• Taxi or Ride-Sharing

  If you prefer a more direct route, you can hire a taxi or use a ride-sharing service like Grab from Kota Kinabalu. This option is more expensive but provides convenience, taking you directly to Kinabalu Park Headquarters. The journey will take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours depending on traffic, and the fare can range from RM 150 to RM 200. Remember to confirm the price with your driver beforehand, and be prepared to pay the entrance fee of RM 10 upon arrival.
