Kota Kinabalu Bus Station (above)
First view of Mount Kinabalu as you leave the city along the coast road heading to the park. The buses are very comfortable and take around 4 hours. |
Getting from KK to Kinabalu ParkOrganising public transport to Kinabalu Park is easy from KK. Many bus companies runs services to the park entrance on their way to the eastern side of Sabah. The place to head to organise your bus is the KK bus station (pictured left). Go there a night or two before you wish to leave. You will be jumped on by touts as soon as you approach the station but they are friendly and will direct you to the right bus company for the Mount Kinabalu National Park. The Bus Station is pretty non descript place and is basically just the various bus stands. The costs are likely to change but at time of writing it was under US$5 for a single ticket from KK to the Park. The journey by bus takes approximately 3 to 4 hours and climbs steadily from sea level to 1600 metres and entrance to the Kinabalu National Park.
The buses are fairly comfortable and very cheap. Don't worry too much about which company you go with. They are all similar and will get you there.
