MALAYSIAN BORNEO FIRST IMPRESSIONS! (we couldn't believe this place!!!) 📍: Kota Kinabalu, Sabah 🇲🇾
ฝัง

- We didn't know what to expect from Malaysian Borneo, but for sure we didn't know it would be like this! Kota Kinabalu was a surprise. It's hard to explain this place, but you'll see exactly what we mean after watching the video.
We hope you enjoy this Kota Kinabalu, Sabah video :) And this is just the beginning of our adventures in Malaysian Borneo! We can't wait to share more with you!
★ MORE INFO ABOUT THE FOUR-ISLAND TOUR:
1. What we did: we went to the Sutera Marina and basically talked to the only operator in the marina. They have all the tours and prices displayed, and even though it was slightly more expensive than other options, it was pretty painless and we had a great experience! We recommend this option :)
2. Another option (this was plan B for us): Go to Jesselton Point Jetty and try to negotiate a price. It will be cheaper than what we paid ($15 p/p), but there will be A LOT of different operators to choose from. This info was shared to us by a local and also from the guy at the beginning of the video.
In the end, we decided it was ok to pay a higher price because we were already there and it was the right choice for us :) but there are other options.
Anyways, if you have questions, let us know. We're always happy to help. Thank you so much for watching our videos. We will see you in the next video from Kundasang 🇲🇾

One of the most memorable stops of our entire Malaysia adventure! Thanks for watching guys ❤🇲🇾
did you go to the hot spring pool at ranau hot spring?
As a Sabahan, I'm glad that you guys enjoy my home town..
We really did ❤️ One of our favorite sunsets!
@@waysoftheworld_thats must be tg.aru.. but you know.. there also a nice sunset view at sutera habour and there been no many people there..😍
You guys, we didn't even do justice to these beaches. We wish we would have had more time to see more of these beautiful islands. IT WAS PARADISE! 😍
Thank you for visiting Malaysia and sharing our culture and food with the world. I hope that you both enjoy and will bring back fond memories during your time in Malaysia. You two are a beautiful couple😍❤
We can't even begin to describe how much Malaysia means to us ❤️ Thanks so much for the kind words ✨ We can't wait to come back!! 🇲🇾
Why I like holidaying in Borneo islands and mountains is that everyone is friendly and there's no one who hard sells anything. I prefer less stressful traveling. Everyone's chill and lovely.
That's exactly how it is... a very peaceful, beautiful and special place! ❤️
We do not disturb tourists. Not our culture. Touts or hard selling is the sign of poor countries.
Beautiful kK in sabha
Crazy introduction to Sabah & Malaysian Borneo.... totally not what we expected!!! Such a fun city to explore 😎
I love to see how you both respect the culture and religion while visiting the floating mosque and just enjoying the place and environment. Not to mention, you guys both look cute in those clothing as well! Welcome to Sabah! :D
Thanks so much! We love learning about other cultures, and of course it's important to respect ❤️ It was such a great experience and thanks for the compliment! We felt pretty good actually 🥰

This is about the natural beauty of Sabah.
What does visiting Sabah have anything to do with your religion /being a Muslim????
Kadazans are generally Catholics by the way .

Welcome to Borneo and I hope you guys enjoy the northern part of borneo. Yes in certain places the dress code is strict especially if you are at the place of worship like a Mosque.

Hi Aimara & G, nice video and thank you for showing us around in KK Sabah .. Sabah is one of underrated places in Malaysia, a hidden gem that need to explore and tbh it has alot nice things to offer.

I am really impressed both of you wearing the Muslim without much fuss and I like to say both of you look stunning . Do enjoy your visit to Sabah . There is so much more place to explore in Malaysia
Of course! We respect other cultures :) The way we see it, is that if we're going somewhere where they have different rules or beliefs, we have to respect it and embrace it. And actually, we felt pretty good :) And yes, we had a great time in Sabah! We have to go back to Malaysia to see more of it 😍
Hi guys. Nice to see y'all having fun in KK.

Great Content. Must Visit Mari Mari Cultural Village to experience the 5 main tribes of Sabah's Culture and traditional activities.
Oh wow that sounds amazing!! Thanks so much for sending us recs :) We are taking note of this for next time. We do have to be back. There's so much to see and learn in Malaysia 😍
Another town you guys must visit is Kota Belud, home of the Bajau tribe, aka "the cowboys of the east." You also get to enjoy the best & full view of Mt Kinabalu from here. Enjoy the rest of your stay in Sabah! TQ for appreciating our part of Borneo 🙌😊
Thanks so much for sending us recs!! We have to go back to Borneo. We didn't give ourselves enough time there 🙈
So glad you loved KK!!
We had the best time!!!
Thank you for visiting Malaysia sabah. 😃😃👍👍
Our pleasure! Can't wait to be back! ❤️
1:10 The boat fare from Sutera Harbour Marina Jetty is more expensive as it is located in a posh and upscale area 😁 The boat operator here offers an exceptional standard of service and they have better boats.
The less expensive alternative would be to take a boat from Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal. There are many boat operators there offering fares at competitive prices, more options to choose from.
Welcome to Sabah 🥰🎉
hahaha yes, we figured we payed a premium considering where we were, but it was a very nice experience! :) Thanks so much for sharing this info. I'm sure other tourists will find it useful 🙏🏼 PS: we loved Sabah! 😍
@Ways of the World be careful in other departure point one tourist met refugees at the other jetty at kk. She did not know and negotiated rm 600 to travel to the islands near kk. Not an authorised departure point. It was recorded on the vlog. These filipino refugees or sea gypsies do not have permits to go to these islands in the first place !!!. They are fishermen. Tourists cannot differentiate a local sabahan and sea gypsies but we can. You did the right thing.
nice content couples🥰😊..thank you for visiting our beautiful sabah, enjoy you great holiday here and please do visit kundasang and mount kinabalu you be amazed there be like no need to go to switz😄
Welcome to Sabah, we are glad you came to the state of Sabah😊. Enjoy for you☺
We had the best time! ❤️
The islands, beaches and reefs off KK aren't the absolute best, but it's amazing what you can see so close to a city of 250K people. I miss Sabah so much!
Beautiful sunset right there ❤
It was so special, the whole setting was magical ✨
Hi. Great video. Thank you.
Happy to hear you liked it Hyde :) Hope you have a great weekend!!
Thanks visiting my hometown .. cheers
Thank you for watching!! ❤️ We loved KK!
Thank you for presenting our kota kinabalu city to the world. It is a very good video presentations from you both.
The next time you visit kota kinabalu, come in the month of may or towards the end of the month.
It is the harvest festival or 'pesta kaamatan' celebration, showcasing the beautiful ethnic celebration in around the kota kinabalu city & penampang.
Thank you for welcoming us ❤️ This sounds like something we would absolutely love. Next time we'll time it :)
glad you happy and enjoy my home town.
We really did ❤️
