From Kota Kinabalu, it's a 15 minutes journey on speed boat. Transportation + taxes will cost around RM26-30 per adult.
The jetty:
There are a few other islands around this island. The shore is very clean and water soooo clear... takbley tahan beb!
Arrival!
Some Photos: Chalets are available. Plus equipments for snorkeling, swimin and diving are also available for rent.
Tell me.... Ini Akuarium ke apa? Huhuh.. again... takbley tahan lorrr....
These kids were swimmin n diving away like they belonged to the sea... i think they are locals... amazed giler tengok mereka selam begitu sahaja... envy! :D and dgn ramah mesra nya... striking a pose... can see the pack of fish no? geram menggigit jari. Oh yaa... btw... if u don't want to be surrounded by these fishiokia, there are other spots as well... dip in n swim all u want...
Since the water is so clear... and in the midst of excitement... I forgot that it's salty (ingat swimmin pool ka apa)... and swallowed a handsome lot of saltiness... gulp... sungguh enak dimakan begituu sajaa...Kinabalu Park.... where the Mount Kinabalu lies...
Family trip with a toddler and a kiddo... of cos we didnt hike or climb da mountain aar... For sightseeing purpose, there's botanical garden and some tourist information outlets. We walked to the botanical garden only to decide not to go in the garden coz we had to hike further... just moved on with the sopan walkway back to the entrance. Trail/walkway yang sopan adalah seperti ini:
I kept me self occupied with da floras...
The map showing ways around the park. Looks like someone's trying to teach me how to read the map from upside down.... hohohoho....
Kundasang
Fresh vege n fruits.
Eureka! I found this! Ze fruit you can't find in Peninsula. It's known as Tarap... Not Durian or Cempedak mahupun Nangka.. its Tarap... only in Sabah, Sarawak and some say Kalimantan.
Jeng jeng Jeng.... inilah Tarap! upclose n personal:
We couldnt see the mountain earlier at the park as it was foggy. By the time fogs cleared, we were on our way back from Kundasang. We were lucky we caught the sight of this highest mountain in Malaysia. Maka... we stopped by pekan mabalu, which has an observation deck built to observe this: Marbeles... cantik... but ayoyooo.. tingggi bah... macam mana mau daki ini??
Tak mampu daki takpa... janji ada gaya....
Lots of blink-blings... I lykee! I am crazy about these stuff... so apa lagik! Yipppie.. aku heppi...
Ohyaaaaaaaa...
Tak mampu daki takpa... janji ada gaya....
There r some other places we visited / dropped by... this is kinda random trip... Rent a car and start the engine... vrrr.vrrr vrrroomm... Family trip... but we arrived in different flights, with 30minutes difference. Sungguh laaa kreatip kan...
Yang tak tahan tu.... dengan konfidennya... my sis and I beli la tiket air asia dan MAS campur-campur, thinking we would arrive and depart from the same place... bila dah landing, rupa-rupanya K.K juga ada 2 airport... OMG...haha...
departure... I travelled back alone with the Kotak berisi Ikan-ikan, ketam, sotong yang fresh. Sangat murah dan fresh weh, no pixxies coz I didnt follow em to the wet market... After sending them to the 2-hours-earlier-than-mine flight, went back to Pasar K.K to get some last minutes items... ehehe... before heading back to terminal Mas with the I-so-hope-this-thing-tak-terbocor kotak.
Dun worry fellas... I survived the journey :P~
so dat explains why Omyn saw my mom with the kiddos and the rest, but not me... Yaa... just too cute to be true, kan....
Coming back home...
So... what did I get for me selff:

Buah Tarap... kitorg belik untuk cubajaya:
Ooooo..... beginikah rupa beliau.... tapi rasa buah ini sedang-sedang aja dong. Aku penasaran (teringin) durian lepas makan Tarap... I desperately needed to feast on the King of fruitz (kalo mat salleh mesti kata Killer of fruits) Hahahhaa...
Maka... just now... beli ini kat Kuala Perlis... Yes, was in Perlis tadi.. after smalam berada di Sabah, Selangor dan Penang dalam masa sehari... aku rasa aku sudah lalok perjalanan weh!
Jadi Murid-murid....

I memang rase nak cakap n tny , auntie ni mak azleena ker?tapi tak keluar kate2 dr mulut. haha...n i cube2 gak dengar slang ur mum tu, takdak la pulak bunyi dr penang..isk2..if not sure dah leh sembang2 pjg..haha..neways, mmg best kan sabah. i din go to manukan island, went to mamutik island instead rite after we arrived that sat. and correction for u, it's Pekan. Nabalu, not Mabalu..hehe..oo..nasib u ade amik gamba buah tarap tu...coz mase I hiking to Mnt Kinabalu, one local chinese guy, recommend me to go to kundasang n look for that buah.tp we all tak jadi g kundasang coz cam rase taknak bli ape2..haha..n we went to Tuaran for Croc Park instead. Ade lagi satu makanan pelik sabah, it's Bambangan. it's some sort of jeruk like thingy makan ngan sambal. kalo kite, sambal tu campur ngan mangga kan, derang ni campur ngan buah bambangan ni la..hehe..sabah mmg best. I'll go back there again for Sepilok n Sipadan.hehe

Omyn
hihihi.. memang la slang mak i tak bunyi penang... mother tounge bukan bahasa melayu maaa :P~ Laaa.. kalau u tegur bleh dah bercerita ceriti ngan mak i earlier.. kihkihkih... so lenkali if u rasa mcm someone's mom je, u tegur je la :D

ainaa yg comel! map terbalik plak :P
bestnya trip you!!! tarap tu, the flesh looks like cempedak, rasa sama tak?
BB aca, BB fazz... teruja kan :D Jalan dia agak mudah sekitar KK tu.. sbb kitorg sewa kete, so lepas pusing2 tu mcm agak familiar lah... but kalu nak pi pulau kena plan lagi awal, call dan book siap2 lagi baik... mcm kitorg bedal jek pergi terus.. ehehhe... tp pergi terus, bleh la kautim2 minta kurang sikit kan :D so.. bila??? ehehhheee
Tarap tu.. ha ah.. ala2 cam cempedak.. tapi yang kitorg beli ni tak semanis chempedak... but tak sure lak.. sbb beli sebijik je, maybe ada yang manis ada yang tak brapa manis... but overall, menarik untuk dicoba... :D:D
I also went to Kundasang and Pulau Manukan back in year 1995. Back then, there wasn't much development yet but then it was still one of the most memorable trip ever. The sight of the sea, the Mount Kinabalu, the cooling atmosphere... just beautiful. Thanks for sharing the pics, bring back old memories.
My pleasure jessie ;-)
But lesser development, must have been more refreshing, pollution free n all :D
