Review of Kinabalu Park and Poring Hot Spring from Kota Kinabalu, with pricing, itinerary, transport, park tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Not to recommend at all, especially for the price I had to pay. The itinerary mentioned the canopy walkway at the Poring Hot Spring as one of the main visiting spot. This is however closed since the beginning of July. The tour-guide only mentioned that, when we arrived there. Further the hot springs are quite dilapidated.”
