Creator's Key Takeaways

so far it has been nothing short of fantastic

I don't know if I would have fully recommended it unless you get a really good guide

the hike would be 45 minutes it was over 2 hours

it was a very long Excursion so most of it of course was taken up by the drive which was beautiful

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book excursions on the first buses to avoid delays
βœ“Request a headset for guided tours to hear the guide clearly

YouTube Video Description↓

It's day 9 on the Norwegian Spirit and today we are docking in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia! It's my first time visiting Malaysia and I have a shore excursion booked through NCL to the majestic Kinabalu National Park, a several hour bus ride from the ship. We drive way up the mountain through winding roads with incredible lush green rolling hills and mountains out of both sides of the bus. Part of this excursion was a hike, which I was hoping we'd get to do on our own time, but we instead followed our guide through a trail in the park up to the Kinabalu Orchid Garden, a beautiful place full of colorful and interesting plants, including one of the world's smallest orchids! Thanks so much for watching, leave a comment and let me know what you think about this excursion!
