Kota Kinabalu → Kundasang: key facts

Getting from Kota Kinabalu Airport (BKI) to Kundasang takes about 1h 20min by car on an empty road (1h 20min – 1h 40min in heavy traffic) over 96 km via 22 and 1. Our private transfer costs €85 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €120 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits in the public arrivals hall of Terminal 1, after immigration, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Kundasang is a highland town about 96 km by road from the airport, a few kilometres past the Kinabalu Park entrance on the road to Ranau. The drive follows the same route through Inanam and Tamparuli and over the Crocker Range, with steep bends and slow trucks on the climb. Beyond the park gate the road descends into the Kundasang valley, where vegetable farms, roadside markets and guesthouses line the slopes. Fog and rain are common in the afternoon, so the last part can take longer.

The town sits in a cool valley with terraced vegetable farms and wide views of the southern face of Mount Kinabalu. Desa Dairy Farm at Mesilau, a short drive uphill, is a popular stop for its pastures and mountain views, and the Kundasang War Memorial remembers the prisoners of the Sandakan death marches. Many holiday homes and small resorts are spread along the hillside roads above the town centre, and the vegetable market by the main road is busy at weekends.

Public transport: There is no direct public transport from the airport to Kundasang. Buses and minivans towards Ranau, run by private operators from the Inanam bus terminal in Kota Kinabalu, stop in Kundasang.
