Poring Hot Springs is part of Kinabalu Park but lies on its eastern side, about 130 km by road from the airport. The route crosses the Crocker Range on the road to Ranau, passes the park headquarters and Kundasang, drops down to Ranau town and then turns north on a smaller road through farmland and villages to Poring. The mountain section between Tamparuli and Kundasang is the slowest part, with sharp bends and frequent rain.
Poring lies much lower than the park headquarters and is warm and humid, surrounded by lowland rainforest. The site has open-air pools and bath tubs fed by sulphur springs, a canopy walkway high in the trees and trails to the Langanan and Kipungit waterfalls. Lodges and campsites inside the park area allow an overnight stay, and Ranau town with shops and restaurants is a short drive south.
Public transport: There is no direct public transport from the airport to Poring Hot Springs. Buses and minivans from Kota Kinabalu reach Ranau, and the last stretch north to Poring is a local road without a regular official service.
