Getting from Tawau Airport (TWU) to Tawau Hills Park takes about 55 min by car on an empty road (55–70 min in heavy traffic) over 50 km via A5 and Jalan Kuhara. Our private transfer costs €60 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €85 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 the passenger terminal, after baggage reclaim (and immigration and customs on international flights), 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.
Tawau Hills Park is a protected rainforest managed by Sabah Parks in the hills north of Tawau, about 50 km by road from the airport. The route follows the highway into the outskirts of Tawau and then turns north along Jalan Kuhara and the park road, passing smallholdings and cocoa and oil palm estates as the land rises towards the forest. The last section is a narrow sealed road ending at the park headquarters.
The park headquarters has a car park, information point, simple accommodation and the start of the main trails. A short walk leads to Table Waterfall and a longer trail continues to Bukit Gelas Waterfall, while hot springs lie deeper in the forest. The peaks of the park, including Bombalai Hill, are old volcanoes, and the forest protects the water supply of Tawau. Early mornings are best for birds and cooler walking, and trails can be muddy after rain.
Public transport: There is no rail link in this part of Sabah, and the airport operator does not list a scheduled public bus from Tawau Airport; the trip to Tawau Hills Park is by road.
