The Rumah Terbalik (Which translates to Upside Down House) is the first of its kind in South East Asia and among the five upside-down structures in the world. The latest attraction within the compound of Rumah Terbalik is the 3D Wonders Museum. Experience Sabah in a fun and engaging way thanks to the special art that transforms images into immersive 3D environments. This 3D Wonders Museum is not only the largest 3D art exhibition in East Malaysia but also the first one that focuses on educating the public about the importance of protecting our biodiversity, ecosystem, and natural resources.
Pekan Nabalu is only 12 KM from Kinabalu Park, so many tourists stop here for toilet breaks or breakfast. Tourist buses love to prevent here due to the ample and spacious parking space in Nabalu. The 15-Meter watch tower of Nabalu is so prominent at the roadside that every motorist passing by will notice it. Nabalu town is one of the best spots to see Mt. Kinabalu and its adjacent landscape. Tour Guides also like bringing climbers here to preview the mountain before the climb.
Kinabalu Park has the world's largest variety of nepenthes, the carnivorous pitcher plant. The diversity of plant life in Kinabalu Park ranges over four climatic zones. Over 5,000 types of flowering plants including 1,200 species of orchids, 26 species of rhododendrons, over 80 species of fig trees as well as 60 species of oak and chestnut trees are found here. About 100 species of mammals and 326 species of birds are also known to reside in the sprawling park. The park covers 754 sq km (291 sq miles), with temperatures far cooler than on the coast. They ease to a gentle 20 C (68 F) at park headquarters and can drop to freezing point at the resthouse where climbers spend the night prior to their assault on the summit, so warm clothing is a must, as well as rainproof clothing for those climbing the mountain.
It is estimated that 75% of tropical rainforest animals spend most of their time in the forest canopy. The canopy layer is situated more than 20 meters above the ground and is a convenient natural hideout for many animals. The canopy walkway is the best way to observe such animals. Animals in the canopy appear less fearful of humans compared to when observed on the ground. The canopy walkway is essentially rope and steel cable suspension bridges that zig-zag through the crowns of the tallest strongest and long-lasting trees such as "Menggaris" (Kompassia excels) and 'Seraya' (Shorea sp).

Our coordinator understood our priority was to the Rafflesia in bloom. He checked several locations in the area and found one for us at Tambunan. He adjusted our itinerary to take us there to see the flower and still had ample time to see the floating mosque and the University including the Pink Mosque. Coordinator and driver could not have been more accommodating to our desires. We even visited the headhunter village.

Terrible terrible terrible no guide no one opens the door driver don’t talk no one tell use where we are going or where to buy tickets no service at all.
Thank you for your feedback, we are concerned about your booking, however after investigation, we found out that you didn't purchase from our organization, but from our freelance agent. We apologize and will look for that respective freelance sales agent to get more details about this matter.
The private tour was very disappointing. We booked a private tour of 12 people with this agent. First of all, I was not told that there won’t be any tour guide. When I found out, then I was told the “driver cum guide” will be able to look after us throughout the tour. Unfortunately, the driver himself seems pretty inexperienced. - We had trouble finding him at the port gate (cruise ship arrival port) and had to call the agent to locate him. - Then the van is not really in good condition. The seats are not comfortable and the air conditioning is not cool at all. Worst of all, a big spider popped up out of nowhere in one of the seats and my relatives was so scared - the first stop is the floating mosque and we had no clue as to how to purchase the tickets and the restrictions of the mosque. In the end, we didn’t do anything or enter the mosque. It was a complete waste of time. - The driver didn’t say much throughout the drive and dropped us to a neighbourhood mall for lunch without giving us any suggestions or assistance. Actually he didn’t talk much even one of us sat next to him to help with the itinerary - I complained to the company and they ultimately said they will help find us a guide - The driver drove us to the Mari Mari Village and we were basically on our own buying tickets and scrambling to make sure we know what we are doing - A guide did arrive in the end but we were almost at the end of the tour and we had to go back to the cruise ship - I paid quite a bit for this private tour for 12 of us but instead we actually hired a car with a driver. I searched online and it only cost less than 1,000 ringt to hire a car and driver - we are furious and felt so bad about the whole experience. - would not recommend anyone to use this agent at all.
