Few days trip to Kota Kinabalu

So I went to KK with my brothers. We wanted to go to Kundasang and island hopping.

Sorry, I got no picture in this post.

Luckily we are driving there, so going anywhere is also quite easy. But even if without car, you can pretty much travel anywhere in KK nowadays. Lots of people doing Grab and Uber, especially when there are a lot of discount or promocodes from Uber and Grab.

So we stay at nearby Jesselton Point, which is the place you get the package for island hopping (snorkeling, parasailing, zipline, jet ski, banana boat, flying fish, diving and so on). Don't straight pay for the amount displayed. Ask for discount because they usually will give discount.

Our accommodation is called The Bunk. It's cheap and located at good location. Many tourist and foreigner stays there because it is a cheap and strategic location. However, 2 nights of our stay, I got bitten by quite many bed bug. So we requested to checkout and get our refund back. So we moved to another cheap hotel nearby called Little Gaya Hotel. It's cheaper than many other hotel but it's clean and spacious, at least enough for us. Of course it is a lot more expensive than The Bunk, but I really rather pay extra than suffer.

The Bunk: RM 22 per bunk
Little Gaya Hotel: RM160 for 2 single beds, we add extra beds cost RM65. Total RM225 / 3, it will be RM75 each. 

For our island hopping, here's the price breakdown

Boat to go and back for 2 islands hopping : RM 35 
Parasailing: RM 70 each
Snorkeling equipment: RM 10 each 
Diving: RM 180 each 
Zipline: RM 68 each

Each of us take different combo.
Elder bro: Parasailing + Snorkeling. Total only RM 35+70+10 = 125
Me: Parasailing + Snorkeling + Zipline. Total only RM 35+70+10+68 = 193
Younger bro: Parasailing + Diving: Total only RM 35+70+180 = RM 285

There are 2 big shopping malls here called Suria Mall and Imago. If you have anything that you want to know more about this trip, just leave me a comment.
