Kota Kinabalu
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Then you could have a week or so on the beach in Kota Kinabalu - they have orang-utan sanctuaries there and turtle rehabilitation clinics. That could be a great experience.
- I thought it would be less interesting than spending more time in the Malaysian part of Borneo - Kota Kinabalu, Sandakan, Lahad Datu and going deep into the jungles (Danum Valley).
- You could consider Kota Kinabalu in Malaysian Borneo. Lovely beaches around, plus the possibility of climbing Mount Kinabalu.
- KK is pretty cool too and you have the amazing Mount KInabalu a few hours drive away. Rent a car and do you own thing.
- Kuching and Kota Kinabalu are the obvious highlights. Miri is a cool little city in between. No need for a group tour. You can fly to the cities and rent a car to the touristy locations. It's pretty relaxed on Borneo. Amazing mix of cult...
Cons
- Then fly to Kota Kinabalu for few days (the city itself is boring, 1-2 nights max).

Make sure you get out to the islands in KK, much nicer than town!
