Biking Tour – Explore the Countryside of Sabah, Malaysia
Join a biking day tour during your holiday in Kota Kinabalu and go cycling in the countryside of Sabah. During your biking tour, you will cycle through rural areas, across hanging bridges and by jungle plantation. During your biking tour, you will follow a cycling route near Tuaran. Tuaran is a market town that lies along the foothills and coastal plains below Mount Kinabalu. Tuaran is approximately an hour drive north of Kota Kinabalu city centre.
The Tuaran cycling route is a ~22km bike tour that takes you through the heartland of the Dusun people – small riverside villages, jungle plantations and onto the coastal plain where we will stop for lunch in Tuaran town close to the Chinese pagoda. The biking terrain is a mix of sealed and gravel roads with minimal climbing and some gentle descents. Almost half of the cycling ride will be on dirt roads which sometimes can be rough. For the rest of the bike ride, you will travel on small village roads with very little traffic. There are three hanging bridges to cross during the ride which add an interesting addition to the bike ride tour. For safety, a support vehicle is nearby at all times.
