Stop At: Mari Mari Cultural Village, Kota Kinabalu Malaysia
Our tour guide will pick up you at 9 am and start your cultural tour to Mari-Mari Village.
Upon arrival, you will be greeted as preparation for you time-travelling into prehistoric Borneo; briefing on the Village Rules is a must before you enter. You will be greeted by the Chief and go through a custom Welcome Ceremony. Then you may walk through the suspension bridge to enter Mari-Mari. This is combination of five ethnics such as Dusun, Rungus, Murut, Bajau and Lundayeh. Every ethnic has their own exotic stories and traditional dance as well as their historical. Lunch will be served inside Mari-Mari itself. After lunch, it is time to bid farewell to the villagers and depart into the 21st century, as we transfer you to your respective back to hotel.

This tour had highs and lows. Starting with the lows: The transport to the village was disappointing. The driver showed up late and did not communicate anything in advance. The car was far from ideal for a family of for, the 3 in the back really had to squeeze to fit. And on the way back we made a stop at a gas station even though the driver had approx 3 hours to sort that while we were in the village. The high was the village tour itself that I would highly recommend. Very friendly guide and interesting tour. My recommendation would be to book a Grab to the village and buy the tickets there. The drive in this tour had very little value add.Mari Mari cultural centre was excellent. Entertainment and meal suburb. Tour guide the best. Our Driver 1 out of 10.

Mari Mari cultural centre was excellent. Entertainment and meal suburb. Tour guide the best. Our Driver 1 out of 10. He was late then we detoured for him to get something to eat. We asked if we would be going home the same road if so could we be dropped at the beach. He said yes then drove home a different road. He then took us to the wrong accommodation and huffed when advised it was the wrong place. He was constantly getting text messages and we think he was arguing with his girlfriend. Very bad customer service.Interesting experience of historic tribal Borneo, well organised and friendly staff and easy to get to from KK

We were prepared to be picked up but the tour van got into an auto accident before it got to us. No one was hurt, however, that understandably delayed the tour until the next day. Mari-Mari Cultural Village is just outside Kota Kinabalu so the drive there seemed relatively short (compared to Kinabalu Park). Unlike other tours our driver was not the tour guide. The tour guide was an older gentleman knowledgeable about the five tribes of Sabah and brought us through the different tribal houses. There is a built-in native trampoline we jumped on. There were demonstrations of cooking and alcohol making with delicious samples for everyone, and also bark cloth making for clothes. This tour does not include blow pipe making or demonstration. The dancing and performance afterwards was by the same people who did the cooking and bark cloth making and met us at the village gate, and you could join a part of it. We all enjoyed lunch afterward. I recommend you see it and you will learn a lot.
