KOTA KINABALU WETLAND CENTER
Formerly known as Kota Kinabalu City Bird Sanctuary, this site covers 24 hectares (60 acres) of mangrove forest, and is used primarily as a model wetland center for the purpose of conservation, education, recreation, tourism, and research. Kota Kinabalu Wetlands is managed by local NGO, Sabah Wetlands Conservation Society.
A 1.5km boardwalk brings you deep into the mangrove - a unique ecosystem where land meets the sea. A 45-minute stroll on the boardwalk is a pleasant experience where you can enjoy fresh air and tranquility while spotting interesting birds, plants, and wildlife.
To date, almost 80 species of birds have been identified at the sanctuary. Other mangrove wildlife that lives within Kota Kinabalu Wetlands includes monitor lizards, fiddler crabs and many more.
Entrance fee is MYR 15 per person.
