Echoes of Sabah: My Journey Through Mari Mari

Mari Mari Cultural Village: A Must-See Experience in Kota Kinabalu Step into the heart of Sabah’s rich heritage at Mari Mari Cultural Village, an immersive destination that brings indigenous traditions to life. Gain firsthand insight into the customs of various native tribes through engaging demonstrations—from blowpipe dart-shooting and bamboo fire-starting to intricate traditional tattooing and thrilling jumps on a giant "Lansaran" trampoline. Visitors are also treated to authentic Sabahan delicacies and drinks served in charming bamboo cups. The tour wraps up with a spirited cultural dance performance that’s sure to leave a lasting impression. Tips for Your Visit 📝 📍 Located about 45 minutes from Kota Kinabalu, the village is best reached via a private tour with hotel transfer for maximum convenience. 🍽️ Multiple package options are available, some including meals and transfers, with pricing comparable to group tours. 🕒 Tours operate daily in two sessions: 9 AM–1 PM or 2 PM–5 PM. For a quieter experience, consider booking the afternoon slot. #travel #kotakinbalu #sabahtravel
