Location / How to get here

The Closest town to our Conservation Centre is at Jetty Lama Kastam, Kuala Abai. which is located at Kota Belud (District in Sabah) it is accessible by land from cities such as Kota Kinabalu.

๐Ÿš Buses can be taken to Kota Belud (Drop off at Kota Belud bus station) from Kota Kinabalu bus station (infront of Dreamtel Hotel). You have to look for the Kota Belud Sign/Ask for the Kota Belud bus from the people around the bus station. The sign boards will indicate where the bus will take you, some sign boards might say Keningau, Kudat, Kota Marudu, etc. But the sign you are looking for is to Kota Belud. The Price of the bus will be between RM 20-30/person.

โš ๏ธDo not, and I repeat, DO NOT take a Taxi. They might charge you for an insane price which is unreasonable. Furthermore, there is a chance they will scam you as well. Take a bus, it's better. (Advice from a local)

โš ๏ธIf you really need a private transport, contact us. We got'chu.

๐Ÿš—Great! You are now at Kota Belud bus station. Now, you have to take a Maxim/GRAB car (A local transportation app you can download from the Play Store) to Jetty Kastam Lama. The price for the ride will vary depending on the time at which you arrive.

๐Ÿ›ถOnce you have arrived to Kuala Abai Beach, Our team will pick you up and give you a boat ride to our Conservation Centre which is located at Usukan Island. The boat fee will be USD $8.00 only.
