Kota Kinabalu Mangroves

Experiencing Nature in the City

Kota Kinabalu Wetland is a recognised Ramsar site and hidden green sanctuary right in the heart of the city.

Home to mangroves, migratory birds, reptiles and rare plants found nowhere else in Malaysia, it’s where nature and city life meet.

Wander the boardwalks, spot wildlife in their natural habitat, and discover why this living ecosystem is one of Kota Kinabalu’s most treasured places.

Step into a world with over 90 bird species, 30 mangrove varieties, and countless aquatic creatures, KK Wetland is more than a safe haven, it’s nature’s classroom and the city’s green lung just minutes from Kota Kinabalu’s city centre.
