Rungus Longhouse - getting there

 

By Air

You can also take a flight from Kota Kinabalu to Kudat and catch a taxi from Kudat to the bavanggazo or maranjak longhouses. For flight schedule, log onto: Mas Wings

By Bus

It's possible to catch a bus going to Kudat and ask for a drop off on the mainroad where the turnoff to Tinaggol village is. The Kota Kinabalu Bus Terminal is located 10KM from the city centre at Inanamand leaves for towns in the north and north east of Sabah.

But from the main road to the Bavanggazo longhouse or Maranjak longhouse, it's another 2.5kms in and on a hot day and with luggage..it's not fun.

By Van/4WD

Chartered vehicles are stationed in front of the Indian Restaurant opposite the Health Clinic at Kampung Air in the city. But if you're in the town centre, close to the Padang Merdeka, there are 4WDs there for hire as well. Just look for an area close to Australia Place where there are rows of taxis and vans parked, waiting for passengers.

Four-wheel drives take up to 8 passengers and charge RM25.00 per passenger. Hiring a Saloon car carry up to 4 passengers and charge about RM200.00 return per vehicle.
