Reviews: Mari-Mari Cultural Village Half Day Shared Tour with Lunch
Guest User2026-06-07
It is not cheap, but worth for money.  For busy season that might require schedule adjustments, better make reservation directly to the facility. (it took us a while to confirm our reservation after kindly adjusted by Trip.com.) In spite of heavy crowd of guests, the operation was super organized and we were well attended and kept entertained all thru the 3 hours. We all (including 6yo/9yo kids) were so satisfied with this experience. The only issue we faced was the car parking. (won't be o problem as far as you use their pickup.) Please bring mosquito spray, or get a very good organic one at the sight s(RM 15).

Reviews: Mari Mari Cultural Village Half Day Tour | Immerse yourself in the cultural journey
Guest User2026-08-07
I made a reservation for Mari Mari Folk Village the day before. They sent me a confirmation by 6 PM on the day of arrival every day. I saw lizards, toured the village, tasted food and drinks, did some henna at the end, and watched a performance. It is a bit of a distance, but if you have plenty of time, it is worth visiting at least once.

We arrived here from the port on a cruise ship, and fortunately I had already made this booking because the recruiters in the port were annoying. Moreover, our guide was quite late, which made us doubt whether she would show up, but that turned out to be okay. There is not much to see here, but our guide made it a beautiful and educational day.

Reviews: Mari Mari Cultural Village Tour with Lunch or Hi-Tea
Guest User2025-03-23
Highly recommended!! (Make sure to bring mosquito repellent and bug bite cream) I applied for the reservation and received a message via KakaoTalk on the day of the booking. I booked the morning tour, but since it was fully booked, they recommended the afternoon time or another day. I really wanted to do the Mari-Mari tour, so I adjusted my schedule and changed it to the afternoon time on the same day. They picked us up in front of the hotel. Perhaps because we booked for 4 people, it was a private vehicle, and all four of us slept soundly during the ride. The Mari-Mari tour itself was fantastic. The tour itinerary is identical to the explanations given during the tour sessions. The tour was conducted in 4 groups, totaling about 12 people. They explained each tribe in English, and we were able to taste traditional liquor and snacks. You can also try henna, and the traditional performances were very exciting. I had seen traditional performances at Imago Mall and other places, but since I enjoyed it so thoroughly here, I didn't feel the need to watch any other shows. Finally, High Tea (dinner) was included, so we had it, but it was just okay. When I came out after dinner, the driver recognized me and came to meet me. Both the pickup and drop-off were from the hotel, but when I asked the driver to drop me off at KK Plaza, he readily agreed, so I was dropped off there. If this is your first trip to Kota Kinabalu, I highly recommend doing the Mari Mari Tour at least once in your life!! Aramaiti~!
