Practicalities
- Getting there: The closest town is Tawau which has an airport. From the airport to Tawau Hills Park takes about 1 hour by car or taxi (or 30 minutes from Tawau itself). Public transport is poor or non-existent. There is also an express boat from Tarakan (Indonesia) to Tawau 3 or 4 times a week taking around 4-5 hours. In 2022, it leaves at 11am and costs Rp500,000 one-way.
- Permits: RM3 entrance fee for Malaysians (Rm10 for foreigners). Open at 8am until 4.30pm.
- Water sources: Currently unknown

I’m almost certainly going to hike this in March 2020. Please get in touch if you want to join….
For a guide, call a forest ranger at the park there. Johan +60171858286 or Alfonso +60138722354. Likely to be around RM80 a day for their services.
