How Do I Get to Borneo Anthro Hub?

Kota Kinabalu sits on the northwest coast of Malaysian Borneo, well-served by air from across Asia:

• Flying: Kota Kinabalu International Airport (BKI) is located about 25 minutes from the Horizon Hotel in the city centre. Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia, and several regional carriers operate direct flights from Kuala Lumpur (KUL, roughly 2.5 hours), Singapore (SIN, roughly 2.5 hours), and other hubs including Hong Kong (HKG), Seoul (ICN), and Taipei (TPE).
• From the Airport: Taxis and Grab (the regional rideshare app) are readily available at BKI arrivals. The ride to the city centre costs approximately 30-40 MYR. Airport buses also run to the city but are less frequent.
• Getting Around KK: Kota Kinabalu is a compact city. The Horizon Hotel, convention venue, and waterfront area are walkable. Grab is the most reliable option for trips further out, including to beaches, islands, or the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre (a popular side trip in Sandakan, reachable by a short domestic flight or 6-hour drive).

Where Should I Stay for Borneo Anthro Hub?

• Horizon Hotel: The convention venue is centrally located in Kota Kinabalu. Staying at the host hotel keeps attendees close to all programming.
• Kota Kinabalu City Center: The city has a wide range of hotels, hostels, and guesthouses at competitive tropical rates, many within walking distance of the Horizon Hotel.
