Highlights:

  • Explore vibrant Gaya Street Market with your local guide
  • Taste traditional snacks

Explore the vibrant atmosphere of Gaya Street Weekend Market, nestled in the heart of the city centre, on this walking tour. Every weekend, farmers and vendors from various tribes and regions of Sabah come together to showcase and sell an array of local goods and delicacies. The entire Gaya Street is closed to traffic so visitors and locals alike can walk freely and enjoy everything the market has to offer.

During our tour we have the chance to indulge in some of the region's signature snacks, including the flavourful Rojak (local fruit salad) and crispy fried carrot cake, as well as exploring its diverse offerings, from arts and crafts, batik sarongs, footwear, fruits and flowers, antiques and souvenirs. After exploring the market, we conclude our culinary journey at a traditional Chinese restaurant, savouring a local meal before returning to our hotel.
