Located in Tamparuli about an hour’s drive from Kota Kinabalu City, the beautiful St. Veronica’s Hill towers over the rustic Tamparuli town and surrounding villages at 278 meters above sea level. The locals of Sabah call it Bukit Perahu, which means “Hill Boat” in Malay, because of an inverted boat-shaped rock that sits near the summit’s clearing.
St. Veronica’s Hill offers a leisure trek up to the peak on a rocky terrain. While the majority of the trail leads through trees and bushes, occasional shrub openings towards the top afford a splendid bird’s eye view.
In the early morning, a sunrise hike will be rewarded with a spectacular view of Mount Kinabalu overlooking the misty low lands - giving you a true “Top of the World” experience!
A combination of scenic views, exercise, and a little bit of mystery thrown together, this hill catches the fancy of both hiking enthusiasts and leisure explorers alike.

A rugged hiking trail with rocky terrain with concrete steps that leads to the peak at 278m above sea level. The age range of my group of ladies is 64 to 75 years old. We made it to the top at 6:15 am after trekking almost 1 hour. Viewing the sunset was worth what feels like climbing of a million steps. As advised by guide the use of hiking poles defiantly enabled us to have smoother ascend and decend.
Our guide from Amazing Borneo was very patient and helpful especially towards the older members of our group.

I was travelling alone and there wasn’t much tour that was open for join in however thanks to Reza from Sabah Travel who managed to arrange for me a private tour. I am so thankful she took the effort to help me with the arrangement as it made my trip complete.
I basically just left my whole trip in her capable hands. She was recommending me all kinds of activities at the same time understanding my limitations and age.
In the end, I get to experience it all thanks to Reza. River, Hike, Beach and Paragliding. I can’t thank her enough!.
I got Neil as my private guide. He is so professional and knowledgeable and entertaining. I had so much fun! Oh did I mentioned he is extremely handsome too!
Also it was my first time hiking in the dark! I never felt safer cause I know I was in good hands.
It was so worth it! The view from St. Veronica is beyond words.
Oh Neil also took to me try this authentic Tuaran mee and he gave me a whole history of it. I love it!
I strongly recommend Amazing Borneo for all your travel arrangements to Sabah.
They have the best staff and they are all so attentive!
With staff like Reza and Neil, they can run the whole show. Reza will arrange and Neil will tour it! Best combo ever!

This hike is a bit steeper and harder than we originally thought it would be but so worth it. It was lovely seeing all the crosses on the way up and our tour guide Richard was very informative. We missed out on the sunrise due to mist coming and going but the scenery was still beautiful. Breakfast afterwards was wonderful with the locally home made noodles and delicious Sabah coffee.
I have to say that Amazing Borneo tours are just so well organised and the tour guides they have are very well informed and friendly. We had Andrew in Sarawak and Tan and Richard in Saba, these guys made the whole experiences so much better. We also had a lot of help from the Australian team giving us advice before we left, couldn't ask for a better organised holiday!
