Mari Mari is a tourist village which introduce the old Sabah tribal cultural and living style to the tourists.
The tour takes about 2.5 hours. You get to see five different tribe houses and demonstrations of the local every-day activities and customs which I think it is fun for the kids: We tried malaysian tribal trampoline, cooked food in a bamboo stick, got a henna-like tattoo, we also tried a blowgun used by the headhunter tribe. The show ends with a bamboo tribal dance performance and a simple buffet snacks/meal with fried noodle, chicken etc.
The entrance fee is RM 70 if you go there on your own. It is quite far out from the city centre, it almost takes 40-45 minute one way from downtown KK.
If you join the local tour, it is about RM 140 per person, transport is included but it does not include the tip to the tour guide. Certain local tour agencies will probably provide you Chinese translation of the Mari Mari tour guide as he only speaks English. There are 3 cultural shows in a day - 0900hrs / 1400hrs / 1800 hours. I will not recommended the 1800 hours one as there will be a lot of mosquitoes as the village is located in a forest.
My 6 years old totally enjoyed & loved the experience, but I will not recommended it to families with younger kids as stroller is not an option there !! and bewared there are many tall bamboo ladders to climb as you visit the tribal houses which are built high up from the ground.
I am so happy the information helps. Hope you have a great time ! It is so much easier to get around in Sabah with your own driver and taxi, save you a lot of time to call & wait for the taxi.
