Rasidin, one of the best drivers we've ever met. Very efficient service overall. We were right on time for the itinerary that we planned for. Also, Rasidin stepped in and helped us out with ticketing issue that we were facing on one of our stops. He was quite flexible as well with our timing and allowed us to eat in the van as long as it was not messy! For this trip, we managed to visit the Borneo Ant House, Tuaran Crocodile Farm, Bungalio Hill Glass Bridge at Tamparuli & Hillside Kokol Cafe. The van was comfortable and clean. We also had several shopping, and we were allowed to keep it in the van while we visit the attraction sites, so we did not have to keep bringing heavy stuffs! Our father was chatty but Rasidin was very friendly and entertained us very well despite the long trip. Our family enjoyed this service. Highly recommended!

There were really many fireflies that day. In addition to the fireflies, we also watched the golden monkeys. The overall experience was good. The boatman would stop at the mangroves on both sides for us to enjoy it carefully.
