Tour guide Carson is very nice. He introduced the local customs and answered questions. Mount Kinabalu and the dairy farm are both very beautiful and great for taking photos!

Our tour guide Mr Handsome Jeff was very courteous and accommodative. We were lucky as our family were the only ones in the tour, so it became a private tour! He kept us very entertained with his stories of Sabah and its history. He also adjusted the timing as necessary in order for us to get the best view of Mount Kinabalu. The itinerary was relaxing but nice. I've always wanted to visit the "New Zealand" of Malaysia. No regrets.

It was a very happy day. The ice cream at the ranch was delicious. We were lucky enough to see Mount Kinabalu. The driver was also very responsible and took us all the way.

The canopy is very good for hiking. Mr guide is very friendly and helpful. He explained about the mountain, people and how to reach to the peak of Kinabalu. We not have a chance to hike around the park due to heavy rain but Kinabalu museum give some good information.

I love this hiking. The driver get us early and drive safety to the small town. We are lucky to have a good weather after the raining days before. Guide is helpful. He follow us on every steps. 1600m is not easy but we made it. A good lunch is a wonderful mark after hiking. Must try if you plan 1/2 day for hiking.

Our flight got delayed and they accommodated our requests to move the tour a day later. Elaine, our guide, was very well prepared with adhoc changes to timing and routes as the tour was during peak season yet covering the places mentioned in the tour. Mount Kinabalu was visible throughout the journey up.. 🤗 Kids had fun at rabbit farm feeding the rabbits. My husband and me had fun with the fishes at Marakau fish spa.. the fishes are so huge. Coffee milk at Desa Dairy is a must have 😍The road back was a different route to avoid jam and passes Gunung Alab- so misty and cooling… a wonderful albeit bumpy/treacherous ride home.. 🤗🥰

The handsome tour guide Jeff was very nice. He arrived at the door of the hotel on time. He was very talkative along the way and he also taught us a lot of stories about Sabah’s sacred mountain. The itinerary was planned very well and went very smoothly. We look forward to signing up again next time and seeing you again.
