Ranau

Резервирахме за 4 възрастни и 4 деца – нашето семейство и семейството на приятели. В 7:30 сутринта ни взеха от хотела и оттам пътувахме 2,5 часа до наблюдателната площадка на връх Кинабалу. Пътят от град Кота Кинабалу до планината Кинабалу беше задръстен, но по пътя ни осигуриха гъвкавост за почивки за тоалетна на децата. Направихме много снимки на наблюдателната площадка, а оттам отидохме до фермата Деса 🐮. По пътя спряхме в местен магазин за плодове. Нашият екскурзовод Джеф ни показа непознати плодове и купихме по 1-2 от всеки, за да ги опитаме 🥭. Бяхме развълнувани от плодовете, за които никога не бяхме чували или виждали, като ябълково желе, авокадо сирене и плод змийска кожа 😆. Авокадо сиренето беше сладко, като задушена тиква, с текстура и вкус, които не приличаха на плод! Беше вкусно 😋. Оттам отидохме до фермата Деса. Тъй като е на височина около 1500 м, не беше прекалено горещо и беше комфортно! Беше слънчево и с малко облаци, така че успяхме да направим много страхотни снимки на фона на острите върхове на връх Кинабалу. Имаше ли слънчев ореол? ☀️ Джеф ни насочи безпроблемно към препоръчаните дейности, като сладолед и хранене на телета и кози. Джеф, който също е баща на четири деца, беше запознат със забавни видеоклипове в TikTok и децата се забавляваха много, правейки видеоклипове, подобни на тези, които гледаха със семейството си, и бяха много доволни 😁. След това обядвахме в близък ресторант и отидохме да наблюдаваме рафлезия 🌺. Притеснявахме се дали ще можем да я видим, тъй като цъфти само 5-7 дни в годината, но успяхме да видим две цъфтящи рафлезии ✌️. Имаше и пъпки и изсъхнали, така че имахме преживяване, което може да се види само там 👌. Наблизо имаше и какаови и дурианови дървета! Дурианът расте на толкова високи дървета 😳. Дотогава беше малко след 15:00 часа. Децата бяха уморени, затова решихме да се приберем и променихме маршрута. Сутрешното задръстване беше дълго 💦. По обратния път над върха на връх Кинабалу имаше странен облак. Джеф ни каза, че е рядкост 👌. По обратния път също беше малко натоварено, но успяхме да се върнем в хотела около 19:00 часа. Трябваше да се върнем в 17:30 часа, но пътят беше задръстен заради трафика и летния ваканционен сезон. Препоръчвам да носите малко повече пари в брой, тъй като на мястото с рафлезиите има комари и в някои ресторанти за обяд не приемат кредитни карти. Джеф, благодаря ти за забавната обиколка!! Беше много забавно с великолепните гледки и забавното обслужване. Препоръчвам 👌

Рой беше много любезен и отзивчив. Тъй като въженият мост е затворен през последните няколко месеца, той беше заменен с преход по пътека до водопада.

Just finished a one-day tour of Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, and I have to give a huge shoutout to our private guide, Xiaoyang (William)! 👍🏻🙋🏻‍♂️ I originally thought the long drive to and from the mountain would be exhausting and boring, but Xiaoyang was a fantastic conversationalist along the way. He shared a lot of local history and culture of Sabah, guided us on a short trek up the mountain, and even stopped to introduce us to unique plants we saw along the trail 🌴🍃. The content was engaging and fun, and time flew by. 🥹 We were super lucky to catch a glimpse of Mount Kinabalu and the Rafflesia! The guide truly put a lot of thought into arranging everything for us, ensuring the entire itinerary ran smoothly, and even treated us to Malaysian cuisine for lunch 🍱! He took such good care of us throughout the trip, constantly reminding everyone to stay safe. The biggest surprise was his photography skills 📸. His composition was top-notch, and he was incredibly patient, taking tons of gorgeous photos for us to keep as memories. There was non-stop laughter all day, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. 😆✨ Meeting Xiaoyang this time really added so much value to the whole trip! 🩷 If any of our friends go to Sabah in the future, or if we visit again ourselves, we will definitely ask him to be our guide again! 😍

The itinerary was very well organized, allowing us to visit several spots in one trip. The duration at each stop was just right, so it never felt rushed. Our first stop was the observation deck, where there were many fruit vendors nearby selling fresh and delicious fruits! The best part was realizing later in the city that the fruit here was actually the cheapest! The farm was also a lot of fun; for 20 Malaysian Ringgit, you could feed milk and forage to the animals, and the yogurt and milk ice cream were amazing! The fish spa was very entertaining, and the tour guide taught us feeding techniques. It was a bit scary at first. Lunch was better than expected, featuring vegetables, meat, and fruit. The tour included a complimentary ATV experience, allowing us to ride through the wilderness. We were very lucky to see a Rafflesia flower this time; although it had been blooming for five days and was starting to turn dark, there was still an unopened bud right next to it. On the way back, we had roasted wild boar and pulled tea. The roasted wild boar is highly recommended! The two of us shared a portion and were left wanting more. Overall, the value for money is extremely high, and I highly recommend it!

Itinerary: The length was just right. Safety: Very safe. Scenery: Diverse, and we even saw the Rafflesia flower, enjoyed fish spa by the lake, and tasted wild boar meat. It was very interesting and unforgettable. Facilities provided: ATV and skydiving safety measures were excellent, making it very fun and exciting. A fulfilling day with a packed schedule. Tour Guide: Xiao Mei was professional, attentive, and patient, following up throughout the trip and being very thoughtful. Lunch: Freshly cooked and delicious, with cold drinks and fresh fruit. Very good. The day before departure, all important information was sent via WhatsApp, which was very thoughtful. It was a great travel experience. The one-day Mount Kinabalu tour includes a variety of activities and is a must-do for anyone visiting Sabah. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing experience on this tour. The entire day was well-organised and felt personalised from start to finish. Our tour guide, Adeor, made the trip memorable and enjoyable. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared interesting insights throughout the journey. He also accommodated our request stop at the Upside Down House on the way (even though it wasn’t in the itinerary. The tour itself had so many great experiences packed in and the lunch was also absolutely delicious, with a nice view. Another thing we really appreciated was how thoughtful the team was. Adeor carried extra raincoats, umbrellas, and essentials in case of weather changes, which made us feel very well taken care of. Both the guide and the driver were extremely warm and friendly, and we ended up bonding over our shared love for Bollywood. Overall, a fantastic tour with beautiful sights, great food, and genuinely warm hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kota Kinabalu!

was a great experience. the guide was experienced and drove rather fast. paragliding -our wait was mere minutes. the guides try to fly as high as possible but it all depends on the wind. each of us has abt 15 min in the air. there was a ATV - 10 min free thrown in. we even made an additional stop to see Rafflesia ( rm30 paid to owner of land). the roast wild boar was interesting ( just get RM5 per pax). we got a free packet of milk at Desa and bought yoghurt. rennet to wear shoes, weather can be chilly and unpredictable.

We had a wonderful trip. We were so lucky to be the only participants so we ended up with a private tour. Our guide was helpful when getting in and out if the kajak and he also told us about the area along the way. Our driver Tam was also very talkative. He had a history lesson with my boyfriend the entire drive back to our hotel which was really funny. I would really recommend this trip if you want a beautiful sunset and a more active tour.

Nice stay with family, location is not too far from Kundasang town. There’s a restaurant available for breakfast and lunch inside the villa. Recommended 👍
