Ranau

Vam apuntar-nos dues famílies, amb 4 adults i 4 nens en total. Ens van recollir a l'hotel a les 7:30 del matí i d'allà vam fer un trajecte de 2 hores i mitja fins al mirador del mont Kinabalu. Hi havia trànsit per les carreteres de la ciutat sortint de Kota Kinabalu cap al mont Kinabalu, però van ser molt flexibles i ens van parar a mig camí perquè els nens poguessin anar al bany. Vam fer moltes fotos al mirador i des d'allà vam anar cap a la granja Desa 🐮 Abans, vam fer una parada ràpida en una fruteria local. El nostre guia, en Jeff, ens va presentar fruites que no havíem vist mai i en vam comprar un o dos de cada per tastar-les 🥭 Estàvem molt emocionats amb fruites que no havíem sentit ni vist mai, com la poma gelea, l'alvocat formatge o la fruita de la pell de serp 😆 L'alvocat formatge tenia una textura i un gust que no semblaven de fruita, com de carbassa dolça al vapor! Boníssim 😋 Des d'allà vam anar a la granja Desa. Com que està en una zona alta a uns 1.500 metres d'altitud, no feia massa calor i s'estava molt bé! Feia un dia esplèndid amb ben a penes núvols, i vam poder fer moltes fotos fantàstiques amb les crestes esmolades del mont Kinabalu de fons. Fins i tot es veia un halo solar? ☀️ En Jeff ens va guiar molt bé per tot el que ens recomanava: menjar un gelat, donar de menjar als vedells i a les cabres, etc. En Jeff, que també és pare de 4 fills, controla molt de vídeos divertits de TikTok i ens ho vam passar d'allò més bé fent gravacions d'allò més divertides en família, els nens estava encantats i nosaltres supercontentos 😁 Després vam dinar en un restaurant proper i vam anar a veure la raflesia 🌺 Estàvem preocupats per si la podríem veure, ja que només floreix entre 5 i 7 dies a l'any, però vam poder veure dues raflesies en floració ✌️ També vam veure capolls i algunes de pansides, una experiència única que només es pot viure allà 👌 A prop hi havia arbres de cacau i de durià! No sabia pas que el durià creixia en un arbre tan alt 😳 Cap a les 3 passades de la tarda, com que els nens ja començaven a estar cansats, vam decidir tornar aviat i vam modificar l'itinerari per emprendre el camí de tornada. El trànsit del matí havia estat llarg 💦 De camí a casa, hi havia un núvol ben curiós penjat al cim del mont Kinabalu. En Jeff ens va dir que allò no era gens habitual 👌 La tornada també va ser una mica embussada, però vam aconseguir tornar a l'hotel cap a les 7 del vespre. Hèiem de tornar a les 5:30, però devia ser per culpa del trànsit i de l'època d'estiu que hi havia tanta acumulació de vehicles. Us recomanem portar una mica més d'efectiu, ja que necessitareu repel·lent d'insectes per a la zona de la raflesia i a algun restaurant no accepten targetes de crèdit. Jeff, moltes gràcies per aquesta excursió tan divertida‼️ Ens ho vam passar molt bé gràcies a les vistes grandioses i a la teva companyia tan atenta. Molt recomanable 👌

En Roy va ser molt amable i servicial. Com que la passarel·la elevada ha estat tancada durant els darrers mesos, es va substituir per una excursió per un sender fins a la cascada.

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.

Tot està molt ben organitzat i arranjat. Des de la recollida fins al final de la caminada. L'allotjament al parc de Kinabalu va ser fantàstic. La caminada va ser bastant dura, especialment la de les 2:30 de la matinada fins al cim. Cal pagar un suplement al guia i pel transport de tornada a l'allotjament, ja que es va excedir el temps estipulat.

Moltes gràcies per un viatge increïble al Mont Kinabalu. Fer la ruta Walk the Torq va ser, sens dubte, la millor part de l'ascens. Les vistes eren irreals i l'equipament em va semblar completament segur.Com a excursionista en solitari, em vaig sentir increïblement ben atès durant tot el temps. Un agraïment enorme als meus dos guies fantàstics! El meu guia de muntanya va ser fantàstic a l'hora de marcar-me el ritme fins al cim, i el meu guia de via ferrada va ser professional i em va fer sentir 100% segur a la paret de roca.Vaig tenir una experiència tan memorable que si tinc l'oportunitat de tornar, definitivament vull desafiar-me amb el circuit llarg de Low's Peak la propera vegada. 💪🏻
