Our Tour Guide Jerry was punctual with good vibes throughout our tour. Although I'm the only one who speaks English and most of the joiners were Chinese, he also explained in English so that I will be able to understand and makes sure that all is good. I had a so much fun and enjoyed the tour. He's also willing to take a picture and video on you. So going as solo joiner would not be difficulty ❤️ Highly recommended for Tourguide Jerry's service! Thank you.

Ian, our tour guide, was very informative, cool and accommodating. He always makes sure you are not felt alone in the group. He’ll make you feel you are belong. He constantly giving us the history of the place. This tour is a MUST be on your list tour. Getting away from the city and feeling the cool weather. The Mount Kota was breathtaking. The hanging bridge was great and also the Desa Dairy Farm. We wanted to take the cafe in Desa Farm but we didn’t have much time.

Very nice tour, managed to see a lot of cows at Desa cattle farm and there’s a free small milk carton included. Had a heartwarming meal and were lucky enough to see the rafflesia and different rare species of orchid blooming. A lot of nice scenery from the top of the mountain. The tour guide Michael is also very knowledgeable and passionate about the different plant species on the mountain, especially the orchids. Good and relaxing day trip to have as the bus will pick up from the hotel and return back to the city.

The tour guide and driver were very considerate, perfectly taking into account the Lunar New Year's traffic conditions and flexibly adjusting the itinerary to keep travel time to a minimum. The outbound and return journeys were each about two hours, and the traffic did not affect everyone's mood for fun at all. The ATV off-road experience was very exciting and fun, and both adults and children enjoyed it. After arriving at the cattle farm, the cheese ice cream at the cattle farm was absolutely delicious! The overall feeling is that the timing, location, and people were all perfect, and everything was absolutely ideal.

This tour allowed us to fully enjoy the nature around Mount Kinabalu. We were worried about seeing a Rafflesia, but fortunately, during the tour, we received information that there were two Rafflesia flowers blooming, and our guide took us to see them. We were able to see both beautifully bloomed flowers and those that were starting to wither, and we learned a lot about their growth process. After lunch, I felt unwell, possibly due to heatstroke, and couldn't participate in the afternoon activities, but the guide and driver kindly let me rest in the car. Thank you very much.

Really great experience with Mr Jeff. Everything was smooth and easy from start to finish. Being on a private tour already made a big difference, but riding in his 4x4 was a nice bonus especially on the uneven roads.
He’s friendly, easy to talk to, and knows his stuff. He shared about the local culture and history, which made the trip more interesting. We also had some good chats about world politics and current events, which made the whole experience feel more personal.
The pace was comfortable, not rushed at all, and we had enough time to enjoy each stop properly. Overall, a very pleasant and well-run tour. Would definitely recommend Mr Jeff. Thank you!!!

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.

A truly immersive experience! Our group had ten people, and there were staff members at both the front and back. There was one long downhill stretch that was awesome, going straight down, so exciting! The lunch included in the package was also very generous, and the cream shrimp was delicious and highly recommended 👍🏻
