We booked a private tour and had such a great time visiting Pekan Nabalu, Tamparuli Bridge, and Desa Dairy Farm in Kundasang. The ride was super comfortable and pleasant. We skipped the National Park since we were traveling with our elderly mom, but still had an amazing day. At Pekan Nabalu, we were lucky to catch a clear view of Mount Kinabalu — sometimes it’s hidden behind clouds! It’s also a nice spot to grab some souvenirs. Tamparuli Bridge might just be a suspension bridge, but the view and the local legend make it worth a stop. Our last stop at Desa Dairy Farm was beautiful — loved the cool breeze, hillside views, and getting to feed the calves and goats. Our guide, Vincent, was soft-spoken, informative, and super helpful. We really enjoyed his company. Highly recommended!

I joined a mixed group tour alone this time. Everyone, including myself, was from Singapore and I was with a Singaporean, a Chinese couple, and a Korean family. I was contacted about the pick-up time via WhatsApp in advance, and the communication was prompt upon arrival, so everything went smoothly. The guide and driver spoke easy-to-understand English and kept us informed of the time required for each part of the itinerary, so I felt at ease. It was a pity that the weather wasn't good enough to see the shape of Mount Kinabalu, but I was able to fully enjoy nature at Poring Hot Springs, the Rafflesia Garden, and Desa Farm. The yogurt gelato at Desa Farm and the BBQ pork on the way back were both exquisite and worth trying. Lunch was also Chinese food with flavors familiar to Japanese people. Since you will be traveling on mountain roads in a large van, it is essential to take measures against motion sickness in advance. (They were considerate enough to let me sit in the front of the van when I requested it.) It cost an additional RM80 in total for admission to Poring Hot Springs and the Rafflesia Garden, but considering the distance traveled and the tour content, it was reasonably priced, and overall a highly recommended tour.

Our trip to Kudasang was enjoyable. Out driver was on time and the activities we partook were well-paced. Our guide, Roy, was friendly and took pride in his job. We had a seamless experience from start to finish.

A fantastic trip with distant views of the sacred mountain, opportunities to feed cows and sheep, have fun with fish, and see the Rafflesia up close. Plus, a delicious lunch and wild boar meat. Highly recommended for first-time visitors to Sabah.

the tour company borneo calling was so organised ! the point of person Mei, gave timely updates and checks to ensure that everything goes smoothly! on the day we arrived at the kinabalu lodges, the check in was smooth, rooms were very clean ! on the day of the hike, we were introduced to our mountain guide: Sofian. He was so nice and encouraging during our hike up and as well on the way down. We can see that safety was the number one priority during the whole hike. the weather was not the best. there was heavy rain on the first day as we hiked up to panalaban and it was told that if the weather remains rainy, the hike to the peak may be cancelled. Luckily however, the rain cleared but it remained cloudy at the top. it was often also explained to look out for signs and symptoms of altitude sickness which was very important. The hike up to Low's peak is tough however worth it. highly recommend! still not an easy hike

It was awesome. The guide drove super well, getting us there in an hour and a half when it should have been a two-hour drive. If you want a special trip in Kota Kinabalu, I'd recommend it.
