On Christmas Eve with a lovely weather, we were lucky to see everything except one type of monkeys. Very helpful guides, who made the whole tour more memorable. Didn't expect much from the Malaysian style dinner, which was eaten at 4:30, LOL!

Good experience to those who never been to Kundasang. Tour guide and driver is good as they planned the itinerary smoothly. Weather was good when our first stop to view and take photos of Mount Kinabalu. next stop after lunch was to see the famous flower Rafflesia. just in time 4 flowers were blooming at the same time . BBQ pork was tender. Get to try fresh milk and yogurt from their famous Desa Dairy farms too.

🌿 What It Is Mari Mari Cultural Village is a living cultural museum about 25–30 min from Kota Kinabalu that showcases the traditional lifestyles, homes, crafts, tools, dances and food of Sabah’s five indigenous tribes (Kadazan-Dusun, Murut, Rungus, Lundayeh, and Bajau). You walk through authentic traditional houses and learn through demonstrations rather than just static displays.  ⸻ 👍 Highlights — What Visitors Love ✔ Immersive & Educational Most travelers find the guided tour very informative — you’ll learn how  ✔ Cultural Performances & Snacks Expect lively dance performances, music, food tasting (including rice wine), and a local buffet lunch — which many say adds depth and flavour to the visit.  ✔ Great for Families & Groups It’s often described as family-friendly and suited for visitors of all ages thanks to the mix of learning + hands-on fun.  ⭐ Overall rating: ~4.7 out of 5 stars on Google reviews — most guests find it truly worthwhile as a cultural experience.

Perfect Day, perfect weather even in october. a bit hot but views was good.. and the snorkeling was crazy because one of the crew members was a heavily talented underwater photographer and he was working very very hard.. staying underwater for long minutes to take everyone's videos

Alhamdulillah, it's great to see the Upside Down House. But it would be even better if we could take pictures inside the Upside Down House.

Highly recommend. The snorkeling tour is very professional and nice.Firstly, we took a boat to Mengalum Island and enjoyed the beach there. About 11:00AM, we went to two beautiful snorkeling spots in total. There were all kinds of fish in both places, and we also saw starfish and octopuses🐙.After lunch, just enjoyed chill time on the beach🏖️. I had a very wonderful and memorable experience in Mengalum Island. Happy new year and all the best wishes to the one who is reading the review😬

We had a wonderful experience on this private day tour to.The trip was well-organized and very comfortable, perfect for a relaxed yet memorable day. Thanks for Selina for providing the details. Desa Farm was absolutely beautiful — the cool weather, scenic views and farm atmosphere made it a great place to unwind and take photos. It really felt like a peaceful escape from the city. Pekan Nabalu was also a highlight trying the local fruits and taking photos of Mt Kinabalu. Tamparuli bridge, which added a fun and unique experience to the trip.Our driver Rex was friendly, punctual and knowledgeable, making the journey smooth and enjoyable. Since it was a private tour, we could move at our own pace without feeling rushed, which made the experience even better. Overall, this tour exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this to anyone who visiting.

Baoqing was truly our guide of the day. Although I’m a local and have joined multiple tour agencies to Mantanani Island and the Kawa-Kawa River, Baoqing stood out as an exceptional tour guide who showed me how much difference a good guide can make to a trip. He provided clear and detailed information from the beginning until the end, including estimated travel times to each destination, which is especially important for foreign tourists. What impressed me most was his attentiveness during the snorkelling session, where he took the initiative to ask who could and could not swim—something none of the other tour agencies I’ve experienced ever considered. The tour assistants were friendly, patient, and very considerate despite doing this work repeatedly, and their professionalism truly enhanced the overall experience. For firefly-watching tours, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to help upgrade and enhance the tourist experience, as I studied firefly tourism during my master’s degree.
