Things to do in Kota Belud

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.

The tour guide was fantastic! Because there wasn't much rain, it wasn't as thrilling, but the guide arranged for us to raft, try diving, and play skipping stones. The entire itinerary was very meticulous, the communication was excellent, and it was well worth participating!

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.

Steve is such a great guide where he explained everything in detailed. However, for the dinner food maybe can improve on that part. Overall, the trip is nice and we all had fun.

it was a long ride to n fro and with young kids, it was getting kinda restless but our tour guide mr emp was so patient with us and the kids. apart from that, during the long ride he also shared information and history abt sabah which we weren’t aware of. at kundasang, the temp was so chilly yet the sun was so glaring, it was hot and cold at the same time. kids had a great time at the rabbit farm, fish spa and cow farm. i wanted to try the famous ayam madu and mr emp drove us there with no hesitation. mr emp also offered to take us to alpaca club which was not part of the itinerary. unfortunately, we were so tired! i will recommend this not only bec the kids enjoyed the trip, but bec mr emp is such a patient and wonderful tour guide.

This tour is such a gem. Started the tour with a beach destination in Mantanani Island - my fave beach of all beaches I visited. And ended the tour with fireflies - truly a magical experience!
