Relax trip, value for money. well plan and nice dinner provided. hotel pickup and drop off is the plus one. wild life trips must depend on your luck, not 100% can see the monkey, firefly 100% can see and it was amazing. boat man use light to attract the firefly to come towards you. very nice.

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😬

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!

It was a very fun trip to two different islands. the tour guide was very nice and have very clear responsible communication with everyone in my group.

This trip was the best of my Sabah tour as I could watch the long-nosed monkeys, fireflies and beautiful sunset. The guide was very helpful and professional. He could tell us many relevant and interesting information. We appreciated his passion.

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.

Handsome Jeff was a very friendly guide!!He was very knowledgeable about Malaysia and the countries of his guests and shared many stories with us.We had a great time with him and would recommend him to everyone( ◠‿◠ )

Highly recommended tour!! The driver- Pan Shiew Bin has been very knowledgeable and understanding, he was able to ensure the long car rides weren't boring. Pls opt in for the private tour as the tour duration is just right, we are able to chill and relax at each places without having the driver to rush us. Mr Pan also make a pit stop for us to get the famous sinalau bakas (smoked wild boar) and fruit stall to get “Sabah fruit” although it is not part of the itinerary. My family and I have enjoyed a full day tour at Mt Kk region with him
