Heldagstur til Mount Kinabalu og Desa Farm

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.

Reiseleder Sam (Mr. Mok) var veldig profesjonell. I tillegg til severdighetene på reiseruten, hjalp han også med å arrangere et besøk til Rafflesia-blomsten, smake på grillet svinekjøtt med innfødt smak og leke med gigantiske koi-fisker. Den opprinnelige reiseruten inkluderte Kinabalu-fjellets utkikkspunkt, DESA ku- og sauefarm og hengebroen. Hvis tiden tillater det, kan man legge til noen nærliggende attraksjoner for å berike turen. Toppen av Kinabalu-fjellet er høyere enn skyene, så det er lett å bli skjult, og om man får tatt et panoramabilde avhenger av flaks. På DESA ku- og sauefarm kan man bruke RM2 på å kjøpe gress for å mate kalver og lam, noe som er veldig morsomt. Takket være Sams forklaringer fikk vi en klar forståelse av Kinabalu-fjellets økologi, Rafflesia-blomstens vekstprosess, Sabahs historie og kultur, samt kinesernes utvikling, noe som var en ekstra bonus. Takk for arrangementet som ga oss en uforglemmelig tur til Kinabalu-fjellet. Selv om vi ikke fikk se hele Kinabalu-fjellet fra utkikkspunktet den dagen, klarte vi å ta bilder av det fra flyet dagen etter, noe som kompenserte litt for skuffelsen, haha!

Godt tempo på reiseruten og flott kommunikasjon med sjåføren vår, Mr. Lai, og turoperatøren. Den private turen innebar å ha en sjåfør for dagen som ikke var en turguide i seg selv, men som var hjelpsom med å peke ut viktige landemerker og hva man skulle gjøre på hvert sted. Ellers var det relativt selvguidet, noe som var greit da det stort sett var selvforklarende. Vær forberedt på en lang dag, da Kundasang er et stykke unna KK. Vi så Tamparuli-broen – de hadde en kort introduksjon til lokal tradisjonell musikk (donasjonsbasert) før vi krysset, flott for bilder og for å prøve instrumentene. På Pekan Nabalu prøvde vi lokale frukter, snacks og handlet håndverk. Desa Dairy Farm (inngang ikke inkludert, RM10 for lokale, RM20 for ikke-lokale, som inkluderte en gratis kartong melk) er fantastisk. Melkeprosessen er imidlertid kl. 14.00, noe vi ikke ble for å se (det er en god video om det på stedet), og man kunne betale ekstra for å mate babykuer og geiter. Prøv isen der og Sinalau Bakas på veien tilbake! Anbefales på det sterkeste.

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.

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

Jai and Selina was very accommodating. one of our member had food poisoning the day before and after discussion last minute (literally 30 mins before) they were ok to postpone the trip to later date at a small penalty fee. Jai is safe driver and knowledgeable guide, he was accommodating as well, always showing us around and helping with photography. We’re 3 adults 3 child so the 3 locations was just nice for us in terms of stops. We had sufficient photo op, experienced feeding the calf, tasting some desa farm yogurt, etc.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful Tour Experience – Highly Recommended! I joined the Desa Farm & Sabah's National Park Private Day Tour and had an absolutely amazing experience. The scenery was stunning throughout the journey, and every stop offered something unique and memorable. A major highlight of the tour was our guide, Mr. Ban. He is incredibly knowledgeable, especially in botany and the history of Sabah, and he shared many fascinating insights along the way. On top of that, he is humorous, approachable, and provides clients with great emotional value — always making the group feel comfortable, motivated, and well taken care of. He is also very helpful, hardworking, and polite, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic day trip, and I’m really glad I joined. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Sabah!

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!

The tour was excellent with our guide michelle chong who took care of us and gave us recommendations around kinabalu. would have been spectacular if the clouds didnt cover mt kinabalu. the farm was good fun and the ice cream and milk there was amazing! very worthy tour!

our driver Mr. Lai Nyap Tsung is very enthusiast to take our family photos and explain different places. He is very approachable and he knows where to buy cheap product and very nice Sinalau Bakas😊we enjoyed our full day tour last 19 August 2025.
