Kinabalu National Park

Båten var bra for prisen, men massasjen kunne vært lengre. Det er et alternativ for to timer. Den første øya er vakker, nydelig og ren. Den andre øya er litt kort, men du kan besøke to øyer på én dag. For prisen er det absolutt verdt det. For alle som reiser for første gang, anbefaler jeg det på det sterkeste. Lokalbefolkningen er vennlige, og maten er også god.

Our family and a friend's family, 4 adults and 4 children, signed up for this tour. We were picked up at our hotel at 7:30 AM, followed by a 2.5-hour drive to the Mount Kinabalu viewpoint. The city roads from Kota Kinabalu to Mount Kinabalu were congested, but our guide was flexible and accommodated the children's restroom breaks along the way. After taking many photos at the viewpoint, we headed to Desa Farm. On the way, we made a detour to a local fruit shop. Our tour guide, Jeff, introduced us to fruits we had never seen before, and we bought and ate one or two of each. We were excited by fruits we had never heard of or seen, like apple jelly, avocado cheese, and snake fruit! The avocado cheese tasted like sweet steamed pumpkin, with a texture and flavor unlike any fruit! It was delicious. From there, we went to Desa Farm. Located at an altitude of about 1,500m, it wasn't too hot and was very comfortable! The weather was clear with few clouds, and we took many great photos with the sharp ridges of Mount Kinabalu in the background. Was that a sun halo? Jeff smoothly guided us through recommended activities like soft-serve ice cream and feeding calves and goats. Jeff, who is also a father of four, is knowledgeable about funny TikTok videos, and our children had a blast taking funny videos with him, making it a very satisfying experience. Afterward, we had lunch at a nearby restaurant and then went rafflesia watching. We were worried if we would see any, as they only bloom for 5-7 days a year, but we saw two blooming rafflesias! We also saw buds and withered ones, which was a unique experience only available locally. Nearby, there were also cacao and durian trees! I was surprised to see durians growing on such tall trees. By this point, it was past 3 PM. The children were getting tired, so we decided to change the itinerary and head back. The morning traffic jam was long. On the way back, there was a strange cloud hanging over the summit of Mount Kinabalu. Jeff told us it was a rare sight. The return journey was also a bit congested, but we managed to get back to the hotel around 7 PM. We had originally planned to be back by 5:30 PM, but the road congestion and it being summer vacation season caused delays. I recommend bringing a bit more cash, as there are places at the rafflesia site that don't accept credit cards for insect repellent, and some restaurants for lunch. Thank you, Jeff, for a fun tour! The magnificent scenery and your enjoyable assistance made it a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

It was such a wonderful experience! Our guide, Sui, was incredibly kind and helpful, which made us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire day. We truly enjoyed every moment. Thank you so much! I would definitely recommend this experience to everyone!

Veldig fin tur, fikk se mange kuer på Desa Cattle Farm og det fulgte med en gratis liten melkekartong. Spiste et hjertevarmende måltid og var heldige nok til å se rafflesiaen og forskjellige sjeldne orkidéarter i blomst. Mye fin natur fra toppen av fjellet. Turlederen Michael er også veldig kunnskapsrik og lidenskapelig opptatt av de forskjellige plantearter på fjellet, spesielt orkideene. En god og avslappende dagstur, da bussen henter på hotellet og returnerer til byen.

Du kan rett og slett ikke være mer profesjonell enn dette teamet; de hadde forberedt drikkevann, snacks og deilig mat. En stor takk til Didi, han er en profesjonell og morsom turguide.

We spent the whole day touring Kinabalu Park, Nabalu Town, and other sights with our guide, Mr. M. First and foremost, the scenery of Mount Kinabalu and its surrounding area was majestic and breathtakingly beautiful. At Kinabalu Park, we were thrilled to see a wide variety of wildlife we never get to see in Japan, including numerous plants, birds, squirrels, and even a Rafflesia. Our guide's knowledge and attentiveness were wonderful, and the restaurants he recommended for both lunch and dinner after the tour offered amazing food and fantastic value for the price.

Mount Sossodikon offers incredibly beautiful views and is great value for money. The ATV ride is a lot of fun. It would be safer for beginners to practice riding before setting off. There's road construction along the way with many engineering vehicles; the mountain road is steep, and there are no guardrails, making it both thrilling and a bit scary. However, the local residents are very friendly and wave as you pass by.

Everything is very well arranged and organised. Right from picked up till end of hike. The accommodation lodge at Kinabalu park was fantastic. The hike was rather tough though especially the one at 2.30am to the summit. Need to pay addition to the guide and transport back to accommodation as exceeded the stipulated time though.

Tusen takk for en utrolig tur opp Mount Kinabalu. Å gå Walk the Torq-ruten var uten tvil den beste delen av klatringen. Utsikten var uvirkelig, og utstyret føltes helt trygt. Som en solo-vandrer følte jeg meg utrolig godt ivaretatt hele tiden. En stor takk til begge mine fantastiske guider! Fjellguiden min var fantastisk til å tilpasse tempoet mitt til toppen, og via ferrata-guiden min var profesjonell og fikk meg til å føle meg 100 % trygg på den bratte fjellveggen. Jeg hadde en så minneverdig opplevelse at hvis jeg får sjansen til å komme tilbake, vil jeg definitivt utfordre meg selv med den lange Low's Peak Circuit neste gang. 💪🏻
