Experiência de Escalada Via Ferrata no Monte Kinabalu com Guia Particular

Overall, an amazing experience! Everybody from the organizers, drivers and guides were really great! Although, this activity is heavily weather dependent, the package is well executed and would recommend to anyone who enjoys the outdoors!

I booked this activity in Klook on 14 Aug, and was contacted by them the next day on 15 Aug to confirm on my details. My hike was scheduled to be on 20 Sep, a month later. Everything was confirmed on 15 Aug when they contacted me. However, when I contacted them on 19 Sep (a day before my hike) to confirm on the pick up time, there was no reply. I contacted them via text again on the morning of 20 Sep (hiking day) but still received no reply, until I tried calling them which I then received a text reply saying they will pick me up at 8:30am. Reached the park HQ at 9, but had to wait for my guide till 10am, by then almost everyone had already started on their hike. I think I was the last person to start. As I opted for the via ferreta, I had a cut off timing to meet and was rushing the hike up and didn't rly manage to enjoy the scenery up. My guide told me he was only informed to be my guide on that morning which was why he was also late. Think they might have forgotten my booking.

The itinerary arranged by the travel agency was excellent. We received postcards before ascending the mountain, a bento lunch (sandwich, chicken wings, apple) at noon, and a late lunch after descending. The mountain guide was also fantastic, motivating us at appropriate times, informing us of the distance and time to the next rest stop, actively helping with photos at scenic spots, and assisting with minor issues like trekking poles.

Everything was arranged smoothly. However, I wished that the driver followed the itinerary (time) on day 1 as we wanted to stay longer at Desa Dairy Farm but he sent us a bit too early at the hotel on the first night. Overall, it’s a wonderful experience! A certain level of fitness is definitely needed in this hike.

Booked the Private Mount Kinabalu Via Ferrata Climb via Klook (fulfilled by Borneo Calling) and it was a great experience overall. Mei from Borneo Calling was super helpful—she kept us updated with driver info, emergency contacts, and tips for the climb. The hike itself was very tough. I've done a few mountains before but this was the hardest. Unless you're very fit, I'd think twice about doing Via Ferrata—it has a strict 6:30am cutoff which is hard to meet unless you summit quickly. The views were stunning and totally worth it. We stayed at Pendant Hut—basic but had running water and warm showers, which was a nice surprise. Food was average. Note: summit push and Via Ferrata depend on weather, so cancellations can happen. Overall, a humbling and rewarding climb. Highly recommend booking through Borneo Calling, but assess your fitness before attempting this!

Polite and friendly staff. Good facilities, satisfied with the service. Will recommend to friends next time.

Thank you so much for an incredible trip up Mount Kinabalu. Doing the Walk the Torq route was easily the best part of the climb. The views were unreal and the gear felt completely secure.As a solo hiker, I felt incredibly well taken care of the entire time. A massive thank you to both of my amazing guides! My mountain guide was fantastic at pacing me to the summit, and my via ferrata guide was professional and made me feel 100% safe on the sheer rock face.I had such a memorable experience that if I have the chance to come back, I definitely want to challenge myself with the long Low's Peak Circuit next time. 💪🏻

One-stop arrangement service, excellent! The tour guide provided thoughtful care, and the leader helped take photos along the way and even taught us how to pose. The entire trip was easy, as long as you had enough stamina.

The shuttle driver and the evening accommodation were quite good, and the guide was very talkative and answered all questions! It's a worthwhile trip, not to be missed if you love hiking~

Solo climb mount kinabalu with one guide. Paid more but had a wonderful experience and everything goes smoothly.
