Sabah Dagsutflykter

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!

En mycket tillfredsställande resa! Jag fick se rafflesian som jag önskade, och de andra aktiviteterna var också bra. Guiden Calvin var vänlig och förklarade programmet noggrant, och han körde försiktigt vilket gjorde att vi kände oss trygga. Jag hade vrickat foten och behövde träffa en läkare, så han rekommenderade och körde mig till en klinik. Jag fick snabbt träffa en läkare och ta röntgenbilder. Läkaren bekräftade att jag inte hade några frakturer, vilket lugnade mig, och kostnaden var rimlig. Tack igen för Calvins hjälp. Denna endagstur med bara aktiviteter hade många programpunkter, och lunchen var också bra. Jag tycker att priset för turen var rimligt.

Mina vänner och jag njöt verkligen av denna dagsutflykt och hade jätteroligt! Vår guide, Xiao Yang, var mycket kunnig och kunde inte bara berätta allt om växter och insekter längs vägen, utan delade också med sig av mycket lokal kultur och historia. Så den här resan erbjöd både vackra vyer och massor av ny kunskap, och vi fick till och med rekommendationer på god mat. Vi kände oss mycket nöjda 🥳 Xiao Yang anpassade också resplanen efter väderförändringarna, vilket gjorde att varje attraktion kunde upplevas smidigare. Stort tack verkligen 😊 Rekommenderas varmt!

Mycket trevlig tur, lyckades se många kor på Desa Cattle Farm och en gratis liten mjölkkartong ingick. Åt en hjärtvärmande måltid och hade turen att se rafflesian och olika sällsynta orkidéarter blomma. Mycket vacker natur från toppen av berget. Reseledaren Michael är också mycket kunnig och passionerad när det gäller de olika växtarterna på berget, särskilt orkidéerna. En bra och avkopplande dagsutflykt då bussen hämtar upp från hotellet och återvänder till staden.

We had an amazing experience on this tour. The entire day was well-organised and felt personalised from start to finish. Our tour guide, Adeor, made the trip memorable and enjoyable. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared interesting insights throughout the journey. He also accommodated our request stop at the Upside Down House on the way (even though it wasn’t in the itinerary. The tour itself had so many great experiences packed in and the lunch was also absolutely delicious, with a nice view. Another thing we really appreciated was how thoughtful the team was. Adeor carried extra raincoats, umbrellas, and essentials in case of weather changes, which made us feel very well taken care of. Both the guide and the driver were extremely warm and friendly, and we ended up bonding over our shared love for Bollywood. Overall, a fantastic tour with beautiful sights, great food, and genuinely warm hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kota Kinabalu!

We had a wonderful experience with our driver during our half day kk city tour trip. Driver Mr Mok was extremely friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the entire journey. He put a lot of effort into recommending suitable attractions and made sure we could enjoy the trip without feeling rushed. He was also very patient and thoughtful, always willing to help us take photos and even suggested good photo spots and angles. What we appreciated most was his excellent service and genuine care. He was not just a driver, but also made the whole trip feel more enjoyable and comfortable with his helpful recommendations and assistance.
