Desa Cattle Dairy Farm rundturer

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!

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.

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.

was a great experience. the guide was experienced and drove rather fast. paragliding -our wait was mere minutes. the guides try to fly as high as possible but it all depends on the wind. each of us has abt 15 min in the air. there was a ATV - 10 min free thrown in. we even made an additional stop to see Rafflesia ( rm30 paid to owner of land). the roast wild boar was interesting ( just get RM5 per pax). we got a free packet of milk at Desa and bought yoghurt. rennet to wear shoes, weather can be chilly and unpredictable.

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!

Vi tillbringade hela dagen med guiden Mr. M och utforskade Kinabalu-nationalparken, Nabalu Town och andra platser. Framför allt var berget Kinabalu och dess omgivningar storslagna och oerhört vackra. I Kinabalu-nationalparken var vi mycket nöjda med att få se en mängd växter, fåglar, ekorrar, rafflesia och andra växter och djur som vi aldrig ser i Japan. Guidens kunskap och omtänksamhet var också fantastisk. Både lunchen och middagen efter turen intogs på rekommenderade restauranger, och båda var helt suveräna vad gäller både prisvärdhet och smak.

Resplan: Lagom längd Säkerhet: Mycket säker Landskap: Varierat, vi fick till och med se rafflesia, njuta av fiskspa vid sjön och smaka på vildsvinskött, vilket var mycket intressant och minnesvärt Utrustning som tillhandahålls: Säkerheten för ATV och skärmflygning sköttes noggrant, mycket intressant och spännande, ett fylligt program för en lycklig dag Reseledare: Xiao Mei är professionell, omtänksam och tålmodig, följer med hela vägen och är mycket uppmärksam Lunch: Nylagad och välsmakande, med kalla drycker och färsk frukt, bra Dagen före avresan skickades alla viktiga instruktioner via WhatsApp, mycket omtänksamt, en trevlig upplevelse. En dagsutflykt till berget Kinabalu som innehåller en mängd olika aktiviteter är ett måste att besöka och göra när man är i Sabah, varmt rekommenderat.
