Saker att göra i Kinabalu National Park

The boat was good for the price, but the massage could be longer. It is an option for two hours. The first island is beautiful, gorgeous, and clean. The second island is a little bit short, but you can do two islands in one day. For the price, it's definitely worth it. For any first-timer, I recommend it for sure. The locals are friendly, and the food is great as well.

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.

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!

David was wonderful. He was professional and attentive throughout the trip. Islands were beautiful, water was crystal clear, and wildlife was abundant. Would thoroughly recommend for a day out in KK.

Man kan helt enkelt inte vara mer professionell än det här teamet; de förberedde dricksvatten, snacks och utsökt mat. Ett stort tack till Didi, han är en professionell och skämtsam guide.

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!

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.
