Sabah Mga biyahe sa araw

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!

Lubos na kasiya-siyang biyahe! Nakita ko ang Rafflesia na gusto ko, at maganda rin ang ibang mga aktibidad. Si Calvin, ang tour guide, ay mabait at detalyadong nagpaliwanag ng mga aktibidad, at maingat siyang magmaneho kaya kampante kami. Napilayan ako at namaga ang aking paa kaya kailangan kong magpatingin sa doktor. Ipinakilala niya ako at inihatid sa klinika, at mabilis akong nakakita ng doktor at nakapagpa-X-ray. Kinumpirma ng doktor na wala akong bali, na nagbigay sa akin ng kapayapaan ng isip, at ang gastos ay makatwiran at hindi mahal. Muli, salamat kay Calvin sa kanyang tulong. Maraming aktibidad ang one-day tour na ito, at masarap din ang tanghalian. Sa tingin ko, makatwiran ang presyo ng tour na ito.

Napakagandang tour, nakakita kami ng maraming baka sa Desa cattle farm at may kasama pang libreng maliit na karton ng gatas. Nakakabusog ang aming kinain at pinalad kaming makakita ng rafflesia at iba't ibang bihirang uri ng orkidya na namumulaklak. Maraming magagandang tanawin mula sa tuktok ng bundok. Ang tour guide na si Michael ay napakatalino at masigasig din sa iba't ibang uri ng halaman sa bundok, lalo na sa mga orkidya. Maganda at nakakarelax na day trip dahil susunduin kayo ng bus mula sa hotel at ibabalik sa lungsod.

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed this day trip; we had a fantastic time! Our guide, Xiao Yang, was incredibly knowledgeable, not only about the plants and insects along the way but also sharing a lot of local culture and history. So, this trip allowed us to appreciate beautiful scenery, learn a great deal, and even discover some recommended local delicacies. We felt very satisfied 🥳 Xiao Yang also adjusted the itinerary based on weather changes, making each attraction more enjoyable. We are truly grateful 😊 Highly recommend!

Napakagandang karanasan namin sa tour na ito. Ang buong araw ay maayos na naorganisa at naramdaman naming personalized mula simula hanggang matapos. Ang aming tour guide, si Adeor, ang nagpaganda at nagpasaya sa aming biyahe. Siya ay palakaibigan, may kaalaman, at nagbahagi ng mga kawili-wiling impormasyon sa buong paglalakbay. Pinagbigyan din niya ang aming kahilingan na huminto sa Upside Down House habang papunta (kahit na wala ito sa itinerary). Ang tour mismo ay puno ng magagandang karanasan at ang tanghalian ay napakasarap din, na may magandang tanawin. Ang isa pang bagay na lubos naming pinahahalagahan ay kung gaano ka-maalalahanin ang team. Nagdala si Adeor ng mga dagdag na kapote, payong, at mahahalagang gamit kung sakaling magbago ang panahon, na nagparamdam sa amin na kami ay inaalagaan nang husto. Parehong ang guide at ang driver ay lubhang mainit at palakaibigan, at nagkaroon kami ng koneksyon dahil sa aming pagmamahal sa Bollywood. Sa pangkalahatan, isang kamangha-manghang tour na may magagandang tanawin, masarap na pagkain, at tunay na mainit na pagtanggap. Lubos na inirerekomenda para sa sinumang bumibisita sa 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. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, and dedicated driver in Sabah. Thank you for making our trip such a memorable one!

Dahil mahilig kami sa tsokolate ng kasama kong naglalakbay, lubos naming nasiyahan ang Sabah Chocolate Factory.
