What people love about Mount Kinabalu Tours
- Sandakan Orangutan Experience 4D/3N
The tour was great, very well organised, full of adventure and saw lots of things. Only thing is I think if it was organised by myself it would have cost a fraction of what the actual cost was however we used up some travel credits so we cannot complain as we were very well looked after.
- Borneo Family Holiday
It was a wonderful experience for our family and met great people on our tour. Our tour guide was amazing and so knowledgeable which made things easier for getting around and being comfortable in another country. We thoroughly enjoyed the activities and even ones that were out of our comfort zone. The animals were the best part of the trip, our son is 13years old and I think he was at a great age to go on this tour, would recommend it.
- Trek Mt Kinabalu
Wet, cold and amazing!
