All questions
  • E

    Elena

    Asked on May 3rd, 2025

    Is it acceptable if our flight lands at 21:20 local time in Kuching on Day 1 of the tour? Could we still join the tour later if our flight is delayed?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Yes, that would be ok. Since the tour stays in Kuching you would only miss a few activities in the scenario that, unfortunately, your flight is delayed.

    • E

      Elena

      TravelerWritten May 2025

      If we wanted to leave the tour early and stay in the area ourselves, would that be OK? Could we arrange for our flight from Lahad Datu to Kota Kinabalu to be a few days later?

    • You could certainly sign off from the tour early and stay, but we would not be able to deviate the flight, you would have to arrange your own for the date you leave.
