All questions
  • J

    Justin

    Asked on August 7th, 2025

    Can we still join this tour?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • This tour is on request so we need to check with our suppliers if they still have availability. To do this, you must book the tour, we send you the terms, and then after payment, we can start the request. If the request is denied, a full refund is then issued.

  • 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.
