    My overall experience was most enjoyable, but i feel personally i would enjoy a smaller group. I was also pleased that this trip was the 1st part and the more exciting part was too come.

    Asked on May 16th, 2023

    What is the maximum number of people on theses tours? I am looking for a tour with small amounts of people. Also, if I didn't do the Mount Kinabalu climb, as im 57 years old, or though reasonably fit, what other options are there to do for those days?, when the rest of the tour are climbing the Mountain

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written May 2023

      In terms of the group size, the Min would be 1 & Max would be 16. For those that do not wish to climb Mt Kinabalu you are not obliged to, it is an option to have accommodation arranged and stay at the base of Kinabalu at Park Headquarters. The local leader can assist you in recommending some activities that you can engage while you wait for the group to return from the hike.

      You have the option to skip trip activities during the trip by informing your tour leader. You also have the option to skip the Mt Kinabalu climb but if you decide to skip this hike, you will have to inform us prior to the trip departure, so that our local team can make the necessary arrangements for you.
