Wir wollten den Kinabalu Nationalpark und den Kinabalu Berg sehen, deswegen haben wir diese teure Tour gebucht. Der Service im Vorfeld war hervorragend, aber die Tour an sich war das Schlechteste, die wir jemals gemacht haben … Der Guide, Herr Farid, hat lediglich 2 Sätze mit uns gesprochen. Beim Mittagessen lieferte er uns mit den Worten „lunch“ ab und auch sonst gab es keine Erklärung zu den Stops. Wir haben dann viel auf Wikipedia nachgelesen - dafür braucht man keinen Guide ;-). Das wirklich Bedenkliche und weshalb ich diese schlechte Bewertung schreibe, war allerdings der FAHRER. Ich habe noch nie so eine schlechte und bedenkliche Fahrweise erlebt. Er fuhr den Bus wie einen Pkw, hielt keinen Sicherheitsabstand zu den vorausfahrenden Fahrzeugen und startete sehr gewagte Überholmanöver im nicht einsehbaren Kurvenbereich. Die Fahrgäste im hinteren Teil des Kleinbusses wurden regelrecht herumgeschleudert und der Fahrer passte seine Fahrweise nicht an. Er schien auch weder mit einer angepassten Fahrweise im Gebirge noch mit einem Schaltgetriebe vertraut zu sein. Der Kleinbus war ein älteres Modell und nicht gut motorisiert. Einmal mussten wir sogar aussteigen, als der Bus bergauf fuhr, weil wir sonst nicht von der Stelle gekommen wären. Bei der Bergabfahrt fuhr der Fahrer wieder so übertrieben schnell und wir hatten Angst, dass der Kleinbus in den Kurven ausbricht. Wir haben uns noch nie so unsicher bei einem Fahrer gefühlt. Ich habe im Nachgang die Agentur informiert und hoffe sehr, dass sie einen neuen verantwortlicheren Fahrer finden. Fazit: Der Kinabalu lohnt sich und wir empfehlen jedem diesen aus der Nähe zu besuchen. Diese Tour war jedoch ein Albtraum. Wir empfehlen, lieber ein Grab zu buchen. Dabei hat man bestimmt bessere Chancen einen motivierten und ortskundigen Guide in einem sicheren Fahrzeug zu bekommen und auch preislich, wird das keinen großen Unterschied machen.Alastair B

Ryan was our tour guide for this day out into the jungles of Borneo. There were some utter delights in the day: the Kinabalu Botanical Garden was fascinating. The Poring Hot Springs were a little odd to western eyes, but not without appeal, but the real treat was going on beyond the canopy walkway to the natural waterfall and going to swim in it! My tour was with 25 male sailors, mainly in their 20s, from a naval vessel, but Ryan found absolutely the right level with the group and was infectious with his enthusiasm for his subject. Lunch was very good and substantial enough to sustain my group for the day.Alain R

Un jardin botanique avec découverte des orchidées et un bon guide mais 7 heures dans un car avec climatisation (amortisseurs bien fatigués), sans eau offerte aux participants, un repas de midi bon mais frugal, des prestations non incluses et des hotsprings avec possibilité de se mouiller les pieds (pont suspendu sympa dans la forêt tropicale). Cher et beaucoup de temps....Karlee_D

This trip was amazing. Our tour guide Melvin was the best guide we could wish for! He made our tour a really great experience with a lot of information about the plants/ nature and animals. We even saw apes and that was really rare. 5 stars for this tour!

We enjoyed the trip. The guide was friendly, we have seen the Mt Kinabalu, the hot springs, had tree top walk and visited botanical garden. Really nice, despite being stuck in a traffic jam on the way back. Recommended.

We had a fantastic day (long travelling times to and from) Flo our guide was extremely knowledgeable Flora & Fauna, we learnt so much from her both at the Botanical Gardens and during the Canopy Walk. Great at the end after our climb to the Canopy Walk to dip our feet in the hot Pouring Springs Water. We were luck with the weather and got some great photos of Mount Kinabalu from various vantage points. Well worth going, even with the long travel times.
