Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Kiulu Water Raft and Mari-Mari Cultural Village Tour
Guest User2024-10-05
Jiulu rafting is very exciting, but not dangerous, the coach is professional and very careful, I was afraid of the water, let me enjoy this journey! Mali Mali Cultural Village also makes me very unforgettable! The tour guide Cavin is very professional and attentive, and the commentator Ray is also very professional and let me know a lot about the customs of Malaysian indigenous peoples!★

Reviews: Sabah Kawa Mangrove Forest Day Trip [Small group tour available | Mosque | Proboscis monkeys and fireflies]
Guest User2026-01-12
I think this is a very worthwhile part of Kota Kinabalu; the fireflies are beautiful, and the tour guide is excellent. Aside from the slightly bumpy ride on the main road, there are no other downsides.★

Reviews: Kinabalu Park, Poring Hot Spring & Desa Dairy Farm Shared Day Tour
Guest User2025-11-29
We had Jeff aka Mr Handsome as our guide. He was v responsible and contacted us a day before w details abt the tour. Jeff has excellent communication skills and is sensitive to the needs of the travellers. He made a slight change due to the weather and bcos of this we avoided the jams. He is very experienced and you feel v assured and relaxed throughout the whole trip. I could not find anything that really needs improving(maybe the potholes). One of the most excellent and knowledgeable guides we have come across through our many decades of tours. He never stops learning. I will not hesitate to recommend Jeff. We got to see our rafflesia and the desa farm was brilliant. The small hike at poring springs was enjoyable! Tqvm for a wonderful day and arrangements!★

Reviews: Kinabalu ATV335 | Sabah Kinabalu Dairy Farm Day Trip + Paragliding + Optional Rafflesia Flower Tour (at your own expense)
Guest User2026-01-26
Mount Kinabalu is a must-visit in Sabah. Since it's quite far, it's easier to join a tour group. You can also enjoy paragliding and ATV rides. I bought hay for 2 Malaysian Ringgit to feed the cows. It was a wonderful experience to pick up and drop off cows so close to them for the first time.
