Had an excellent tour in KK with Jeff as our guide. He’s super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable and relaxed. Everything was well organised, and Jeff went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and having fun. Highly recommended if you’re touring KK!★

Reviews: Desa Dairy Farm + Poring Hot Spring + Mount Kinabalu Observation Desk [Poring entrance fee not included/Lunch included]
Guest User2025-08-16
Ordered the trip via trip.com and the driver arrived at a different hotel. No one called, no one answered our calls. Fortunately, the trip.com assisted with solving the issue pretty well and we went on this trip on a different day. The guide, Ken, was a lot of fun. The trip itself was interesting despite the long distances. We bought yogurt and cheese on the farm, tasted good. The lunch was good.★

I was worried because I don’t speak much English, but our guide Michael was very kind. We had an amazing time in the crystal-clear ocean. Thank you★

Reviews: Sabah Kawa Mangrove Forest Day Trip [Small group tour available | Mosque | Proboscis monkeys and fireflies]
Guest User2025-12-27
I arrived in Yabi in the morning and booked a firefly tour that departed in the afternoon at the last minute. It was a wonderful surprise! The driver picked me up, the air conditioning on the bus was great, and there were even USB charging ports on the seats. It rained when we set off in the afternoon, so we moved two of the sights along the way to the evening on the way back. We saw fireflies in the mangrove forest, and the food was delicious. The children at the pier put on a fantastic show and even shook hands with you – so innocent and adorable! The guide on the boat was also very helpful in attracting fireflies and finding monkeys to guide everyone. The iron flower display, though brief, was also very beautiful.★

Reviews: Sabah Kota Kinabalu Sapi & Mamutik Island Snorkeling Shared Day Tour Includes Lunch & Optional Water Activities
Guest User2025-07-18
The tour guide Tommy is a local Chinese, very enthusiastic, the same tour guide Winston is also warmly introduced, does not force self-funded projects, returns in advance, too tired to give up an island in the afternoon, sign confirmation
The sea was windy, the speedboat set off, the waves were bumpy, but the children were excited,
Snorkeling on the same island can see a lot of small fish. Unfortunately, it rained a few days ago and I couldn't go to Huantan Island and Mermaid Island. In fact, you can buy a ferry ticket to the island at Jesston Pier, and you don't need to follow the group.
Today includes lunch, but it is necessary to gather head, take a taxi to gather.★
