What Climbers Are Saying

1. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Conquering the highest peak of all Southeast Asia is not an easy achievement. But neither is it impossible. The biological and geological terrain throughout the journey is enough to flip your brain but the view from Low’s Peak is the ultimate grand finale. Mount Kinabalu is indeed a big deal, so book with confidence, and worry not about the details. Fuss-free planning, easy breezy booking and top-notch service, these guys got your back."

6. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Amazing 2D/1N expedition to hike Mount Kinabalu. Everything Amazing Borneo organised went smoothly (itinerary, food, pick up/drop off) and the climb itself is an experience I’ll never forget! I can only say my legs might have been sore, but my heart was full. It’s the best way to admire Borneo’s wild and spectacular nature and easily the highlight of any trip for outdoor lovers/hikers. Special thanks to our guide Safrey who made us feel secure with his calm demeanour and vast knowledge of the mountain. He is kind and a remarkable athlete - he truly helped us enjoy our big 15-hour hike to and from Borneo’s highest summit!" More Justine, Canada 🇨🇦
7. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I have recently completed a 3D2N Mount Kinabalu hike from 1st to 3rd September 2024, and I am incredibly grateful to Amazing Borneo for such a well-organised and memorable experience. This was my second time booking with Amazing Borneo, and the service was exceptional throughout. From the smooth booking process with Mr. Lewis on the WhatsApp helpline to the seamless logistics from the airport to Kinabalu Park HQ, everything was handled flawlessly. Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed by Ms. Julie from the Amazing Borneo operations team, setting the perfect tone for the hike. I would like to especially highlight my mountain guide, Mr. Joel Sanan, whose professionalism and passion truly enhanced the experience. My mountain guide’s calm and reassuring presence made all the difference, especially during the more challenging parts of the climb. His support wasn’t just physical — offering a helping hand when needed - but also motivational, as he constantly encouraged me when I felt fatigued or discouraged. His frequent reminder, “Cuba dulu, kalau tak boleh, kita patah balik,” (Try first, if it’s not possible, we’ll turn back) was incredibly comforting. It was reassuring to know he had my back without ever pressuring me. His attentiveness to my well-being, checking for signs of altitude sickness and helping with my gear, was invaluable. Additionally, I had asked my mountain guide to take several pictures and videos at the Summit. Despite the cold, windy conditions and the difficulty of handling equipment with gloves on,he took out his gloves and helped without hesitation or complaint. His willingness to go the extra mile ensured I leave with beautiful memories captured on camera, for which I am truly grateful. For anyone considering the Mount Kinabalu trek, I found this mountain guide Mr. Joel Sanan’s professionalism and passion to be invaluable, and I’m confident others will find him just as exceptional. With regards to accommodation - I stayed at Pendant Hut at base camp. There was a fellow hiker who became ill and vomited, but the staff at Pendant Hut immediately cleaned up the area without any complaint and later checked on the hiker’s condition to ensure he was recovering well. Their compassion and attentiveness in this situation truly impressed me and reflected the care they extend to all their guests. To me, it was truly an Amazing Borneo. I highly recommend to all my friends and family members. Thank you for the incredible experience." More - Mandy P., Malaysia 🇲🇾
8. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "We took the 2D1N MOUNT KINABALU CLIMB package with Amazing Borneo Tours. Thank you to their staff Joey for her kind assistance all the way from our enquiry process, booking process and tour arrangement. The booking process is systematic as we need to key in our details in their online system. The arrangement of our whole Mount Kinabalu Climb is superb! They arranged transport to send us to Kinabalu Park HQ on [the] first day and take us back to hotel on the second day, which made less of a hassle for us who [were] already tired after climbing Mount Kinabalu. They also arranged a 4-bed private dorm for 4 of us at the Panalaban Base Camp." More - Dickson Lee, Malaysia 🇲🇾
9. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "We were so glad that ABT managed to secure for our group (7 adults + 4 under-16s) 4 very experienced guides/porter. They were not only professional, but also very patient with us. On the ascent we had Safrey leading the group, with Rony and Agustine taking care of the laggers. My wife and I started to drift behind after the 3.5 KM mark. We must thank Rony & Agustine for their patience and helpful guidances to be able to reach Laban Rata Resthouse with still some daylight to spare. @2:30am - journey to Low's Peak @ 4,095m. Again me & my wife were the last to reach the Sayat-Sayat checkpoint (luckily before the cut-off time 5:30am). From there on, Rony, our mountain guide, was constantly by our side, urging us to take the next step and not give up. We definitely owed it to him for the successful summit. Though we missed the sunrise at the peak, the view was still spectacular. That's not all folks! Climbing up was just half the journey, and climbing down was definitely more challenging than climbing up! It took my wife more than 10 hours to reach Timpohon Gate from Laban Rata Resthouse while the rest of the group took about 4 Hours. This time round, we were lucky to have Safrey and Agustine at the back with us. Again, their patience and continual encouragement were greatly appreciated." More - Hanif, Singapore 🇸🇬
