Accommodation for the second night is clean and tidy On the third, start climbing to summit and glad to see the first daylight. Then go downhill and have lunch before transfer back to Kota Kinabalu An unforgettable experience

5.00Booked this 3D2N Mt Kinabalu hiking with Borneo Calling. Everything went well from booking till the end of the entire hike. The hike was amazing and everything effort and sweat is worth it. The tour guide, mountain guide and agent were very professional. The only drawback was the government hostel at panalaban which does not provide heater (for shower) though they have informed earlier but I did not expect the water to be icy cold. The room is extremely cold so as the bed as well. Good overall experience and would highly recommend.
Best mountain guide ever

5.00Booked this trip in a rush, 1 day before the climb. But everything went smoothly because of very helpful and quick response management. The best about my trip is my mountain guide Mr Harris, he’s very experienced and encouraging throughout the climb. He will tell stories and always walk on my back taking care of me all the time.
Fantastic tour for 2D1N Mount Kinabalu - Highly recommend

5.00Great arrangement of the tour! From the pickup to the finish of the tour, as a solo female traveller, at no point I felt unsafe or worried about my health. FREENDY, my mountain guide was very kind and patient when I walked slowly and also offered to help carry my things on the second day when I was really exhausted and unable to walk. Overall an incredible experience. Thank you!

5.00It was an unforgettable experience climbing Mount Kinabalu! We were very fortunate to have mostly clear weather during our ascent — just a few short showers here and there, but overall, it was dry and pleasant. Our guide was incredibly helpful, patient, and encouraging throughout the climb. He even doubled up as our porter since there weren’t enough available that day — mad respect to him for carrying a 10kg load up the mountain! He also took great photos for us and guided me carefully when the terrain got tricky near the summit. A few tips for future climbers: Bring a fleece jacket or something warm — the temperature near the summit can get really cold. If you’re prone to altitude sickness, consider taking preventive pills and walk in a zigzag pattern to ease the symptoms. Hiking poles are a great help for balance and support, especially on the descent. Overall, it was a manageable yet rewarding climb — an experience I’ll never forget!
Perfect solo hiking experience

5.00The drivers we had were very helpful and accommodating. Our guide on the mountain was great and he really knew the timing we’d need to make it to the summit for sunrise and then make it to the lows circuit via ferrata. It’s a tough hike but a worthwhile experience!
