    An absolutely unforgettable experience! A beautiful, yet very challenging hike, which definitely is for the most adventurous and fit among us. Congratulations to the tour operator! Everything was perfectly organized from the pick-up at our hotel, the permits to access the park, the packed lunch, the housing, the certificate and the return to our hotel and - above all- our super caring tour guide Mr. Luke, who took care of our well being and safety throughout the whole trip. We are very grateful to have shared these marvelous days with you. Thank you once again, 5 stars is the maximum on this platform, but is too low to rate our experience. 👍👍😀😀

    Thank you, John from TYH Borneo, for the excellent 3D2N arrangements made for our hike to Mount Kinabalu at a very reasonable fee. We like the comfortable accommodations (Sutera Sanctuary Lodges, Laban Rata Rest House) and good food. Special diet (vegetarian) requests were adequately met. Porter guides were very helpful. One assisted a friend to reach the peak. John also went an extra mile to book a hotel for an additional night of stay in Kota Kinabalu which was not part of the package. The hike is not an easy feat but reaching the peak is fairly doable for those with some hiking experience. Prepare yourself adequately - training, good hiking shoes, warm clothes, rain coat, gloves - all a must. The view is stunningly beautiful especially at the summit. Book early, at least 6 months ahead.

    Np hitches from registration to collecting the certificate. I had a good guide. He knows his job. To enjoy this experience, acclimatisation and hydration is key.
