Reviews

CORIN HARRISON 13/01/2024

We were very impressed with the full service and i cannot think of anything that could be improved upon. The Walk-the-Torq was a little pricey for a tame hour of 'climbing' but everything else was very satisfactory. Many thanks.
ALBERTO LASHERAS 13/01/2024

Honestly, it was a great experience alltogether. The booking process was fast and easy, and Ms Sarah was very helpful. The pickup and transport to the park and back was on time and confortable. The guide was great and all the rest on the tour was really a great experience.The only bad thing is the pain I still have in my knees from the climb hahaThanks for making the experience great.
AINI SARAPON 13/01/2024

Staff are friendly & love it so much.

I'm very happy with my purchase with Amazing Borneo Tours. The booking experience was excellent and convenient with Judith. She was quick to respond to my inquiries and proposed an interesting itinerary for my stay.

We are very satisfied with our climbing experience at Mount Kinabalu with our mountain guide Jinus. His helpfulness, great communication skills and knowledge made our journey better.
Clayton Lee 31/12/2023 Malaysian

A last minute decision to trek Mt KK and able to secured the slot within 3 days confirmation. The company is professional via email and WhatsApp. The hassle free arrangement make the trip perfect. Able to guide by experienced mountain guide Mr. Carl who had done more than 1000 treks over the period of 15 years. Look forward for next trek in Amazing Borneo.

Regards, Clayton Lee

Mt guides were happy, knowledgable & friendly.

Planned an extremely last minute trip for a great 2 day 1 night Kinabalu Climb with Via Ferrata Walk the Torq. Shoutout to the teams over at Amazing Borneo Tours, Sabahtravel.com and Sabah Parks etc. for organising the trip/s for travellers and hikers an extremely memorable one, at least I did and even exceeded my own expectations!

The climb was extremely hectic but rewarding with the beautiful night milky way and summit views. I have also had a surprisingly warm and comfortable stay at the Pendant Hut, and the food is also pretty nice. Luckily they have prepared food with dietary requirements too, like a vegetarian myself! If you appreciate nature and the people behind all the operations, the money is definitely worth the spend! Everything went flawlessly and seemed very well prepared.

Special thanks to Reza, Joey and Neavilla for their excellent accommodating services; To drivers Gavin, Joel and others; And to others whose names aren't mentioned under the Walk The Torq, the accommodation and the kitchen services etc.; And of course, the guide Kenny my man (also misremembered as Gavin, Gabriel, Henry and Harry, true story) for his guidance, advice and stories on culture and the mountain.

Overall, I thank you for all your hospitality and will definitely recommend them to others!

가이드 하시는 분들이 친절하셨고,
썬셋크루즈는 흥에겨워 함께 춤도 추었으며, 음식이 맛이 있었어요

단순님은 친절하셨으며,
날씨 조차도 우릴 도와준 느낌이었다.

We were very happy with the trip and the arrangements made. All the people involved were very friendly, helpful and accommodative.
Jeannine Tan 07/12/2023 Singaporean

Did the 2D/1N plus Via Ferrata with Amazing Borneo in Nov ’13.

Picked up and returned to my hostel. Provided with a packed lunch consisting of a sandwich, piece of chicken, boiled egg, apple, and 500ml bottle of water. Our group (5) were given a guide each, that all spoke reasonable English. We were given a reasonably informative tour on the way up, however coming down it became apparent that my guide very clearly wanted to get home, and kept urging me to continue on rather than wait for the others in the group. Aside from that, it was amazing to trek to the top for the sunset and sense of achievement. Accommodation at Pendant Hut was nice, with sleeping bags provided, however the showers aren’t heated. Take altitude tablets with you, the headache is no fun. Unlimited photo opportunities, and the food provided at Laban Rata is delicious. Beers are MYR25, and that’s a warm can of Tiger.

An amazing experience.
