From the start till the end, the customer service has been fantastic. Anil was very welcoming and friendly during the pick up and drop off. Our guide for the whole trip, Filipi was very knowledgable and experienced. He took good care of us and kept our spirits high with his dad jokes 😅. And the food was delicious! Loved the variety of veggies served for our meals. 😋 would highly recommend booking with them.

I booked a 3 day 2 night trip for 4 people on Mt Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. Seek Sophie were perfect. Their friendly driver met us at the airport, unbothered by the flight delay. I was expecting to be consolidated with other people arriving but we had the minibus and driver all to ourselves, also on return trip to town. This meant we could stop off on request for snacks. All handovers to other parties - hotel, mountain lodge, mountain guide, Via Ferrata, were flawless. The first night hotel, Pine Resort, was a great way of settling in before the 6 hr hike to the mountain refuge. Recommend stay here rather than start super early from Kota Kinabalu which is 2 hr 15 mins away. Extra hours sleep are what you need. We booked the extra Via Ferrata activity near the summit. In the end, only 2 out of 4 of us did it. The lazy ones decided the extra 2 hrs rest meant more to us, and went back to rest in Pendant Hut refuge. The energetic ones hung off iron ropes and loved it.

Highly recommended. One of the best tour group I have ever joined. The whole experience is seamless and fun. Food is great and the caves are amazing. Tour guide is engaging and professional. The climb to the Mulu Pinnacles is especially rewarding and the view at the top is nothing but spectacular. They even arranged a room for me to get a shower on the last day after the trek before I catch my flight.
