Our experience was amazing! Our room was fantastic, and I think the dorm rooms were just as nice. the food provided was plentiful with lots of options and was delicious, lots of activities to do, brilliant guides, brilliant staff.
We saw all of the big 5! Our guide was so skilled at spotting things - we even got to see an orangutan outside our bungalow! This was definitely a highlight of our SEA trip and worth spending a little bit more on them taking care of you for 3 days. Couldn’t fault it one bit :)

A sense of achievement having climbed 4095m. The gusty chilly wind, the freezing cold, the rope climb closer to the summit and of course the panaromic view from the top of the majestic mountain. Money cannot buy this. One got to experience it to understand. People are generally v nice also. I had an excellent guide who allowed me to walk my pace. He was extremely encouraging.
Olivia was super responsive and this put me at ease. And I had to just focus on my climb. Everything else was taken care of. The ascend was exciting while the descent was painful. Cos I probably pushed myself to complete the descend within 2.5hrs. My quads r hurting now but it should subside in no time.
Selvam Suppiah
The room was clean and spacious. Food was basic but okay, vegatarian Food was prepped seperately so that was really nice.
We were well informed and the organisation was great. The trips were well guided and we got a lot of information about the wildlife and nature in general.
Definitely worth the trip if you plan on visiting this area.
Sam
Der Transfer vom und zum Hotel hat super geklappt
Die Bootsfahrt ist auch ein kleines Highlight.
Das Beste an der Tour war der Guide und seine Leidenschaft an der Tierwelt und der Natur.
Wir hatten an diesem Tag sehr viel Glück und konnten alle Tiere sehen, auch den Nasenaffen.
Tim
We had a great time at Kopel They care about the environment and practice responsible tourism. The guides are young and knowledgeable. It was nice to see the younger generation with a vested interest in preserving and restoring their environment. Our accommodations were clean and comfortable and we saw lots of wildlife.
Robert Pecoraro
Excellent guides who helped us spot the animals. Well organized tours on the river and land. Modern and comfy huts to sleep in. All in all a much better experience than I deared to hope for! The group sizes were quite small and we met a lot of great people.
Vebjørn
The tour was everything! The ecocamp tents are really fantastic and authentic. Thanks for this fantastic journey
Tamas Suto
Outstanding experience, from pick up in Kita to the guiding up the mountain and logistics around it. Definitively something we will be recommending to people visitng Sabah! Seamless experience and great support along the whole journey.
