our 2D1N trip with the guided river cruise tour was excellent, we have a great group of people having the tour with, very skilled and easy going, nice tour guide,(Azizie) who explained very detailed about the animals out there, we saw a full herd of elephants enjoying themselves in the river, Hornbills, crocodiles and other birds and little snake during the night cruise. Our favourite was the early morning cruise, beautiful lights, good weather. the double (private) room is outstanding, we love that, i recommend it if you prefer comfort and private own space instead of sharing the same room with others- which im pretty sure a satisfying experience here at Greenview lodge, as well. Thank you for the staff as well for having us with good care. Highlight of our trip for sure.

The 3D2N Kota Kinabalu Borneo Overland Expedition Trip exceeded all my expectations. From the very beginning, I was impressed by the meticulous attention to detail and preparation from wrapping vehicle seats to providing thoughtful amenities like personal toiletries, wet wipes etc. Ron Wong, Roger and Gregory, along with the entire crew, displayed exceptional professionalism in planning and ensuring our comfort throughout the trip.
Despite challenges like the power outage on the first night, the team worked tirelessly in the wet weather to set up tents and prepare meals, showcasing their dedication. Special appreciation goes to Denny, whose boundless energy and impressive photography skills helped capture memorable moments for us.
I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this well-organized and unforgettable journey! It truly 5 star service and I strongly recommend Borneo Overland to anyone seeking exciting outdoor adventures.

Was camping at Bundu That, the views of Mount Kota Kinabalu and surrounding hills are magnificent. It was a lovely experience camping on top of a hill, dinning with friends under the stars and sleeping is the open. The beds are also comfortable, well- equipped with bedding, sleeping bags, pillows and lights. It was a really lovely camping experience. And every crew makes the whole experience special and memorable. Roger and Danny are very helpful crews. The rest are also warm and friendly too. Thank you crews.

I had a great time on the 3 day KK expedition with 8 others. We were split across 3 Land Cruiser 60 series 4x4s.
The Kundasang campsite was amazing, with a clear view of Mount Kinabalu to wake up to in the morning. Food was amazing, thanks to the work of the crew Frendsy, Mansah and Gregory.
Activities involved white water rafting, hiking and swimming in waterfalls. These were a great way to break up the driving and cool off.

This is a must-experience in KK. From the breath-taking sunset experience to the warm hospitality of the captain and his crew. This yacth sailing experience is definitely one for the books! This was my most memorable experience from my first visit to Malaysia and I can't wait to come back. Shout out to Joel the captain and Brendan-my new found brothers aboard. 🍻Thank you Mawali Aventure and Tours! Love from the 🇵🇭😎

We wanted to end our holiday in Kota Kinabalu on a high, and Mawali Sailing manages to do that. Joval was patient in handling our inquiries and gave us the confidence to booking the private charter with them. The service was excellent. We were picked up on time. The crew and Captain weee very friendly. Captain was also very attentive and customized our itinerary. The fees included the non-alcoholic beverages on board. Beer and wine were extra but were very reasonably priced. The boat was clean and very well maintained. The sunset BBQ surpassed our expectations with the yummy food. Thank you Mawali. Hope to sail with you again!

We had a really nice day on the catamaran. There was a good atmosphere on board and the service was top notch. We had more than an hour to snorkel and paddle board in the beautiful water, where we were the only boat. The sea was clear and we saw many beautiful fish, including clownfish. Lunch was served on the deck, where my family and I sat and enjoyed life.
This trip is recommended if you are tired of mass tourism and although it costs a lot of money, it is worth it👍
