Review Body: Headed off on time, our guide Jillian was amazing, helpful, kind with wonderful local knowledge. We stopped and were guided through 2 different markets and a mountain lookout. We were able to purchase different fruit to taste. Good to go on a Thursday or Friday for full markets. Had heaps of photos taken at cute and fun photo sites for 10 rp each. Lunch was delicious at a small local restaurant near Hot Springs. We viewed the butterfly house, botanical gardens and a nearby waterfall where the fish nibble your feet and finally to the hot springs where the water was very hot. Cloudy, mist rolled in and huge thunderstorms raged for 90 minutes without rain. Saw raffalesia flower for 30 rp and had coffee in a restaurant made of old buses. Fabulous day.

Review Body: Though it was lovely to see Mount Kinabalu this is the most overpriced trip I have ever experienced. +£300 for 2 adults and 1 child to sit in a car for the most of the day.

Review Body: Did the "Advanced" mountain bike tour with Wilson and already followed us with the car!
Super friendly people!
The tour was unexpectedly spicy for us in some places but Wilson is patient, let you ride up at your own pace and give useful tips!
In addition, you get an abundance of information about the surroundings, strange food and background info about the country and the people.
Wilson is clearly having fun in what he does!
Surroundings are really great and the "tapping" of rubber is a nice experience!
In the end, a great lunch!
Mountain biking??? Sure do with the organization of Wilson!!
A real recommended!
Thanks again Wilson and already for this fantastic experience!
Greetings Frederikus and gerda

Review Body: Thanks for a very interesting day to Auther Trekfinder :)
We were picked up at hotel at agreed time and had a very pleasant drive to the mountain with lots of interesting information on Malaysia culture and history. Then mountain biking (mostly downhill) but also 4 times crossing rivers on suspension bridges.... Visiting local rubber plantage for refreshments - really interesting an authentic experience. Then biking again - nice lunch and river rafting (not that wild) down river to pickup point and then by car back to hotel. Once again thanks for a very nice day Auther!

Review Body: It takes 2.5 hours to go to Kinabalu park by minivan and need to be patient to the bumpy road. But no other way to see the beautiful Kinabalu Mountain and feel the thrill in canopy walking. We were also lucky to see a wild rafflesia flower blooming. The guide was very friendly and kindly explained the details both in English and Chinese. I enjoyed the tour so much.

Our hike to Mount Kinabalu won't be that smooth if not because of them.
Highly recommended for hiking trips in Borneo!
