2D1N Mount Kinabalu Climb Print

The climb was way too chill, great, and satisfying. All the arrangements by Amazing Borneo, Ms Sylvia, Mr Tan and Ms Diyana really great, your professionalism is commendable. The given hiking itinerary, mountain guide Mr Ronnie, just fit to our journey and helps a lot! There was free worries, and ensure our journey is complete on time! Thank you Amazing Borneo, you are definitely great! Will definitely share more interest tips with my friends who wish to travel in Sabah in near future! Cheers 🙂

I did a Mount Kinabalu hike with my friend, who suffered from a cramp, but our guide, Mr. Wilson, was very knowledgeable, helpful, and amazing with us all the way.

We successfully completed our climb last weekend, on 12 July 2024. The arrangement was amazing, and our guide, Mr. Bobby, provided constant motivation and was always with us. It was the greatest experience. Thank you, Bobby, and Amazing Borneo.

I enrolled for their Kinabalu hike package and the trip was smooth sailing. They covered most of my logistics needs from KK until I’m back in KK the next day. Huge shoutout to guide Supani and porter Charles; they deserve our million thanks for making our hike much much easier. Not to forget Charles’s effort to snap my pictures. Amazing Borneo, please relay this message to them. Thank you for the Amazing experience #punintended

We booked our 2D1N Mount Kinabalu Trekking Experience with Amazing Borneo only about 2 weeks in advance, but the entire team was quick to respond, gave clear instructions on the documents required, the itinerary, etc. (made easy as they provided access to an online portal), and ensured that we had peace of mind about the trek all the way up to our travel to Kota Kinabalu. Thank you to Lolaa for answering all my questions in a timely fashion!

We were picked up from our hotel near the airport right on schedule and reached the HQ near the Mt. Kinabalu base within 2 hours. Our registration, purchase of porter services and trekking poles, and provisioning of packed lunch were all very seamless. We met our guide, Jackie, and were on our way to begin the trek. Jackie always checked in throughout the 5-hour trek to Laban Rata to make sure we were comfortable and gave us updates on the distance left towards the end when we were getting tired, to keep us motivated. 

Our package included a stay at Sutera Sanctuary Lodges—again, everything was very orderly with clear guidelines on timing for food, electricity, etc. The rooms are non-heated but have all the basic amenities you need to stay comfortable (towels, bedsheets, thick blankets, pillows, etc.). The bathrooms are also clean.

The summit push was great as we were lucky to have good weather with no rain on the way up. Special thanks to Jackie for making sure we were safe, for pointing out the best pathways—especially on the tricky rockface surfaces closer to the summit—and for being patient throughout the entire trek.

All in all, I would highly recommend booking your Mt. Kinabalu trek with Amazing Borneo—you can be assured that the entire team will ensure you have the best experience and leave with happy memories!

Good service. Well organised. Thanks to salesperson Jenniewee and mountain guide Lasius. We had a memorable tour by Amazing Borneo.

We’ve met a very good services guide named Derrie Dolius. He takes care of all of us very well.

Thanks a lot for all the trip arrangements by Joey, the very helpful and supportive mountain guide Jason Safar, and the transport arrangements back to the city. My team has all successfully reached the summit.

The office staff are very helpful and helped book our 2D1N Mount Kinabalu climb. The lady at Mount Kinabalu was very nice and friendly and saved us another packed lunch after our 4095 ft descending climb, which warm food saved my life.

Last but not least, my guide, Arno, is a caring, attentive and experienced guide who knows when to give me a hand while ascending and descending. I am sure without such an experienced guide, we cannot finished our climb at all and already gave up at the very beginning. We are very lucky to have Arno. It is truly an experience to climb. Best Amazing Borneo!

The staff is kind and provides good service. You'll have an amazing experience, and the scenery is stunning. But first of all, you should prepare your knee; it needs more support.

The guide is very friendly n kind

Tatiana, Julie and Amy provided prompt responses and clarifications for all our questions prior to the trip. They were also very helpful when we needed to change our travel dates. The entire 2-day duration of the hike was very well organised with minimal waiting, good food and efficient transport between our hotel and Mount Kinabalu. Our guide, Safrey, was always punctual and very accommodating to our requests while informing us of good photo spots. He also had a wealth of knowledge about Mount Kinabalu, elevating our overall experience and allowing us to learn something new as well.

Tatiana and our guide Safrey were top-notch, answered our questions quickly and made us feel very safe during the climb. Hassle free and friendly, no complaints!

The tour was well organised, and pick-up was always on time. The transport vehicles were never packed with passengers. I enjoyed the trip.

I booked a trip to Mountain Kinabalu climbing package with my friends. It is one of the best treks I've ever taken. The view up there is very stunning. Special thanks to our mountain guide, Andrew. He assisted me to get through the challenging path, support and ensure my safety. I couldn't have done it without him. I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to take this journey with the Amazing Borneo company and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure.

We enjoyed our Mount Kinabalu climb very much. Perfect organization. We had the best guide. Thank you, Jakily. Absolutely recommended.

Our guide Jinus was very helpful, knowledgeable and his communication skills was excellent.

Amazing Borneo took my husband and 15yr old son to top of Mt Kinabalu. 2D1N trip. They had a fabulous time and arrangements ran smoothly. Their mountain guide (Randi) did an amazing job getting them up and down safely. He had lots of local knowledge and was fun to be with. It’s not a cheap trip, but totally worth it, given what’s involved.

The smooth running of tour to time etc. Pleasant people.

Amazing Borneo team was very professional. I contacted them at a short notice and sometimes in the late hours, yet they were able to sort out the arrangement quickly and responded to my message quickly. Ms Natalie was extremely helpful. Vincent - Mr Driver who took us to the mountain and back was very punctual and reliable. Highly recommended the services of this company.

Staff are really friendly

We are very happy to climb with our mountain guide Jonny because he is attentive, trustworthy and very good in handling the tour.

Me & my 2 friends booked 2D1N mountain climbing package. Carol, was very helpful throughout the booking process till the climbing day. Our mountain guide, Mr. Indra - wonderful and kind person. Definitely will return again for next adventure with Amazing Borneo.

I went on a 2D1N Mount Kinabalu climbing trip from 13/1 to 14/1 and would like to give a shoutout to my amazing mountain guide, Jakily, for being so patient and helpful throughout my entire climb. Thank you so much!

Overall not bad experience during the climb. With the help of mountain guide, i manage to climb up to the peak, very proud of it. Desendent will more though that i expected. Booked package with a value price, no doubt.

Unforgettable Mt Kinabalu Climb

Tatiana, Julie and Amy provided prompt responses and clarifications for all our questions prior to the trip. They were also very helpful when we needed to change our travel dates. The entire 2-day duration of the hike was very well organised with minimal waiting, good food and efficient transport between our hotel and Mount Kinabalu. Our guide, Safrey, was always punctual and very accommodating to our requests while frequently informing us of the best times to meet and good photo spots. He also had a wealth of knowledge about Mount Kinabalu, elevating our overall experience and allowing us to learn something new as well.

I did the Mount Kinabalu climb, and it was excellent. Waty was the person who organised the trip and explained everything in a professional courteous manner. Very well organised and I would strongly recommend it.

Just came back from my 2D1N Mount Kinabalu hike with Amazing Borneo. Very impressed with the quality of service, we booked really late and they were all accommodating and very prompt in their response. We felt very well looked after from the first pick up to the last drop off.

Most importantly, the trip was nothing without our wonderful guide Danson Bulangai. I 100% would not have made it to the peak of Mount Kinabalu without Danson's fantastic hiking tips, advice and encouragement. I can say without a doubt everything I know about hiking I learnt from Danson. He was also incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make our hike a really fun, enjoyable and memorable experience. We came down late from the mountain and Danson coordinated our arrival with our accommodation and also organised dinner with Amazing Borneo.

All I can say is listen to your guide and you will be fine! Best still, ask for Danson when you are booking, he will try his best to get you to the top no matter what your fitness level.

Our climbing journey was amazing and fun thanks to the great service provided by our mountain guide. They were very skillful and knowledgeable in making the journey safe and enjoyablee

Zeeron is our mountain guide for 2days1 night. He is very helpful from the beginning till the end, friendly and very well prepared (water, muscle cramp spray and etc).. 5/5 rating!

Very organised.

A fantastic experience, everything was well organised from the booking to the drop off at reception, to the completion of the formalities. It was a tough ascent, especially as I am no spring chicken, but made it ok to the lodge, which was comfortable and served plenty of food. Then there was the final ascent to the peak at 2.30 am and I was one of the first to make it to the peak. The person I really want to thank is Byron, my guide, who was so kind and patient with me. I’m not sure I could have made it without him. He knew before I did that I needed to rest, he also knew when to push me on, and he nursed me through the really tough moments (which paradoxically were when descending). A big, big shout out to him. It is something I will never forget.

Amazing Guide/Porter. The tour group was responsive. May have some delays in response due to reception up there but rest assured they reply to every of your enquiry.

Sarah the person that we Whatsapp with organizing this was insightful and the lady that met us there (I forgot her name) was amazing at her explanation.

A big thank you to the tour guide, he helped to send my daughter back to the hotel due to sickness unable to proceed the climb. Beside that, i would like to praise our mountain guide for his calm and fast respond during the climb when my leg suddenly cramps. He did pay attention to whether we keep up with the pace. At last i able to climb to the top peak of Mount Kinabalu. Recommended book tour with Amazing Borneo by my cousin, satisfy with the service.

At Sayat Sayat, I heard my name being called and Ronny my man was there. He still remembers me. So so nice of him. If you wanna go fast, go alone. If you wanna go far, go with Amazing Borneo.

You are amazing. Good team. We recommend you with pleasure.

Thanks for your Mail. Of course climbing Mount Kinabalu was a great experience.

Great arrangements from the mountains to the islands. Best experience with Amazing Borneo Tours & Events.

Emily organises and plan for our Climb to Mt K and also my family getaway while I climb. Everything was taken into consideration from transport to meals to timing was perfect. All contingencies was also plan for eg delay in arrival back from climb, etc. etc.
Eddy fetch us from airport, arrange our dinner and check us in at almost 11pm at Kinabalu Park. And back to airport with perfect timing on our 5th day.
The ever friendly duo, Julie & Neavilla arrange our pre n post hike patiently and ensure everything is in place.
Carl our guide was so patience and pace us to perfection. We reach Laban Rata by 1.40pm (longer rest) and summit at 5.45am. At a pace that we are so comfortable with.
Fikri arrange our post hike. And even took care of my family by sending them to their hotel first in KK Town knowing that we may be late descending down. This by the way was his own initiatives and making sure that they are comfortable.
Richard brought us to our Island hopping and patiently entertain 5 limping warriors with muscle ache the after effect of Kinabalu hike.
When you wanna bring family and friends to an adventure and a holiday and you wanna feel safe and to be sure that everything will be taken care of, AMAZING BORNEO is the answer. This is my third trip with them from work related, Family climb and Climbing with friends all has been very very pleasant. Emily has been my contact person for all my trips. She always goes the extra mile in her planning and providing choices and money worthy trips.
But overall you can see and feel that AMAZING Borneo staff in whatever capacity and roles make that extra effort to ensure you are safe and comfortable. Thank you to the team in AMAZING Borneo. I may have missed some names (I'm sorry) but AMAZING BORNEO is AMAZING!

Meticulously and well-thought itinerary. Everyone’s safety and well-being were well looked after throughout the entire trip. Trip included a 2D1N trek to the summit of Mt Kinabalu. This was a first time experience for some of us but Julie, Neavilla (pre-hike arrangement) and Carl (guide)ensured the entire process was smooth. Special mention to Carl’s guidance through the track. He was always watching out for us and paced us consistently to the way up and down. Eddie and Fikri were punctual and proactive in securing all transport arrangements. Post-hike Richard took us to a half-day island hopping. He gave clear instructions and followed us througout the trip. A short and fulfilling break that was made possible by Richard. Overall, I’m impressed with Amazing Borneo. You can confidently book your trip solo, friends or family trips. Highly reliable group of people.

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 whats app. The hassle free arrangment 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.

Had a great climb with amazing borneo. Easy to communicate regarding the details of my trip. Hats off to my mountain guide, Carlance Sulidan, who went above and beyond in taking care of me, a solo hiker. Eventhough I wasn't able to do my via ferrata, he encouraged me countless times that I was able to reach the summit and be back at the jump off without any injuries. Would recommend Amazing Borneo for your Mt Kinabalu climb.

Reassurance of trip with emails & texts - well organized

The climb to Mt. Kinabalu is really a great challenge ad very god experience. Overall booking processes and service attitude from all your staff and mountain guide are very pleasant, very good, fast response. Whole journey is quite smooth except that we are completely exhausted after the climb ! However, we enjoy a lot the nice scenery, beautiful flowers, wide variety of plantations along the walk.

Thanks for your email. Just wanted to say that my experience with your company was absolutely brilliant. Right from the booking stage to undertaking the trek itself, everything ran so smoothly. My guide Johan was really great as well and set the exact right pace. I will certainly recommend Amazing Borneo tours to friends and family. My feedback is keep up the good work!

Carlotte Gregory was my contact person She arranged everything fr A-Z. Every question I had during planning was replied promptly. I had some special requests and all requests were met. All things were precisely arranged from pickup onwards. Thanks Carlotte.

The mountain guide (Jusli) allocated to us was perfect. We had such a great time with him. We wanted to know much about the mountains and its fauna and flora and he had a strong knowledge on nature, maybe as part of his training. Keep up the good job.

A 14 years delayed journey....grateful that am able to fulfill this dream. Truly a humbling and unforgettable experience. Am very thankful to @theadibesa for accomodating me on his 3rd ascend and for his advice and assurance throughout the entire KK trip.

Thank you for the AMAZING hospitality by every single staff from booking, transportation, guide and advices. Rose, Nevilla, Fikri, Arno and Silvester. 

Majestic Kinabalu...

Thank you for the arrangement. Good experience for the first time climb Mount Kinabalu. Is a big challenge to people like me not a climber. Although unable to reach the peak, but is also satisfy that i tried my best to archive something. Skillful and helpful mountain guide to lead us.

We have recently completed this hike and it was amazing. Our calves are still recovering after the strenuous climb but it was a great experience. Our guide Cedric was absolutely fabulous. Highly recommend him!! Food at Laban Rata Resthouse was great. Although our view at the top was cloudy it was an all around great experience.

Carlotte from Amazing Borneo Tours has helped us organize and book a fantasic trip to climb Mount Kinabalu for my boys, 5 and 9, and myself. Everything was smooth and easy, from selecting the dates to finalizing the trip and payment. Carlotte replied to all my questions promptly and we had the best mountain trip ever. The staff on-site help swiftly with the registration and hiking permits. We had two guides who knew the mountain inside and out, and we felt safe all the way. My kids had a great time learning from the guides about local wildlife, traditions and, of course, the mountain. Highly recommend to consider Amazing Borneo Travel!

Amazing Borneo Tours did an amazing job. Hoping to get back there in 3-5 years from now. I'll be doing the via-ferrata soon.

My recent hiking trip with Amazing Borneo was an absolute highlight of my travels. From booking to hiking to the guide, everything was top-notch. I highly recommend Amazing Borneo to anyone seeking an adventure of a lifetime. Thank you, Anthony Wong, and the entire team at Amazing Borneo, for making this journey unforgettable. I can't wait to return for another incredible adventure!

Waty and Anthony Wong were very prompt in their assistance with my queries. Highly recommended. Will travel with Amazing Borrneo again if I visit Malaysia.

We had a memorable time climbing Mt Kinabalu from 20-21 July 2023.

We're writing to commend Dingo, our mountain guide. He carried out his duties as a mountain guide dutifully. He is attentive and accommodating to our needs. He's extremely helpful in guiding Kale down the mountain. Without his help, Kale would not have been able to make it down the mountain on time and safely! To top all these, he's a good photographer as well!
