Find out why 500,000+ travellers choose Amazing Borneo

Had an unforgettable climb with Amazing Borneo. My mountain guide aka porter Ewon was very encouraged and patient, always checking my conditions during the climb, making sure I did not hurt myself and was good to proceed. Also thanks to Lewis, who is very responsive in replying messages and helpful, I was able to enjoy the climb with sufficient equipment, and got my Mt Kinabalu tee delivered from Sabah to SG. Will definitely climb with them again soon in future.

If we could give ten stars to Amazing Borneo Tours we would. We worked very closely with the company to plan a deliver a fantastic five day event for a group of 84 international visitors from 26 countries. The staff who worked so hard were Sylvia Lo, Joel & Tommy. Sylvia was the main point of contact and she is so helpful & responsive. The excellent tour guides were Joel & Tommy. Several people in our group told me that Joel was the best tour guide they had ever met after years & years of travelling. We would like to thank Amazing Borneo Tours for their professional work to enable our group to have a fantastic reunion. They really are Amazing!!

During our tour we visited the beautiful Turtle Island, located off Sandakan, where we witnessed the hatching of turtle eggs and the race to the sea of newborns. At night, we could observe the large turtles laying eggs on the beach. From here, we returned to the mainland to visit Sepilok Park, and then moved to the Kinabatangan River. There, we admired the beautiful wildlife of Borneo, including nose monkeys, macaques, warthogs and free orangutans in the forest. Afterwards, we continued the tour to Danum Valley, where the rainforest offers a wonderful sight that you cannot describe without experiencing it: an unforgettable experience! The guide accompanied us during the trek with great professionalism, demonstrating excellent knowledge of the flora and fauna present in the reserve. Finally, we left for the beautiful Mataking Island for wonderful diving and well-deserved relaxation. We booked our 2024 Tour through Amazing Borneo Tours. The organization was excellently managed by Anthony Wong, our contact person at Amazing Borneo, who advised and helped us in creating a personalized tour. Even during the trip, Anthony was always present with messages to check that everything was going well.

Really enjoyed the whole experience from the start when I started to plan for the tour then until the end of the tour. Anthony was extremely responsive via email when I started the planning. All communication was clear and the payment was swift. We spent 6 days with Amazing Borneo tour from Kuching to KK. Our tour guides Ahmadie, William and Diana were great. All of them were professional, knowledgeable and accommodative. Bako national park in Kuching and also the fire flies cruise in KK were true highlight of the tour. Thank you for such a great service !

We had a customised trip to Sabah recommended and prepared by Anthony Wong (sales person) for 11 days which is excellent and suited us. We took the Mount Kinabalu 3D/2N climbs package; Hill lodge is secluded, has privacy and beautiful view of the mountain, 3D/2N in Kapalai Island and Free and Easy Kota Kinabalu. Amazing Borneo crews are punctual in pick up at each destinations. The mountain guide assigned to us was very patient, friendly and helpful during our climbs. Jack reached to summit, thank to Byron our guide. The Kapalai Island resort is a beautiful and peaceful place to relax after the mountain climb. We had a great time exploring Kota Kinabalu on our own free time. Anthony is also very prompt in answering our queries and providing advises. I would highly recommend him to customised your trips in Sabah.
