Review for This Activity :

Well organised, easy to keep track with timely reminders for the trip. Good support via chat system to make sure everything is in order. The climb up to summit of Mt. Kinabalu can be tough but well worth it for the breathtaking view! Only negative thing was that there was some power shortage at the the laban rata accommodations and so there was no hot water. Otherwise highly recommended hike! just be sure to train and prepare yourself for the hike.
