Kota Kinabalu Tours in Spring

Amazing trip. Fantastic intinerary. So much wildlife. CEO was excellent and so we?re all the local guides. Food was great at every hotel. Another Nat Geo trip of a lifetime.

I can absolutely recommend it. As always with G Adventures, everything is well organised. However, this trip is very physically demanding and should only be booked with the necessary hiking experience and physical fitness.

We are traveling as a family of four with our two girls, 13 and 11 years old for four months. This tour was a highlight of our trip so far. We absolutely loved the animals and the jungle as well as being exposed to the culture and people of Sabah. Our tour guide Nostalia was a fountain of knowledge and took such amazing care of us. The people of Sabah are friendly and welcoming and with our guide as a translator we learned so much more than we otherwise would have.

This was an absolutely fabulous holiday. It had been very well thought out to give us as much exposure as possible to as many aspects as possible of the wildlife of Borneo. The accommodation was good and we saw an amazing variety of animals, birds, plants and insects. The local guides were excellent at spotting things of interest and Sheila, our leader, was one of the best I have ever had, all done with a lovely sense of humour. I'd thoroughly recommend it.

I had a great time. Explore should make it clear in their information that this is not a good time to go to Borneo to see wildlife. We were told by all the guides that we should visit when the fruit is on the trees if we wanted to see animals. As this tour is specifically marketed as a wildlife tour - it was very light on wildlife. In my opinion (and of others in the group) it should be made clear that this is not the best time of year to visit for wildlife. It was disheartening to be constantly told that we would not see various animals during this season. Also, as a wildlife tour, we spent a long time in cities - Kuching and KK. Would have been better to spend more time in the wildlife parks. I don’t think this tour should be sold during the periods when spotting wildlife is unlikely,

Just had a wonderful trip round Borneo with a group of interesting and friendly like-minded people. Highlights were seeing a group of silver leaf monkeys in the trees just above our heads, a pygmy elephant on the riverbank, wild orangutans, proboscis monkeys, rhinoceros hornbills, millions of bats leaving a cave, a leopard cat chasing insects in the road. Wildlife spotting in Borneo is more hit and miss than in Africa - some outings you see loads, others you admire trees, spiders weaving their webs, and the odd macaque, but there is usually plenty to see and very rewarding when you do. It is worth taking good binoculars and/or a camera with a good lens. The local guides in Mulu and Tabin were fantastic, as was one of our two tour leaders. The other was good. There were a few reasons for not giving 5 stars: we were a group of 15, and only one guide was included for wildlife walks - which for night walks was a joke. Anyone not in the first few people in the line saw very little. Secondly, there was a little more downtime than expected in towns. For example, if you didn't do the optional Mari Mari Village trip (which was expensive, but really interesting) then there was little to do in KK. Overall I would thoroughly recommend it - saw some fantastic wildlife, made some new friends.
