Excellent

My overall experience was very good. The trip was well organized and our CEO was resourceful, helpful, and entertaining, I think that the information provided gave a relatively accurate description of the trip and its level of difficulty and comfort and the level of fitness required. Most importantly, I learned a great deal about the peoples, customs and places we visited, things I did not know at all prior to the trip,. Our exposure to apes, monkeys, and elephants was outstanding!

The Borneo trip was absolutely incredible and I've made memories to last a lifetime. I can't recommend it enough if you want an adventure with wildlife and hiking. Our CEO Shirou was amazing. I'll be booking with G Adventures again.

Excellent

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.

Great tour that shows the highlights of Sabah. Borneo is an underrated country that more people need to discover. Highly recommend this tour!

Very Good

Mt Kinabalu climb will test you. Climbing in the dark and the rain was definitely a challenge I could not fully anticipate, but the satisfaction of completing it was immense.
