About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- j_rgt2150 contributionsClimbing Moint Kinabalu in 2 stagesWalking and climbing up a mountain of 4.095 m needs a good organisation. Amazing Borneo Tour took care of that for the four of us. A sympathic professional guide, all the meals, adventurous overnight stays in park and base camp, a final comfortable farewell night in a classy hotel, shuttle buses. Only the physical effort was for us to do, but the nice views made us forget the it easily (well, some stiffness in the muscles the coming days were our souvenirs).Written February 14, 2025
- pompeywanderer0 contributionsA brilliant day with Rafflesia flowersBooked this tour from the UK, a very straightforward process. We were picked up from our hotel at 7.15 am and then drove towards Mount Kinabalu. Stops during the day were all enjoyable and Diana our guide and Jack our driver were friendly. We were lucky enough to see some Rafflesia flowers too so all in all a great day. Only downside was traffic in and out of Kota Kinabalu.Written February 13, 2025
- HChee20170 contributionsGreat Time in Kuching!We had a wonderful time on this tour. Although we did not see the dolphins and only had a glimpse of the proboscis monkeys (that's nature), we enjoyed the history, food and sights around Kuching. The varied experiences of the boat rides, culture, trek at Bako National Park, caves and the food, were interesting and educational. The guides, Mustapha and Ahmadie were friendly, helpful and so knowledgeable. Thanks also to Anthony Wong, sales manager from Amazing Borneo Tours for arranging this very varied and well-paced trip.Written February 12, 2025
- Martyn19630 contributionsMemorable 3D3N trip to MK & KK!!We had a great time on our 3D3N Mount Kinabalu climb with 1 night KK city stay included. Emily & Felicia from Amazing Borneo Tours took care of all our arrangements so we could just do the fun parts. Could not have wished for a better short break tour to Sabah and conquer the iconic MK mountain. Even very doable for fit seniors like us 🤗. Thank you ABT crew! Would recommend you any time and already looking forward to be back for another trip soon…Written February 12, 2025

Me and my family enjoyed all the activities in the untouched forest. It was really eyes opening experienced. Sabah is beautiful place, will definetely plan another trip to Sabah again !Written February 5, 2025
- Scenic655262834210 contributionsDanum valley Borneo Rainforest LodgeI booked tour with waty, to Danum valley Borneo Rainforest Lodge for 3D2N, she was very nice in responding my question. Well organized trip. The staff in BRL was also nice & polite. Azmi & Juni our driver, was very customer oriented,Nexter our tour guide was hilarious, fun tour. But due to bad weather some of the activities can't be done. Our reception Ina in LD office, FO Estiva greeted & welcome us nicely. The f&b staff, Alias, Irene & all the f&b team was very pleasent. Our house keeping, Sharul & team always keep our room clean. I would recommend my friend to follow for a second trip.Written February 2, 2025
- Wanderer206228054300 contributionsGreat time at Mt KinabaluMy brother, husband and I went on the "3d2n mount Kinabalu climb and Kinabalu park HQ stay". It was a really good trip and Lewis Chak from Amazing Borneo did a great job from our first email exchange. He was attentive and helpful, answered all my questions via chat promptly. Prior to my trip I had an injury which would have prevented my climb but Lewis helped me through the process of appealing to the authorities, finding alternative accommodations etc. In the end I proceeded with the original plan but it was nice to have a supportive agent to help me navigate these challenges. He even gave me local advice so that I could decide where to buy certain items for the climb if I had to. The trip itself was good, the drivers who came to pick us up and drop us off were professional. Everything on the climb was arranged by someone and the trip went smoothly. They have a lot of info online and also on their itinerary about what to pack, what to expect etc. I recommend this tour company for your climb!Written January 31, 2025
- Curious458518929740 contributionsAmazing Kota Kinabalu HolidayAmazing Borneo arranged for a 5days/4nights trip to Kota Kinabalu for our group of 8 seniors. The service provided by the local guide KS Tan was great. He was polite, knowledgable n helpful. He listened to our feedback n even made special arrangements when needed. Our driver, Fadli was a superb driver. Similarly like Tan, he was friendly, helpful n ensure we had comfortable rides. The trip was booked through the Marketing manager, Anthony Wong. He assisted us to put together s package that was an enjoyable & relaxing holiday. He was patient & able to meet our needs with his vast knowledge n experience. I recommend Amazing Borneo for a holiday in Sabah.Written January 21, 2025
- JaniceN4510 contributions5D4N KK tour with Amazing Borneo ToursOur group of 8 enjoyed this leisurely tour. Highlights were the hike up to the Canopy Walk followed by Poring Spring and Botanical Gardens, the last of which where our guide Tan shared with us interesting info on some of the plants, trees and birds. We also enjoyed a sunset cruise on a yacht owned by Amazing Borneo Tours which allowed us spectacular views of the setting sun, while enjoying a sumptuous buffet and watching a live performance. Our tour guide, Tan KS, and our driver, Fadli, were true professionals, responsible, helpful and obliging, going out of their way for little detours/stops to the pharmacy or provision shop or the spa on the way. Both men provided top-notch service in their respective areas, making us feel we were in very safe hands throughout our stay. Anthony was accommodating & kindly approved complimentary additional transport support which we requested for on our last day of tour in KK.Written January 19, 2025
- nassim o0 contributionsMust be doneHave already climb the Kinabalu mountain in 2015. But I had no idea at that time how How much the Kinabalu is full of entertaining (and sad) stories. Special one to William our guide. So kind with my mom, so helpful with my friend and very insightful. And we saw the Raflesia flower. 3 to 4 years of growing up. Just to see it opening for 2 to 3 days! Can you believe it!.. Kinabalu and offspring tour must be done. Just an adviceWritten January 5, 2025
- Meander069610668840 contributionsA disappointing experienceA disappointing experience. After hiring the Semporna tour (€650) for our honeymoon. We found that of the 2 days that they had snorkeling activities, on the second of them, the crew forgot the snorkeling equipment (goggles, fins and tube) . The crew solved the situation by taking a tube and some glasses in the deplorable state they had on board. They told us that we had to snorkel in rounds, first me and then my wife, when our dream was to do it together. The question is: as a company that is dedicated solely to this activity, you can forget about your work team. If we add to this problem that the food they offered us was terrifying and that the crew exchanged 20 sentences with us in 2 days, there is not much more to say. At no time did Amazing Borneo ask us about the evolution of a proportional part of the amount paid for the activity, since the tour includes snorkeling material. We found it incredible that a company of such renown and with such good reviews did not offer us an economic solution to such nonsense.Written December 31, 2024

One thing that really surprised me was the white water rafting they booked us with an amazing guide. The guide was very encouraging to try new things like body rafting and gave us amazing “waves” to ride on. Would 100% book amazing Borneo tours againWritten December 17, 2024

The trip was fun, entertaining and educational and was done in a most relaxed pace with no pressure of time. Our guide Gavin and captain Freddie were most courteous and friendly all the way and you really feel at home with them. Also thanks to Anthony who was very patient and accommodating to my very last minute request for a change on the tour dates. Will definitely tour with Amazing Borneo Tour again. Highly recommended to those still not sure which tour group to go with.Written December 17, 2024

Booking was done directly through the operator website which was fuss free. The day before the tour, the operator WA us to confirm on the pickup time & location.
Richard, tour guide is friendly and approachable. He let us know what to expect on the trip beforehand and he takes care of us well. Although this is a join in group but he will make effort to explain details to both of us so that we get enjoyed river cruise.
Jonathan, the driver (hope I got your name correct) drives steady and well. It is 2+ hour drive from KK city to the location and the road condition is not optimal (quite bumpy due to construction).
The snacks and buffet dinner is quite good. We manage to see the proboscis monkeys, macaques and one silver languor and lots of fireflies.
Overall experience of the tour is 4.5/5. Recommend for people who want to have a first time experience to see the wild without the need for hiking.

It was a relaxing and enjoyable birthday trip for me and my wife.
Anthony Wong had being very prompt in his reply to my queries and guided me in the company website.
The Tour guest, Neil, is very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He will share with you the place to take our meal and buy souvenirs.
He is also well informed of the place we visited. He shared with us the vegetation habitats as we travel along the river in the cruise trip which I observed other boat guests did not. Thumb Up! Neil.
A trip very well organised by Amazing Borneo!

The trip was good and we got to see all the animals that the tour suggested. The bus that we travelled on was comfortable and the food throughout was better than expected. I always love river safaris as it is so relaxing moving down the river looking for wildlife.
While this trip is good and met all of our expectations l, there are better river safari trips in Sabah such as Kinbatangan.
We had a great guide Neil for this trip. He was extra caring and supportive with our young daughter.

We were more than happy to join this Amazing Borneo tour. We were picked up by a mini bus, taken to Beaufort, near Klias Forest Reserve (2 hrs), finally we got on a boat to start our river cruise. We saw many proboscis monkeys and other fantastic animals! Then, a short break, and yet another cruise after the sunset to see the fireflies! We really had a great time.

And fantastic guide, Richard told us many interesting stories about the animals!
We enjoyed watching proboscis monkeys, crab-eaten monkeys, wild birds, fireflies, and baby-crocodile!
Beautiful nature and precious experience, that was Amazing Borneo!!

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 !

I was very impressed with Amazing Borneo! The mini bus collected us on time and returned us to our apartment on time. Everything was well organised and professional but with the Sabahan charm that my daughter and I love so much. We saw lots of monkeys and fireflies. Amazing Borneo has all the right connections locally which made our trip very enjoyable.
I would definitely recommmend AB!

It is unfortunate to say that the (pre-trip) service of Amazing Borneo was very much below standard. They answer emails with extreme delays and were unable to help us book many trips whereas other agencies still were able to help us on these same dates for the same tours.
At first, we were planning to plan our entire trip through Amazing Borneo but, in the end, we only ended up booking a single day trip through them. Since they never replied to our emails, we had to go visit their office in Kota Kinabalu to actually get things done. Their service over there was not much better compared to their online service as they were unable to answer most of our questions directly and after every question we had the person who was helping us had to walk away to check for the answer with her colleague... Did not leave a professional impression.
Once we were on the trip itself, the guide was very friendly and everything was well organized. The pick-up was on time and good. The trip included an afternoon tea and dinner, both of which were great. The river cruise itself (spotting monkeys) was nice. The evening river cruise (spotting fireflies) did not meet my expectations. Personally, I thought the fireflies would be all over the river, surrounding the boat. But in fact, they are just located in 2 or 3 trees next to the river - lighting them up like a Christmas tree. Perhaps that my expectations were too high. One thing which was beautiful (and perhaps even better than the fireflies) were the stars. It's amazing to be on a boat at night, being able to see thousands of stars above you.
All-in-all, a mixed experience. Their (pre-tour) service is very low. The tour itself was well organized and the guide was very nice and professional. Food was good too.
