About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Dawndhee0 contributionsEpic Mount Kinabalu Via Ferrata adventure with Borneo Calling and Mountain TorqThe climb up Mount Kinabalu was an incredible and unforgettable experience. The views were breathtaking, and even though we encountered some rain, we were fortunate to witness the beauty of the sunrise and I’m already looking forward to climbing again with Borneo Calling and Mountain Torq. Had an incredible experience with my mountain guide, John, on our ascent of Mount Kinabalu. His expertise and knowledge of the terrain made me feel safe every step of the way. Also, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Borneo Calling and the Mountain Torq team for their prompt assistance in recovering my belongings. A special thanks to Mr. William M, whose unwavering support was instrumental in helping me locate my items, which carry great sentimental value. Team efforts truly made a difference, and I am incredibly appreciative of all your help!Written 8 October 2024
- CeliaC17020 contributionsGood arrangement and great climbing experienceEverything was so smooth, from booking, airport pickup, climbing and transfer to city.

- Sightsee247059042370 contributionsAmazing Climb with Borneo CallingTook the 3D2N package with BorneoCalling and absolutely loved it. Everything was well arranged, from preclimb, climb and post climb for Mount Kinabalu. Mountain Guide Jimmy was very patient and friendly, and I look forward to climbing Mount Kinabalu again with BorneoCalling. This is my third climb with BorneoCalling and I'm very happy and satisfied.Written 25 September 2024
- beeeeee0 contributions3D2N Mount KinabaluWe initially booked a 3D2N package for a group of 8. Unfortunately, one member injured himself just prior to the climb and had to cancel. Borneo Calling was able to accommodate by providing credit for a later climb. The weather just before Panalaban and to the summit for us was incredibly windy and misty. We were advised to descent once we have reached the summit to avoid hypothermia. We all made it to the summit and back and have great memories we will cherish forever. Thanks Borneo Calling.Written 20 September 2024
- Roving066937648890 contributions3D2N MOUNT KINABALU CLIMBI booked the 3d2n tour with Borneo calling few months back and submitted the mountain on 9th September 2024. The process was extremely smooth, from booking the trip all the way to the end of the trip. A huge shoutout to all the people who made the journey a pleasant one, the back-end staff, the drivers, the Brave Mountain guides and porters, none of it would have been possible without them. Thank you Borneo Calling for the wonderful experience!Written 11 September 2024
- angel c0 contributions3D2night low peak hikeWe had great experience, smooth planning with borneo calling. Everything is on time and briefing is detailed.

- 760ongz0 contributionsExtraordinary experience with themEverything was great! Except for the unforseen weather, the journey was very tough for us. Other than that, we are thoroughly satisfied with their services. All of the crew members well deserved a praised🙇♂️ Everything was well taken care of for us by your team. Thanks to our transport driver from KKIA , Amin. For his time and introduction about the few places he brought us to visit. Big shout out to our mountain guide, Jemin. He was really being patient with us despite our really slow paces throughout the journey. We really appreciate his company. With his appearance, we managed to reach our destination in one piece. We also liked to say a big THANKS to our driver, Khuzaile, for his time and effort despite us being very late on our arrival at Timpohon gate. He served us hot meals after we arrived at Kinabalu Park. This really touched us as we were so worn off after the long day. Also, a big THANKS for Mei ! For being very attentive to my questions throughout the journey🙏 We really appreciate every service their team provides, and we do really enjoy ourselves during the hike. THANK YOU! 🙏🙏😊Written 30 August 2024
- Global255615727620 contributions3d2n Mt Kinabalu experience from official websiteMy 3d2n via Timpohon> Sayat-Sayat climb was awesome and memorable. Mountain guide Rameo was very experienced, following us all the way everywhere. He did not get annoyed and rushed us while we take breaks, and leave as soon as we say we are ready. He did not disturb us on our hike, and do give us tips, cautions and guidance on our way as a beginner climber. Agent Sky, I believe from HQ, arranged and been in contact with me months before our trip. He was prepared for all my enquiries. Definitely would recommend to my friends about your tour. The stay are clean and cozy. Vans are well maintained. Drivers are experienced, they drove fast but are always safe because we are rushing. We are having issues with our passport and must renew before flying back. Suhaime helped us and bring us to UTC and gave us guidance without getting annoyed. Very happy with their friendliness.Written 25 August 2024

From receiving a text in advance regarding my pick up to meeting my guide and subsequently smoothness in checking into accomodation on kinabalu and summit, there was no delay throughout the whole process. The experience throughout the hike was great as well, food was amazing and guide provided was very experience and helpful.

- yetungn0 contributionsWonderful experience hiking Mount KinabaluWe joined the 3D2N private tour. The staff communicating with me through WhatsApp since the beginning of the booking was very helpful and efficient. Her response was quick and she gave us useful advice. The driver who drove us to the Nabalu village and other sightseeing spots on the first day of the tour was very kind. He shared with us and briefed us about our hike in great details. We lived at Kinabalu park on the first night and Laban rata on the second night. Both accommodations were exceptionally clean, comfy and with great view. On the hiking day, our registration, luggage and everything was well taken care of and was really smooth. A scrumptious lunch was packed for our hike. The mountain guide was also very kind and helpful. The overall experience was excellent😍😍😍. I’d definitely recommend it to people who want to go hike Mount Kinabalu. 10/10 experience (:Written 10 August 2024
- 11riac0 contributionsFantastic experience!My partner and I booked a 2D1N climb up Mount Kinabalu via Ferrata (Low’s Peak Circuit) with Borneo Calling and it was amazing! Our scheduled pick up was punctual (slightly early even!), communication with the tour operator was easy - getting information promptly and knowing exactly what we needed to know to prepare for the trip. Our guides for both the climb and the via Ferrara were very experienced and that gave us a lot of peace knowing we were in safe hands. There was little to no waiting around when it came to transport back to our accommodation after the hike too - we were dead tired by then so that was much needed! Will definitely recommend!Written 7 August 2024

The staff were extremely helpful and friendly too! When I left something behind, and the driver went to the extra mile to retrieve it and send it personally to my hotel concierge.

Great hike made better by having a fantastic guide (Joe Endam). We booked this package much later than most people do (~2 weeks beforehand) and the Borneo Calling team (in this case Mei) were really really helpful in helping us find a slot, look at the different options and getting a place booked.
The car arrived on time to take us to the hill. Once at the hill we were quickly set up with permits etc. and introduced to our guide (Joe Endam). Joe was a fantastic guide who had a lot of interesting knowledge of the hill and it's history, and kept us at just the right pace to climb the summit just in time for sunrise without tiring us out. We would recommend you ask for Joe by name if possible as he was a fantastic guide
The hike itself is tiring but not technical, as it is mostly stairs and a well made route, only the last sections to the summit involve walking on rock face but there are ropes here to help. The view of the sunrise and of the mountain at the top are incredible and worth the hike.
We stayed in the Laban Rata guesthouse which provided fairly comfy beds and lots of food / coffee during breakfast and dinner hours.
Overall very well worth it!

We, 30 over people joined Mount Kinabalu Climb and had a wonderful experience with the tour company (Borneo Calling). This is my first time climb up to Mount Kinabalu and I'm able to conquered it at last! My heartfelt thanks go to my super-guide "Jemin". He's very knowledgeable about the trail; following his foot steps up and down the summit was very useful and safe. In addition, he's very kind, patient and funny guy. Without his encouragement, I'm sure i couldn't make it to the peak. Highly recommended if you wish to challenge yourself for extreme endurance of physical & mental strength
Not to forget to mention the registration process was fast, the driver was punctual, the accommodation was good and the foods are just simply delicious. Thank you once again and also to the majestic Mount KK , you were dumbfounding amazing!! Trusted company! Would definitely recommend to other travelers. See you soon for my next Sabah expedition.

Private group transportation was perfectly executed from picking up from airport to hotel and other destinations. no waiting time as the drivers all were earlier than stipulated time. All the meals provided were more than sufficient with reasonable quality. The mount KK guide arranged for us was professional and helpful and really looked after us even though our team of 5 persons stretched more than 0.5 km to 1.0 km away from each others. the communications between us and the company representatives over WhatApps were clear and prompt. The only inconveniences caused by the organizer was that some documents were requested repeatedly and the time given to make the payment after receiving the invoice was less than 24 hours.

Hello yeesanl2016,
Greetings from Borneo Calling!
We greatly appreciate your feedback. We are grateful that everything went smoothly, including our drivers, the lodge's pleasant meals, the professional and patient mountain guides, and good teamwork from us at our office management.
Also, we are so sorry for the inconveniences that have caused you. We will definitely take note of your positive feedback. The payment time frame is very much dependent on the reservation due date with the mountain lodge, as payment has to be made before the booking is due in order to secure the climbing slots. Your kind understanding is much appreciated :)
Thank you very much for using our services for your adventure! Please do not hesitate to contact us again in the future! :D

We had the best hiking trip ever. The trip was well organised. Pick up and return time mentioned in the iternary is very precise and on time which we never had time where we need to wait. Initially we thought the package quite pricy but after experience the trip we definitely understand and make us feel every cent so worthy!
We cannot say enough of great things about your service. We would definitely coming back again!
Improvement: place the cerificate in clear file, so when we carry the cerificate on our flight home people around us could notice we just climbed the highest mountain in South East Asia. Joke😂 everything is perfect!! Thank you very much!

My wife and I have used the Borneo calling service 3 times. The first time was in December last year where we tried the low peak circuit via ferrata and it was quite a challenging and fun experience. The second and third time we organized a climbing group to Mount Kinabalu for friends who want to climb to the top of Low's peak last June (25-27 June) and this November (9-11 November).
Borneo Calling's service is very satisfactory and very professional. Their drivers are very friendly, kind and very helpful. Thanks to Edward, Suhaimi, Adul and Jon for their kindness and help.
Thank you also to the mountain guide who always looked after our group throughout the climb. Thank you to all the mountain guides who were given the responsibility of looking after our group, especially Conan and Boy (Razak) who often help my wife and I manage the climbing group.
Not forgetting Miss Mei who always helped my wife a lot in arranging the climbing package. Thank you very much.
My wife and I strongly recommend Borneo Calling if you want to climb Mount Kinbalu. They will take good care of you. We will be using their services for future hikes.

It was one of the best Climbing experiences I had. Everything was handled very smoothly. I was dealing with Mei the whole time, and she made the whole experience very smooth for me and my hiking partner, and she also helped me rearrange the hiking slot for my other friend at the very last minute, and when I arrived to Kinabalu park, everything was already taken care of and ready. She has assisted me alot in making this trip a success, thank you so much Mei for everything!
Will definitely recommend Borneo Calling to friends and family, and anyone looking forward to climbing Mount Kinabalu

Everything above 3,000m to the summit - we were rewarded with gorgeous views:) The walk back at the 8km mark was my favourite where I sat for a moment in silence in peace. Sadly you can't spend as much time to enjoy the beauty at such high altitude, as you know you still have a grueling 9 km to go! Last 3 km was painful for most of us. Borneo calling was great because they were more responsive than other companies when we had a short time frame to make a decision to book Kinabalu when slots were booked up. The website had so much information and comprehensive, that I could make a decision within 1 day. The packing details and trail map are great to the point I knew exactly what to bring and not waste time making judgement errors and reduce weight! (Just recommend to make it more clear that you HAVE to summit in order to even do the Via Ferrata option; that the porter rates are round trip; note that ART is required for Kinabalu specifically, if not required for Sabah state as it's confusing for foreigners, and add general average times based on summit to descent as more info is focused on ascent). The WhatsApp helpline is super responsive which is the best part 24/7 as it's faster than email :) Even though I descended more slowly due to an unexpected knee injury, the guides were great to communicate with the company to ensure that I would still get a shuttle even if my group was far ahead. Drivers were always on time. Our group was super happy we all summited and definitely worth ticking off your bucketlist!

We are a group of Sabahan, and it is rare that local person to book a Mount Kinabalu hiking trip thru a tour agency, but we are super happy that we did so with Borneo Calling,
We did the 2d1n Mount Kinabalu Climbing via ferrata - low's peak circuit. Trust me it worth every penny spended.
It was the best experience ever, from booking to the whole trip, it was hassle free.
The respond was quick, attentive and passionate.
Info given are professional, accurate and suits the need
The attention to detail for every guest was amazing.
They shows that we wasn't just another client to them, but they remember us by name.
On the day of climb, all the paper works was properly handle, what we need to do is just waiting to hike.
The mountain guide was super helpful in motivating us throughout the hike, reaching the summit, complete circuits and back to the ground.
All in all, Borneo Calling had spoiled us so well that now, we can hardly arrange another local trip without a tour agency.
If the rating system allows I would have rate 10/5.
Great job, and keep the good works.

We would like to Thank each crew that helps us along this trip.
Alfie
He arrived on time to pick us up from airport. Very good communication and friendly. He even suggest the place for lunch and bring us to the convenience store nearby for us to get some snacks. It was raining after we finished lunch, he make sure we dont get wet where we just wait infront of the restaurant and he get the van to us. Thank you Alfie for your service!
Adul
He helps us briefing upon arrival, settle the registration, make sure we got our lunch pack. Very good communication skill, funny, sharing do and don’t before the hike and even helps us buy mineral water for the hike next day. During registration we literally dont have to do anything because Adul do it for us. We just sit and take alot of photos. Thank you very much, Adul!
Conan
Very professional, friendly, supportive,energetic, knowledgable about the trail. He make sure we were safe and good for the whole 2 days. He keep our pace so we could reach on time for summit but not pushy. In considerate manner, take a break when needed. My sister got injured on the way down from the summit, he supports patiently and safely. Thank you, Conan!
Suhaimi
Very friendly, knowlegable and experienced driver. We literally learnt alot of both Mt. kinabalu and Sabah’s history along the way back from Kinabalu Park to our Hotel in Kota Kinabalu. We were very tired and plan to just sleep but he entertained us with alot of stories we really enjoyed all of them. Thank you, Suhaimi.

During registration we literally dont have to do anything because Adul do it for us. We just sit and take alot of photos. Thank you very much, Adul!
Conan
Very professional, friendly, supportive,energetic, knowledgable about the trail. He make sure we were safe and good for the whole 2 days. He keep our pace so we could reach on time for summit but not pushy. In considerate manner, take a break when needed. My sister got injured on the way down from the summit, he supports patiently and safely. Thank you, Conan!
Suhaimi
Very friendly, knowlegable and experienced driver. We literally learnt alot of both Mt. kinabalu and Sabah’s history along the way back from Kinabalu Park to our Hotel in Kota Kinabalu. We were very tired and plan to just sleep but he entertained us with alot of stories we really enjoyed all of them. Thank you, Suhaimi.

Try Amazing Borneo Tours, I booked a trip on my own which included my own guide and porter and I was able to walk at my own pace. I did the 2day/1night trip.
