    As a first time participant for snorkeling for both of us, it was great to have Bas (our PADI instructor) and Didi (the captain) taking care of us during the day trip at Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. While striving his best to search and introduce the marine creatures to us (especially those we only see from aquarium or National Geographic program), Bas also ensure the safety and the ability of the participants to make sure the group could enjoy the trip to its max! Thanks and we look forward to join orher tours by Borneo Dreams for our next visit to KK!

    Brilliant set up from start to finish. Very well organised. Everyone was super friendly. Saw plenty of monkeys, amazing fireflies and a baby crocodile. ‘Mr Driver’ (Sulani) was really funny, yet very knowledgeable so he kept it very entertaining. Don’t miss out on a great adventure! Definitely do this tour.

    Had a wonderful family trip with Amazing Borneo and visited North Borneo Cruise, Kundasang, and Kota Kinabalu. Our guide Mr Tommy Chan is very friendly, helpful, punctual, and knowledgeable about the places we’re visiting, and provided wonderful service & explanation to us. We visited Nabalu market and had local fruits such as tarap fruit & colorful durians. Tommy also drove us to a local place to buy fresh seafood so bring back to Semenanjung. We are very lucky that we’re able to see 2 blooming Rafflesia. Drive is comfortable and safe and per itinerary. Food is good too. Highly recommended.

    A great day all around. Started with an excellent guide, Vince who took advantage of the lack of traffic on a Sunday allowing us a local breakfast at a local coffee shop followed by a stop at a local beach before we went on our way to the island.

    The island was beautiful with very few people, felt like it was our own! Lunch was also fantastic. The water was a bit murky for snorkelling, though lovely and colourful fish and coral nonetheless.

    All in all a great day! Thanks Vince!

    It was a slightly different experience than described, but this is because of the impact of Covid and hopefully things get back to normal as time goes on. Things are really just opening up for tourism, here. Company did everything right, everyone did a great job and we really enjoyed the river "safari" and were enthralled by the fireflies. Bit of a drive from KK center, but nothing anyone can do about that. Worth it.

    We started off with bad weather when travelling up to Kundasan. Glad the sky cleared up and the view was amazing. The experience was great and the ice cream from the dairy farm was yummy too! Thanks to our guide Hector.

    Easy going, relaxed vibe. We enjoyed our experience, especially at Sapi. The food provided was good and they picked us up from the hotel in the morning. I'm not sure the reason why, but we had to walk back to the hotel at the end of the day. That said, our guide walked with us to make sure we didn't get lost. Very nice young fellow.

    If you want to swim in Kota Kinabalu, this is the right escursion especially for beginners. You may swim only in a restricted area where fishes and corals are very few, unfortunately. The organization is good. May be they can improve in reducing waiting time at jetty

    We had a great time on this trip. I'm a little afraid of deep water so was quite glad the water level wasn't too deep but plenty enough. The rapids were a grade 2 which was enough. We had plenty of opportunities to get out for a swim too which was nice to cool off. Really lovely lunch at the end and overall would highly recommend this trip... lots of fun and the guides were great fun too.

    Wow wow. A very well organised place with lots of history and interaction. From tasting food, drinks to a henna tattoo. This place should be visited by all.

    This tour is a good option if you're looking for an activity from Kota Kinabalu that would keep you busy for the whole day.
    It covers all the main attractions but, if you intend to do some trekking in Kinabalu Park, you won't have time for this.

    We were not expecting a guided tour - nor the obligatory planned transport - having previously visited the Cultural Village at Damai, outside Kuching. So we booked the tour through our hotel, were picked upon a small mini-van and drove out to Miri Miri. The guild es all seemed to be excellent, based on our guide and those we over-heard. The different tribal houses were interesting and sufficiently varied. The additional exhibits were actually in many ways more fascinating - cooking, making alcohol, etc - with samples for the visitors. Lunch was also included and was much enjoyed by all. Well worth the day out, and although we aren’t “tour” people, the level of organisation was unobtrusive and the half day trip very enjoyable.

    We had an amazing day . Really pleased with pick up and drop of at our hotel the Shangrila rasa ria as had read earlier reviews cars were always waiting for us excellent service. Our guide was knowledgeable and ensured we got to viewing early to get best view before it got busy . We went to see the orangutan but have to say the probiscous monkeys were a real highlight for us as so many and came so close. Would recommend trip to other travellers especially if worried about pick ups to airport etc.
