Climbing to the top of Mt. Kinabalu was the coolest experience I've ever had, and I think the price and experience booking through Seek Sophie were well worth it. The hike is definitely not to be underestimated; you need everything listed on the packing list, especially warm clothes. Once I booked the trip, Olivia reached out to me to give me more details and collect all the information needed. She was extremely knowledgable and also helped give advice for the rest of my trip on Borneo! The driver for my trip, Rashid, was fantastic. And my trail guide, Jiro, was amazing. It was just me so it was a very different experience than it would be if you were with a partner or a group. Everyone was very professional, and I always felt taken care of. I wouldn't highly recommend adding on the night at the Poring Hot Springs, but it was nice enough since it was in the area. I went the day before my hike, but it might have been better to have it the day after. Highly recommend this excursion!

Booked: 2D1N Mt Kinabalu Summit | Regular Route **Free Night at Poring Hot Springs

Was great from start to finish. Kai our guide picked us up from the airport and was brilliant. He went above and beyond in making sure we had a great trip. We were able to see all of the caves and the bat exodus was a personal highlight. The pinnacle climb was very challenging but very rewarding. The only problem I have with this experience is that the Seek Sophie website does not stress the difficulty enough. The pinnacles climb is a high risk activity and a very challenging climb even for advanced hikers. Please research more into the climb before you book this tour, as I feel the level of risk is not clearly stated in this advertisment. The pinnacles should not be advertised as a hike. It is a climb. We also learned that the youngest age to climb the pinnacles is 16. This is not stated on Seek Sophies website. I want to stress that Kai made us feel very safe and that this negative is purely to do with Seek Sophies advertisment for the tour.
