Our trip to Mulu with Tropical Adventure Tours and Travel was fantastic. Everything exceeded expectations; from the caves to the Pinnacles climb. Our guide, Phillipi, was excellent. We enjoyed the wonderful jungle atmosphere, on the hikes and at Camp 5. The Mulu Marriott hotel is also very much recommended.

Wonderful climb of Mt. Kinabalu with River Junkie. Excellent service. Our guide Cy was great.

Booked: 2D1N Mount Kinabalu with Via Ferrata (Walk the Torq)

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!
