Booked: 2D1N Kinabalu Climb | Summit & Walk the Torq (Via Ferrata)

We had an incredible 2-day hiking trip at Kota Kinabalu, all thanks to the fantastic team from River Junkies. Oyo ensured we traveled safely and comfortably, Effrey expertly guided us to the summit with great encouragement, and Eddy took us off the beaten path, revealing the mountain’s hidden gems and a truly magical forest. Their professionalism, knowledge, and passion made this adventure unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an amazing outdoor experience!

Booked: 2D1N Mount Kinabalu with Via Ferrata (Low's Peak Circuit)

The hike is hard for an ordinary 40-year-old-used-hike-in-my-20-ties type. We needed a good three days to recover from sore legs. Be very award of altitude sickness and use some days before the climb in 2000-2500 m. to get used to the air. The experience was well organised, the guides are nice and the contact Oliva is amazing on WhatsApp.

The trip was very special, well organized and every person involved was extremly friendly. It was obvious that they are working with a lot of passion. Seek Sophie is therefore the perfect place to book a trip to the sumit of mount Kinabalu. The climbing can be demanding, especially the descending, but it is so worth it. We can recommend this trip!
