I booked this trek six months before our summit date, which happened to be my birthday. After considering various operators, I chose Borneo Calling, whose reviews indicated it is an emerging company dedicated to providing excellent services to their clients. Mei and her team were indeed responsive and helpful, guiding me through the paperwork, and payment. The anticipation and excitement finally culminated when my family of four arrived in Kota Kinabalu and was greeted by our driver, Arip. We made the two-hour drive to Pine Resort in Kundasang, with Arip stopping midway for us refill our water supplies and food at a large supermarket along the way. Checking in was a breeze, and the mountain view from Pine Resort was spectacular. The steamboat dinner had more vegetables than meat, but the broth was tasty. Mei sent WhatsApp to inform us of the pickup arrangements to the Park's Entrance the following morning. We were met by our guide, Mr. Nizam Laukang Abdullah, who made a significant difference to this arduous expedition. With over 30 years of experience in mountain climbing, he provided excellent advice and showed tremendous patience and encouragement throughout our climb and descent during the night. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to him. It is wonderful guides like Nizam that make Borneo Calling a great company to be reckoned with. Postcards are also provided free by Borneo Calling to be delivered from the Highest Post Box in Malaysia. Last but not least, I am grateful to the Mountain Torq team for celebrating my birthday in the Pendant Hut. The warm birthday song & card, complete with a delicious milo-jelly-cake made me feel so blessed. The bonds and feelings will become cherished moments. Thank you to the Borneo Calling and the Mountain Torq team for this amazing experience. Borneo Calling will be my first choice should I come back to Sabah for other activities in the future. Highly recommended!

Amazing hike up Kinabalu. It sure is tough and we deliberated over the expense - but it is worth it for the reward at the top (and you see why it’s so expensive when the porters carry everything physically up the mountain to base camp!) Borneo Calling were great - really responsive, prompt and good communication and our guide Lawrence was great and very patient and attentive. Thanks so much!

Borneo Calling are the people to go to for an experience you will not forget. From day one the communication and arrangements were spot on, answering all our questions on for the climb, Sky and the reservation team will see to all your pre hike questions. Our driver Alfie filled us in on Kinabalu briefing us on what to expect on the hike. Once at the start of the climb Khuzaile sees to all arrangements, a nice and pleasant guy to talk to. Calling Boneo out did themselves thank you guys, our team enjoyed the whole experience. Thank You Borneo Calling!

We thoroughly enjoyed the trek and had a great experience with Borneo calling. 🙏. They have got a great team from the van drivers to guides to porters to coordinators…really appreciate.Special mention to our Agent Mei who promptly replied to all our queries and made us feel comfortable, Guide Harri who was supportive and patient. Thank you Borneo calling for giving us such a memorable experience. Highly recommend.

Thank you Mei (Reservation Department of Borneo Calling) for your follow up service and dedication to our Singapore Team ! We were pleased with the service provided by Borneo Calling, especially The Mountain Guides Mr Nyong and Mr Azhar who always with us along the journey , they are very caring and helpful . Cheers and will strongly recommend your company to our circle of friends if they want to Hike Mt Kinabalu Sabah. Thank you once again ☺️

Everything was arrage nicely, less worries. Thanks to our mountain guide, really taking care of everyone! Have a good climbing experience with Borneo Calling!

The arrangement was seamless from the very beginning, starting with my inquiry all the way through to the payment process. The pick-up time was punctual. Harris 'Datu' Gimbad, the mountain guide assigned to us, provided exceptional service. He encouraged me along the trail to keep moving forward, even when I was running on fumes. His support was instrumental in helping me reach the summit. Needless to say, the view at the top truly took my breath away. All efforts going up to the summit were all worth it.

I recently completed the 3D2N Mt. Kinabalu climb with the Via Ferrata Low’s Peak Circuit, and it was an unforgettable adventure! The climb itself was challenging but rewarding, and the via ferrata added an extra thrill to the experience. A special shoutout to Mei, who was incredibly friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout the trip. From answering all our questions before the climb to ensuring everything went smoothly on the mountain, she truly went above and beyond. Her enthusiasm and professionalism made the journey even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this experience for adventure seekers.

The tour agent provided excellent and attentive service, and the driver was very punctual. I booked the package alone, only needing to purchase my flight ticket and book a hotel. Upon arriving in Sabah, the driver picked me up from the hotel as scheduled. The assigned mountain guide was also very professional. This three-day, two-night trip left me with many wonderful memories. Highly recommended!

Very reliable and accountable. Communication were smooth, transportations, guidelines all good ! I enjoyed it very much and will use again your service ! Thank you !

The hike was challenging but the amazing views and journey made it all worth it! The steps were bigger than I expected (while hiking down) and because I was smaller in size, it was slightly tougher. Borneo Calling (BC) was very efficient in answering our questions on the hike before the trip and it was very well planned. BC sent over comprehensive guides and packing list to make sure we are prepared for the hike which were super helpful! Had a great experience with our awesome guides, Azizi and Sukri. They were also holding the roles of our porters up and down the mountain (super amazed how fast they can climb), and they are very friendly and also very experienced on the climb (Azizi scaled the mountain since 2011 and Sukri have done it for 8 years). I had muscle cramps during the hike to Laban Rata and both of them stayed behind to ensure I was fine before moving on with me. Thank you for guiding us and ensuring our safety through the journey! Would’ve never done it without you guys. Captured some of their photos with the nice view on the way down from the summit.

I had a wonderful time climbing Mt Kinabalu and completing the Via Ferrata! Sam was my mountain guide, he would wait when I needed a few mins rest and was super chatty throughout so we got to know each other well! I did the Via Ferrata with William and he was very instructive and made me feel confident to complete it! 10/10 experience and would do it all over again!

The mountain guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and supportive throughout the climb. The expertise and encouragement made me and my son feel safe and confident, even during more challenging parts of the ascent. The breathtaking views from the summit were worth every step even though without sunrise view.

Borneo Calling Tour is the best, A to Z info and arrangement get well prepared. The staff and driver very nice and friendly. The accomodation and transport very comfortable and nice. Mountain guide professional, encourage my daughter when she was going give up nearby🏔️Summit, finally achieve the Summit, give her have a memorable experience . Strongly recommended Borneo Calling Tour, they provide u the Best service, the file for the certificate is nice too, thanks👍🇲🇾

It was amazing!!! We had so much fun. Borneo Calling could not have been more helpful, from the time of booking the tour to even beyond getting down the mountain, thank you very much Sky. It was a tough climb and descent but so worth the challenge. To get the most out of your hike you need to do steps, steps and more step training. Don’t carry much in your day bag, as the porter will carry your other bigger bag. We were very lucky with the weather, a bit of rain but not too bad. Walk the Torq was the best decision we made. Such an amazing experience. Thank you Alain, our mountain guide, for being with us every step of the way. Thank you also Handry (Mountain Torq) for reassuring us and being our “wing man”. Terima kasih / Asante sana / Thank you.
