The sunsets in Malaysia are truly world-renowned and absolutely stunning. Our tour guide also directed us to see the animals and helped us find the best viewing spots. The whole experience was very comfortable, and the price was reasonable with great value for money.★

Reviews: Desa Dairy Farm + Poring Hot Spring + Mount Kinabalu Observation Desk [Poring entrance fee not included/Lunch included]
Guest User2025-08-16
Ordered the trip via trip.com and the driver arrived at a different hotel. No one called, no one answered our calls. Fortunately, the trip.com assisted with solving the issue pretty well and we went on this trip on a different day. The guide, Ken, was a lot of fun. The trip itself was interesting despite the long distances. We bought yogurt and cheese on the farm, tasted good. The lunch was good.★

Reviews: Kinabalu Park, Poring Hot Spring & Desa Dairy Farm Shared Day Tour
Guest User2025-11-29
We had Jeff aka Mr Handsome as our guide. He was v responsible and contacted us a day before w details abt the tour. Jeff has excellent communication skills and is sensitive to the needs of the travellers. He made a slight change due to the weather and bcos of this we avoided the jams. He is very experienced and you feel v assured and relaxed throughout the whole trip. I could not find anything that really needs improving(maybe the potholes). One of the most excellent and knowledgeable guides we have come across through our many decades of tours. He never stops learning. I will not hesitate to recommend Jeff. We got to see our rafflesia and the desa farm was brilliant. The small hike at poring springs was enjoyable! Tqvm for a wonderful day and arrangements!
