Borneo Overland

An Unforgettable Family Adventure with Borneo Overland My husband wanted to do something different with our kids, and that’s how we discovered this incredible tour by Borneo Overland. From the very beginning, the experience was exceptional. My husband contacted Ron Wong, the owner, who patiently explained everything in detail and made us feel confident and excited to join the trip. There were only five of us on the tour, which made the experience very personal and comfortable. We were split across two classic Land Cruiser 60 Series 4x4s, ensuring plenty of space and safety. A crew member accompanied us in our vehicle throughout the journey, giving us peace of mind at all times. To make it even more special, my husband drove the Land Cruiser himself—an unforgettable experience for him. One of the highlights was the Kundasang campsite. Waking up to a clear, breathtaking view of Mount Kinabalu was simply magical. The campsite setup was impressive—rooftop tents fully equipped with bedding, sleeping bags, pillows, and lights, offering a perfect balance between authentic outdoor adventure and comfort. It was truly a lovely and memorable camping experience. The itinerary was very well thought out, allowing us to explore Sabah’s diverse landscapes, from lush jungles to stunning waterfalls. Every day felt exciting yet unhurried. Food deserves a special mention—because it was outstanding. We had a master chef following the trip, preparing hot, home-cooked meals for us daily. Hot drinks were always available, and every meal showcased the best of Borneo’s local flavors. Sharing meals, rice wine, and laughter with the crew made us feel incredibly welcomed—like we were part of one big family. The crew handled everything seamlessly: setting up camp, cooking sumptuous breakfasts and dinners, and taking care of all the packing, cleaning, and logistics. A huge thank you to this amazing crew: Gregory, Ray, Bonnie, and Romero. Special mention to Bonnie and Romero, our dedicated chefs—every meal they prepared, especially at the campsite, was a treat. Ray deserves a very special mention. He was with us in our car throughout the trip and was absolutely fantastic. Ray was an excellent guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly attentive. He shared so much information about Sabah’s history, culture, and landscapes, making the journey even more meaningful. He also took many beautiful photos for our family, capturing moments we will treasure forever. His guidance, patience, and genuine care truly elevated our entire experience. We were also deeply touched by the thoughtful surprise for my husband’s birthday—a cake stored in the Land Cruiser fridge, brought out at just the right moment. It was such a kind and personal gesture that meant a lot to us. It’s clear that Ron Wong and his entire team go above and beyond to create the best customer experience possible, through exceptional food, service, attention to detail, and genuine smiles. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique, safe, and unforgettable adventure in Kota Kinabalu. This trip gave us memories that will last a lifetime, and we wouldn’t hesitate to travel with Borneo Overland again.

Was camping at Bundu That, the views of Mount Kota Kinabalu and surrounding hills are magnificent. It was a lovely experience camping on top of a hill, dinning with friends under the stars and sleeping is the open. The beds are also comfortable, well- equipped with bedding, sleeping bags, pillows and lights. It was a really lovely camping experience. And every crew makes the whole experience special and memorable. Roger and Danny are very helpful crews. The rest are also warm and friendly too. Thank you crews.
