About Climb Transport Arrangements
- Should you encounter difficulties in locating our guide, you can call our hotline number/s stated in your itinerary for further assistance.
- We recommend climbers avoid catching their flight on the same day they descend the mountain due to possible delays from injuries, tiredness and/or bad weather and traffic conditions.
- The designated pick-up point is Sabah Tourism Board Building @ Jalan Gaya at 06:15 Hrs in Kota Kinabalu City. Latecomers will have to arrange their own transportation to Kinabalu Park and meet our team before 09:00 hrs for final registration.
- Kindly note that there will be no alternative transport arrangements if you miss the stipulated pick-up time.
- After descending to Kinabalu Park HQ, climbers are subject to a pre-determined pick-up time set by Amazing Borneo Tours with the last transport returning to Kota Kinabalu City latest by 1930hrs. We will ensure your possible wait of not more than 2 hours at Park HQ. However, if you missed the last transport (which is unlikely) or wish to depart at your own preferred timing, we can arrange a vehicle for private transfer for you (Subject to availability). Please understand that the surcharge for any private transfer will have to be borne by you.
- Our group rates are quoted without deviation, which means we provide only one return transfer for your group. Should you prefer a private guide for your group and have pick-up/drop-off at your KK City hotel, please book ABK-MK01 instead.
