Our guide Adrian was fantastic - he's clearly extremely knowledgeable about the rainforest, but didn't over play it and managed to make everything interesting and fun.

Being included as though we were family was largely due to the relationship Jason, our tour guide and Gavin, our driver, had nurtured over the years. It was through them that enabled us to partake in the Rungus communal lifestyle unpretentiously.

We especially liked Syahfil, who took us on the tour of Kinabalu Park and Poring Hot Springs. He was so knowledgeable about the whole area, plants and animals.
