About Climb Transport Arrangements:
| 1 |
Our friendly guide will greet and meet you at the Airport arrival hall or your Hotel lobby with a placard bearing your good name. Should you encounter difficulties in locating our guide, you could call our local ground handler who will assist you. |
| 2 |
We do not recommend you to catch your flight on the same day that you descend the mountain due to possible delay from injuries, tiredness and/or bad weather and traffic conditions. |
| 3 |
For 2 days / 1night packages, our transport will pick you up from your Hotel between 06:30hr - 07:00hr. (Arrange with your hotel for early breakfast) |
| 4 |
For packages starting from 3 days / 2 nights, our transport can pick you up from either Airport OR your Hotel. Time is dependent on your arrival flight schedule. Please provide us your flight details. |
| 5 |
For transport pick up from Airport on day 1 after 18:00hrs, surcharge for late night airport transfer to mountain area may apply. |
| 6 |
Add RM30nett per person per way for transport to/from locations outside Kota Kinabalu city (e.g. Nexus, Rasa Ria Resort). |
| 7 |
All transportations are based on Seat-In-Coach. This is a transfer service in which clients share their vehicle with other clients. This is a door-to-door service with multiple pickups & drop-offs throughout the journey. Do expect some short waiting time. |
| 8 |
After descending to Kinabalu Park HQ, climbers are subject to pre-determined pickup time set by Amazing Borneo Tours with the last transport returning to Kota Kinabalu city latest by 18:00hrs. 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. |
| 9 |
Private Transfer Surcharge:- RM 250/vehicle/way |

Our group rates are quoted without deviation, which means we provide only one return transfers for your group. If your group requires more than one return transfers, additional transfer charges may apply. |
Important Note For All Ferrata Climbers:
| 1 |
Climbers MUST present their original passports/IC for climb registration at Kinabalu Park HQ on the actual day of climb. Please bring it along with you. |
| 2 |
Climbers MUST attend the compulsory Ferrata briefing/training session in Pendant Hut between 15:00hrs-16:00hrs(Latest Cut-off time) on 1st day of climb. |
| 3 |
Climbers MUST descend & arrive at starting point by 07:15hrs for the activity (Latest Cut-off time). |
*Ferrata climbers who fail to comply with the timing will not be able to proceed with the ferrata activity. However, please do not rush or be disappointed should you not be able to make it on time. Safety comes first, as you can still reach the Low’s Peak summit without going through the Ferrata activity.
