Had a great experience with Smart Borneo Travel & Tour. Everything was well organised and smooth. Special thanks to Mr. Wan for giving the best service. Very friendly, helpful, and professional throughout the trip. Highly recommended!
Had an Amazing 5D4N sabah trip.I booked our trip after going through Smart Borneo Travel and Tour’s profile and customer reviews. Initially skeptical, but the way Akmal handled all my enquiries with patience and clarity gave me the confidence to take up their package. Ayu was very responsive and ensured we were well informed before and throughout the trip. We travelled as a family group of 14, including kids and seniors, and the arrangements were very well handled. Our drivers cum guides, Mamat and Hafiz, were professional, friendly, and reliable, making the journey comfortable for everyone. Thank you, Smart Borneo Travel and Tour team for providing such outstanding service, Highly recommended for Sabah trips, especially for families.
Me and my wife spent 4D3N in Kota Kinabalu and Kundasang. The trip was so enjoyable and we got to do most of the highlights! Our driver from Smart Borneo, Syabre is very nice, clean, thoughtful and punctual!! He knows a lot of stuff too so you can rely on him if you got any questions 👍🏻👍🏻
Had an amazing 4D3N trip to Sabah with my husband, all thanks to Smart Borneo! Everything was super well-planned, from the airport pickup to the daily activities, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Our tour guide, Wan, was honestly the star of the whole trip. He was friendly, punctual and really knew how to make every moment exciting. He shared so many interesting stories about Sabah, brought us to the best spots, and made sure we were always safe and comfortable. We explored beautiful islands, enjoyed stunning views, and had the best local food recommendations. The entire experience felt smooth, relaxing, and memorable. If you’re planning a trip to Sabah, I totally recommend choosing Smart Borneo and definitely ask for Wan as your tour guide! He made our holiday extra special. 💛✨
We recently booked a 4-day van service with Smart Borneo Travel and Tour Sdn. Bhd. during our trip in Sabah, and we are truly grateful for the wonderful experience. Our driver, Mamat, was exceptionally professional, friendly, and reliable throughout the journey. Mamat ensured that we travelled comfortably and safely, always punctual and very familiar with the routes. He shared useful local insights, recommended great spots, and made the entire trip smooth and enjoyable. His patience, warm personality, and excellent service really made our Sabah experience even more memorable. Thank you, Smart Borneo Travel and Tour, for providing such outstanding service, and special thanks to Mamat for his dedication and hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone travelling around Sabah!
Sepanjang trip kami di Sabah selama 4D3N, ia merupakan satu pengalaman yang tidak akan kami lupakan. Terima kasih kepada Abang Syabre (driver) kerana sentiasa menepati masa, dengan pemanduan yang selamat dan tidak tergesa-gesa, membuatkan kami rasa sangat selesa walaupun sepanjang perjalanan yang jauh. Selain itu, Abang Syabre juga banyak berkongsi cadangan tempat-tempat menarik, termasuk pemilihan tempat makan dan spot bergambar yang cantik. Paling best, sangat senang untuk request dan berbincang dengan Abang Syabre untuk pergi ke tempat yang kami inginkan. Terima kasih juga kepada driver yang lain kerana sentiasa menghiburkan hari-hari kami di Sabah. Dan terima kasih banyak kerana belanja kami makan durian di Kundasang hehehe 😆. Overall, the service provided was excellent and highly recommended to everyone planning a trip to sabah. Don’t forget to request abang Syabre as you driver ! Heheh😆
We signed up smart borneo during Matta fair. We have total of 9 pax . Hence, we decided to rent driver with van for our 5 days KK + Kundasang ground transportation.Mamat, our driver who is local has been very helpful and share us the story of KK along the journey. His service is superb and all of our destination requests are fullfilled. His suggestion on certain tourist spot helped us avoid any early disappointment. Wish smart borneo can keep up their good job !!!
Wan was a great tour guide throughout the trip — friendly, punctual, and easy to get along with. He knew all the good photo spots too, so taking pictures was effortless. Definitely the best guide who made the trip more enjoyable.

Pengalaman dengan Smart Borneo Travel memang terbaik! Terima kasih banyak sama tour guide kami, Hafiz, yang ramah, pandai jaga semua orang, dan bikin trip jadi enjoy. Memang recommend kalau mau bercuti di Sabah!"
Great tour experience! Hafiz was friendly, punctual, and made the trip enjoyable.
"Awesome Trip Thanks to Our Driver, Mamat! We had a great time in Sabah, and a big part of that was because of our driver, Mamat. He was super friendly, easy to talk to, and really helpful throughout the whole trip. What we really appreciated was that he never rushed us from one place to another. He let us enjoy each spot at our own pace, which made the trip feel super relaxed and stress-free. Honestly, without a good driver like Mamat, the trip wouldn’t have been the same. Highly recommend him if you're planning a trip to Sabah!l"

How do I get to Kundasang from Kota Kinabalu?
It takes about 2 hours by car. You can self-drive, hire a private transfer, or join a day tour provided by travel agencies like us.
Is it safe to travel around Sabah?

Can I use eWallets and online banking in Sabah?
Yes, most places in Sabah—especially in Kota Kinabalu and popular tourist spots—accept eWallets like Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, and Boost, as well as online banking transfers. However, if you're visiting rural areas like Kundasang or the islands, it's a good idea to carry some cash, as internet connection and payment options may be limited.
