About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 568sulemanm0 contributionsAmazing jungle trek, with spectacular KL viewsAmazing trek in the jungle, found some beautiful insects along our trek, the guide was also friendly and knowledgeable, he told us various stories about the place and the history of Malaysia, he also took great pictures of us! The view from the wedge was also spectacular, you can see the whole city and on the other side the lake which is the water supply for KL.Written 17 July 2024
- 232flol0 contributionsA perfect way to start the day in the green surrounding KLThis trail is really nice and only a 20-minute drive away from the centre of KL. From the moment I booked, communication with Ben has been impeccable. He is really knowledgeable about the region and a great trail partner to have! The view is simply amazing from up there and the local breakfast at the end was an unexpected special treat! I will go back for sure on my next business trip to KL!Written 25 May 2024
- 359carriee0 contributionsFun family hikeOur family (with 8 and 10yo kids) had a wonderful time hiking Dragon Back with Ben! Ben was quick to pick up on our interests and abilities, adjusting and tailoring the experience for us. We had good conversations, and he shared insights into plants, animals, and Malaysian culture/society while hiking. He was friendly and patient with our kids when they stopped to examine “one more” crystal over and over again. The hike itself was beautiful— jungle forest, rocky quartz ridge and ledges, steep at times. As we hiked, we saw monkeys, saw a huge stick bug, and heard gibbons in the distance.Written 13 April 2024
- bradrL4193MT0 contributionsBeyond the snake sign!Great morning with Ben! Hike and timing were perfect. Quick snack on the way back topped off the excellent morning. Views were excellent. Time well spent. A KL top 10! Thanks Ben!!Written 8 March 2024
- irfansG7424RX0 contributionsGo for it!We booked this trip last minute with Ben and we do not regret it. Ben was a great guide from start to end. He picked us up, took us to the hiking point, then to breakfast/brunch and dropped us off at the Batu Caves. He was well equipped and we felt safe in his hands. Thanks for a great hike/tour!Written 27 February 2024
- WJLyons0 contributionsBrilliantGreat experience with my 10 year old son. The track was challenging enough such that it was rewarding but not arduous. Scenery was spectacular, jungle was phenomenal. Ben was an exceptional guide. Extremely knowledgeable about the environment we were in and offered some good insights about KL and Malaysia along the journey. Really well organised.Written 15 September 2023

I enjoyed all the tour. It was such a beautiful place to get on a bike. Beside the tour, Ben is also a cool guy with whom you can have a good conversation and talk about everything you want. I got even insight into the Malaysian traditions and the "must-know-about-Malaysia". I would recommend that tour. You will see Malaysia from the other side - not just from Kuala Lumpur, but also from the nature point.

Outstanding. In addition to the ride, he was able to make sense of Malaysian culture to a degree I never would have imagined. Sorry for all the questions Ben!

This is my second time doing this ride with Ben, this time I brought along a couple of friends and they loved it as well
Ben has been running these adventure tours for 12 years and he’s developed a great package. He can adjust the ride to accommodate cycling experience and challenge you if that’s what you want.
Pick up and return to your hotel, a great breakfast and lunch and a riding experience unlike any other.
Highly recommended 👍
