Queries on Cameron Highlands tour cost

Aisha Qazi asked this question:

Hi Raymond

Came across your blog whilst searching for info on Cameron Highlands. I'mplanning on going the weekend of National Day around 7th to 10th August. Ithink I will do the 9 hour bus ride from singapore. I'm interested in the freeand easy package tour you went on, how much was it and how far in advance didyou have to book it? Is it worthwhile going on a proper tour with a guide orbetter just to explore yourself? Do you get breaks for food on the 9 hour busride? Did you come across any budget accommodation whilst you were there or isit all hotels? Many thanks

My answer:
Hi Qazi,Your name looks familiar. Have you been to Genting highlands at end 2008?I can't exactly remember how much it cost, however I went off peak season andbooked our package with Grassland Express. You going on Singapore's National Day which is a long weekend and could be considered peak, it will cost more. It is better to have a proper guide to explain to you the history of CameronHighlands which is enriching. On your own, I doubt you can get proper transport to ferry you from place to place. And places of interest are not walking distance.On our trip, we stopped at Yong Peng, Johor for a toilet break and refreshments.it is about 1.5 hrs travel from Tuas second link. After that we stopped at Brinchang for breakfast since we left Singapore at night. We stayed at Hotel Equatorial which on top of the hill beyond Brinchang. There are some resorts at Tana Rata which cost less. Hotel Equatorial is a good hotel and of reasonable price and I recommend it.Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks
Raymond

Hi everyone,

Huang Jinwen of Singapore wanted to know the following:

Hi,

Saw ur review about ur trip to cameron highland.

Actually i was planning a trip wif my gf for this coming sep or maybe nov.

So wanna check wif you, total how much u had spend for the whole trip and how do you book for ur coach? Cos i went online check for Konsortium tour, they only have excutive coach but not SVIP.

Another concern is which hotel u stay in? and how is the review and price?

Hope to hear from u soon

Tks and rgds

Jinwen

My answer:

Hi Jin Wen,

Thanks for reading my review. Did you see the blog or the website? If I remembered correctly it was in the range of S$250-S$300 for per person at Hotel Equatorial, 3D 2N stay. We enjoyed the stay there and the breakfast is good. We booked day tours at Cameron Highlands as Konsortium did not offer them. SVIP is the double desk coach right? Our trip there and back are on one desk executive coach.

If you are ok, I will post this Q&A on my blog.

Thanks
