Sandakan / Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre / Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre / Sukau Rainforest Lodge / Kinabatangan River Cruise
Upon arriving at Sandakan Airport, you'll be transferred to the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. Here, you’ll watch an educational video about the orangutans and take a guided walk through the rainforest to observe their feeding at 1000hrs. You’ll also get to see young orangutans in the newly constructed enclosed nursery area.
Next, visit the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre to learn about efforts to protect the world’s smallest bear species.
Afterwards, embark on a 2-hour drive to the award-winning Sukau Rainforest Lodge, an eco-lodge offering modern comforts along the banks of one of Malaysia’s longest rivers, Kinabatangan River.
In the afternoon, enjoy a river cruise, where you'll search for wildlife and birds using a boat equipped with both outboard and electric motors. Kinabatangan River is considered a hotbed of wildlife activity, with opportunities for visitors to spot proboscis monkeys, pygmy elephants, orangutan, hornbills, and more.
Dinner will be a candlelit experience by the riverbank, followed by a presentation and discussion with a knowledgeable naturalist.
