Day 1 Sandakan / Myne Resort / Merbau Trail / Afternoon Kinabatangan River Cruise / Evening Kinabatangan River Cruise (The itinerary below is valid until 31 March 2020 only) Pick up from Sandakan airport / Hotel and transfer through the jungle to Myne Resort. As you arrive Myne Resort, you will be checked in to your basic facilities followed by lunch at Myne Resort’s Restaurant. You will be given plenty of time to wander around the resort before proceeding to the Merbau Trail for an afternoon jungle walk. The Merbau Trail is named after the 100 year old Merbau Tree that you will be able to see during your trek. This tree with hole underneath is said to be a hiding place for a villager to hide their daughter during Japanese occupancy in North Borneo. 15:30 Hrs: Coffee, Tea and local snacks will be served, before proceeding for your afternoon cruise down the mighty Kinabatangan River. Get those binoculars on standby for macaques, pig tailed macaques, or even the long-nose proboscis monkey endemic to Borneo. Besides saltwater crocodiles, snakes, bird species and wild orang utans, you can’t possibly leave without spotting some pygmy elephants along the river bank, though it is not guaranteed. Your safari cruise is expected to end at 6:00PM, chasing the sunset along Kinabatangan river on your journey back to Myne Resort. Dinner is at 19:00 Hrs. In the evening, proceed for a Night river cruise to search for the nocturnal creatures! Rest and overnight at the river lodge.
