Sandakan Airport / Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre / Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre / Rainforest Discovery Centre / Sabah Hotel
Arrive at Sandakan Airport and meet your guide before heading straight into Sandakan’s wildlife heartland.
Your first stop is the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, where you will witness the morning feeding session at 10:00 Hrs as semi-wild orangutans make their way out of the forest. A short presentation at the Nature Education Centre offers insight into the rehabilitation journey of these endangered primates, followed by a walk along the rainforest boardwalk to the feeding platform.
Continue to the nearby Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre, where rescued sun bears roam within forested enclosures. Learn about their behaviour, threats, and the conservation efforts in place to protect the species.
After lunch at a local restaurant, spend the afternoon at the Rainforest Discovery Centre, exploring elevated walkways, botanical gardens, and forest trails that showcase Sandakan’s rich plant life and bird species.
As the day winds down, enjoy a seafood dinner at a local restaurant before transferring to Sabah Hotel for your overnight stay.
