Enquire NowDay 1: Sandakan Arrival – Sepilok Nature Lodge (SNL)
Your expedition begins with a private greeting at Sandakan Airport, followed by a transition into the lush, lakeside gardens of Sepilok Nature Lodge (SNL). After a lakeside lunch, walk into the ancient forest to witness the profound work of the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre.
As dusk falls, the forest transforms; join an expert guide for a Night Walk at the Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC). This is a rare opportunity to seek out nocturnal specialists like the Giant Flying Squirrel, Slow Loris, and the elusive Western Tarsier within the primary forest shadows.

Day 2: The Vertical Forest & The Bat Exodus
Awaken to the symphony of the ironwood forest. This morning is dedicated to the RDC Canopy Walkway, where you traverse a 347-meter bridge 25 meters above the forest floor for a bird's-eye view of the canopy life. Following breakfast, we depart for the Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary to witness the specialized feeding of Borneo’s unique "Old Man of the Jungle."
After lunch in Sandakan town, we journey to the limestone monoliths of Gomantong Cave. Experience the raw power of nature as millions of bats spiral into the dusk—a spectacular sight often targeted by circling raptors. Return to the resort for a final celebratory dinner by the lake.
