Private 2-Day Sandakan Jungle Adventure Tour with Cruise

Your adventure begins with a warm pick-up between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM from your hotel in Sandakan or Sandakan Airport, where your guide will welcome you to this exciting Private 2-Day Sandakan Jungle Adventure Tour with Cruise. From here, set out on a scenic 40-minute drive through lush rainforest landscapes and local villages towards one of Borneo’s most iconic wildlife sanctuaries. Arrive at the renowned Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, nestled within the Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve. After registration, follow a shaded boardwalk through dense tropical foliage to a feeding platform. Here, witness semi-wild orangutans in their natural habitat during their morning feeding session — a highlight for anyone on a Borneo Orangutan Tour or a wildlife tour in Sabah. Next, step inside the Nature Education Centre to watch an insightful documentary about orangutan conservation, followed by a visit to the Exhibition Hall to learn about forest ecosystems and rescue efforts. Just a short walk away is the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre, home to the world’s smallest bear species. Observe these shy creatures foraging and climbing within their forested enclosures. After this immersive wildlife experience, savor a traditional local lunch at a nearby restaurant before continuing your journey to the Kinabatangan River — the longest river in Sabah and a prime location for a Kinabatangan River Cruise Tour. This region is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and bird watchers, renowned for its remarkable biodiversity, including ten primate species such as proboscis monkeys, macaques, langurs, orangutans, and even the elusive western tarsier. Upon arrival, check in to your charming 2-star jungle lodge. Enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea with local snacks while your nature guide briefs you about the wildlife you’re likely to encounter on your river excursions. At 4:00 PM, embark on your first Kinabatangan River Cruise Tour. Glide through serene river waters, passing mangrove-lined banks and towering jungle trees. Watch for wildlife activity along the shores — from playful proboscis monkeys to vibrant hornbills and sly estuarine crocodiles. This guided wildlife tour Sandakan offers outstanding photo opportunities and intimate moments with nature. As dusk falls, return to your lodge for a freshly prepared dinner. Spend your evening soaking in the jungle’s sounds, perhaps spotting nocturnal creatures like civets or owls. Rest overnight in your neat and clean, 2-star jungle accommodation — the perfect base for your Sabah Wildlife Tour.
