Sandakan

The Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, the Rainforest Discovery Centre, the Kinabatangan River, and the Sandakan Memorial Park are must-visit attractions. These locations offer a diverse range of experiences, from wildlife encounters to historical insights.

However, the rainforest is always lush, and wildlife can be spotted year-round.

Taxis and ride-hailing services are readily available in Sandakan for getting around the town. For exploring the surrounding areas, such as the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and the Kinabatangan River, it is recommended to book tours or hire a car with a driver.
