Scenario of your tour
By 6.00 am, you have to be ready at the hotel as that is the appropriate pick up time for you to leave for Kota Kinabalu International airport for your flight to Sandakan. Upon arrival at the Sandakan airport, you will be transferred to Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation centre, the world largest sanctuary. There you can see how the rangers rehabilitate the Orang Utan to return to their habitat. According to the rangers, some of the Orang Utans are rarely seen while others make occasional visits to the centre and at the feeding platform. Watch their naughty acts as they try to snatch each others food. Also watch the scheduled video documentary show at the Sepilok Information building. This 20 minutes video show gives you an insight of the Orang Utan rehabilitation process and its threats to survival.

After your morning affair with the Orang Utan, you will depart overland for a two hour journey to Sukau. On arrival, you have to check-in at Proboscis lodge before you will have your lunch. In the late afternoon, your tour will proceed to the Menanggol river cruise, a tributary of Kinabatangan river in search for wildlife including the unique Proboscis monkeys, hornbills, kingfisher and many others. The Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary is one of the best places in Southeast Asia to observe wildlife. After the cruise, dinner will be served.
