Itinerary
Day 1 Sandakan to Sepilok
Upon arrival transfer to your hotel in Sepilok.
Day 2 Sepilok
Visit the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre to see this little known bear species – named after the golden crescent shaped patch of fur on their chests resembling the rising sun. Continue to the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and observe the morning feeding session from a viewing platform. See the conservation in action and learn about the fantastic work they do helping reintroduce orangutans back into the wild. After, head to the nearby Rainforest Discovery Centre and explore the canopy walkway, nestled high amongst the rainforest tree line. Search for up to 250 bird species and keep your eyes peeled for wild orangutan.
Day 3 Sepilok to Kinabatangan River
After breakfast, depart for the Kinabatangan River. Upon arrival, enjoy lunch at your lodge and head out on a scenic cruise to discover some of the river’s diverse wildlife. This evening, explore the rainforest in search of nocturnal animals.
Day 4 Kinabatangan River
Enjoy an early morning boat trip as the sun rises over the rainforest. Return to your lodge for breakfast and some time at leisure before your second river cruise to search for pygmy elephants, orangutans, and the endemic to Borneo proboscis monkeys.
Day 5 Kinabatangan River to Poring Hot Springs
Today, begin your journey towards Poring Hot Springs, visiting Tagal Moroli River en route where you can enjoy a natural fish ‘pedicure’ and stop at Sabah Tea Garden for a tea tasting before arriving at your hotel.
Day 6 Poring Hot Springs to Kota Kinabalu
Your tour is coming to an end. Opt to stay on in Borneo for a bit longer, perhaps at a relaxing beach resort or visiting another Borneo highlight. Alternatively, transfer to the airport for your onward flight.
Additional Options: Why not combine this holiday with another of Borneo’s extraordinary highlights. For those more active, choose to add on a climb up towering Mount Kinabalu. Alternatively, for wildlife enthusiasts keen to see more of the remarkable flora and fauna, opt to add on a stay in Danum Valley, home to one of the world’s oldest primary rainforests. Please ask your Trailfinders travel consultant for more details.
