Head to nearby Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and learn about the fantastic work they do. Walk along the wooden boardwalk through the rainforest to observe these amazing animals in their natural environment and watch their morning feeding session. Continue to the Rainforest Discovery Centre and explore the canopy walkway nestled high into the trees, keeping your eyes peeled for wildlife all around.
