These attractions offer meaningful encounters with orangutans, sun bears, and the rich biodiversity of Borneo’s lowland rainforest.

The river’s dense jungle and winding channels provide excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing and photography.
The journey concludes with a visit to Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary, where you can observe these charismatic long-nosed primates up close. Blending nature, wildlife, and a cosy rainforest stay, this itinerary offers an unforgettable Borneo wildlife experience from one of Sandakan’s most beloved eco-lodges.
