Sandakan, Malaysia is a busy harbour city, centred at the entrance to a beautiful, island-studded bay. The city boasts excellent seafood and interesting strolls, but true adventure begins when you leave the city behind to explore the rivers, jungles and volcanic landscape that make Sabah truly "wild." Take a private Sandakan tour and discover Borneo's legendary wilderness with a friendly local guide.
Take a boat trip along the Kinabatangan River and search for proboscis monkeys, brilliantly hued birds, crocodiles and elephants in the region's forest reserves. In the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Center you can witness the magical giant apes up close in their natural habitat. Offshore from Sandakan city are the famous Turtle Islands, where visitors are able to snorkel or scuba dive to view rare marine turtles.
Your Sabah guide can offer a range of once in a lifetime experiences, and customize any itinerary to suit your personal travel interests on your private Sandakan tour. |
