Your adventure begins with convenient pickup from Sandakan or Sepilok before heading to the world-renowned Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, where you’ll witness young orangutans in the Outdoor Nursery and learn about conservation efforts.

Continue to the Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary for an up-close encounter with Borneo’s uniquely charismatic long-nosed primates.

Then return to Sepilok for the afternoon orangutan feeding session, offering another chance to see these gentle forest dwellers.

Finally, wander through towering treetops at the Rainforest Discovery Centre, complete with its famous Canopy Walk—an ideal place for birdwatching and soaking in peaceful jungle views—before being dropped off at your hotel or the airport.

This full-day Sepilok wildlife tour is perfect for nature lovers, families, and travelers seeking an enriching, educational, and memorable Bornean rainforest experience.
