See Borneo’s icons in 2 days. Sleep in lush rainforest lodge
Most 2D1N trips in Sandakan focus purely on staying along the Kinabatangan River for back-to-back river cruises. This one is different. You stay in Sepilok - right next to Borneo’s most important wildlife sanctuaries - so you get both conservation insight and a proper river safari, without committing to a fully remote jungle lodge. It’s ideal if you want a well-rounded introduction to Borneo, with easier logistics and a more comfortable rainforest base.You’ll visit the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre to watch rescued orangutans return for feeding, and the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre to see the world’s smallest bears up close in a forest setting. Then you’ll head out for a river safari along the Kinabatangan, scanning the trees for proboscis monkeys, hornbills, crocodiles and pygmy elephants (if you’re lucky!). After your cruise, you return to the peaceful Borneo Sepilok Rainforest Resort, surrounded by fruit trees and jungle sounds. It’s the sweet spot: iconic wildlife, meaningful conservation context, and a relaxed rainforest stay - all in one short, easy trip.What to ExpectVisit the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and witness the feeding of orangutans.Get up close to the world's smallest bears at the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre.Embark on a Kinabatangan River cruise in search of wildlife, including proboscis monkeys, macaques, and pygmy elephants.Enjoy a stay at the Borneo Sepilok Rainforest Resort, surrounded by rambutan trees and other tropical fruits.Immerse yourself in the tranquility of the rainforest and enjoy the comforts of the resort's luxurious accommodations.Learn from knowledgeable and passionate guides who have a keen eye for wildlife and nature.
