Day 1
Start with an early morning transfer to Sandakan seafront from
airport/hotel. Board a speedboat for the 1 hour journey to Selingan
Island. Check-in and relax before lunch. Enjoy the sun, sea and sand
or snorkel around the island. Learn more about the green turtle as the huge adults
come on shore to perform a ritualistic scene for their egg-laying.
Later help the Rangers release newly-hatched turtles from the nursery.
Overnight on the Island's
Resthouse (photo size: 28KB).
After breakfast, journey back to Sandakan for your transfer to the Sepilok
Orang Utan Sanctuary. Experience the complexity of being in a tropical
rainforest and witness the rehabilitation program being undertaken for the
orang utans at this centre.
Lunch will be provided, followed by a tour of
Sandakan visiting the central market, a Chinese temple with a panoramic view
of the Sandakan harbour and city. Transfer to airport/hotel at the end of
the tour.
