Fantastic Sandakan Day Trip

Published on Jan, 2025

Fantastic day trip to Sandakan! We had a private tour guide and car who personalised and customised the tour to the things we had prioritised. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and was born and raised in the city. They brought us to an exceptional lunch spot and picked us up and dropped us off at the airport. Couldn’t fault the whole experience! I look forward to going back!

We did not do an organised tour, we just had a taxi driver take us around and paid our own entrance fees, he was fantastic, you can definitely do all 3 in a day, If you go to the morning session at the Orangutan Park, and miss seeing the Larger ones in the wild, you can return for the afternoon session using the same ticket and give it another try, You will almost certainly see a sun bear, but the Rainforest Discovery park can really use up time if you are interested as there is a lot of walking options. You can always go back the next day. Joe - Sydney Aust

Orang utan trip

It was an amazing day. The guide and the driver were both really good . We saw far more wildlife than we had expected

So much better than being part of a big tour group!!

Published on Jul, 2024

So much better than a big tour group! Mr Ray sent us a msg the night before to confirm our flight and arrival time. We arrived at the airport, met him outside at our agreed meeting point and off we went. His car was clean, he was friendly and knowledgeable. We caught the early flight from KK, so had time to stop off at local bakery! They only took cash, which is something to consider if you want to go to the true local places, not all of the venues have an eftpos machine. It was cheap and delicious and so nice to hang with the locals. We got the the Orangutan Sanctuary before the tour buses, so also got the prime positions to view these beautiful animals. Two had little babies, they were very playful, it was wonderful to watch. We also saw the sun bears and got to buy our souvenirs at the gift shop. Tshirts were a bit on the small side but, they don’t take refunds or exchanges, so check the sizes. The rainforest centre and the viewing platforms were also worth the visit. Lots of bird photographers hoping for that special shot. Lunch was also delicious, a small buffet but, the food was great. We had some time to kill before our flight back so we went up the hill to a Buddhist temple. The views were amazing. Thank you so much Mr Rey, we had a wonderful time and hope to come again with the other half of our family!

Fabulous !

Highlight of a one month trip in Malaysia and Indonesia! I did a round trip (via plane ) from Kota Kinabalu and Sandarkan in one day. Agus picked me up from the airport with our guide Azies. Azies was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He pointed out orangutan nests I never noticed. He is knowledgeable about plants , birds, monkeys , bears , really the entire ecosystem! It was fascinating to be right in front of orangutans in the wild , sun bears , proboscis monkeys as well as macaque monkeys and other animals. Both Azies and Agus are true professional ! Recommend doing proboscis monkey add on !
