Sandakan and Orang Utan Sanctuary from Kota Kinabalu

Enjoy a full day sightseeing in the world's largest Orang Utan Sanctuary. Early morning, board a plane for historic Sandakan, one of Sabah's earliest settlements, where you can visit the Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary. At this sanctuary, young, orphaned or captured Orang Utans are gradually rehabilitated into the wild and offer an opportunity to see orang utans up close in their natural habitat. A boardwalk leads to a viewing gallery and feeding platform where the orang utans are fed twice a day. Lunch at a local restaurant followed by a tour of Sandakan, visit the Sandakan Market, Observation Pavilion, Chinese Temple and Water Village before returning to Kota Kinabalu.
