"People visit Sandakan for sanctuaries, wildlife, and WWII tributes. The town lacks appeal for Western travelers. Our hotel recommended this agency, and Mr. Lai, the owner, met us to plan our three-day trip. Though not cheap, we opted for the day trip to Sepilok, the Rain Forest Discovery Centre, and Labuk Bay. Not disappointed!"
