Fantastic 2D1N tour! Sunset, night, sunrise cruises. Orangutans, proboscis monkeys, diverse wildlife. Expert guide Jum knew every species. Clean accommodation, great food. Optional cave visit. Bonus: orangutan sighting. Affordable tour by Hotspot! :)


"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!"

Thanks again for the very nice experience!”
