— What You Can Expect —
Make your next escape to Sandakan to enjoy nature at its best. After a
convenient pick-up at the Sandakan Airport or your hotel lobby, the driver
will take you to Sabah Parks Jetty for a one-hour speedboat ride to Selingan
Turtle Island, a safe haven for green and hawksbill turtles. Once you've
checked into the island's charming and rustic accommodation, you're free to
spend the rest of the day exploring this tiny island. Take leisure walks
across the pristine beaches, lie down for a little sunbathing, or jump right
into the sea for a snorkel around the nearby reefs (equipment rental at your
own expense). The magic happens after dinner — the Park Ranger will guide to
the nesting site to see mother turtles coming to beach to lay their eggs.
Watch as the eggs are then collected to be put into a safe hatchery, and don't
miss the chance to witness mature hatchlings being released into the sea.
After an unforgettable day and night at Selingan Island, it's time to return
to the mainland to enjoy a guided tour of Sandakan's most popular places, the
Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation
Centre. Meet, watch, and even get the chance to feed cuddly orangutans in a
protected natural environment as they go through rehabilitation before
returning to the forest life. Learn about the smallest bear species in the
world, the sun bear, and discover how you can help improve animal welfare and
raise awareness about this adorable, furry creature.
