Borneo Eastern Wildlife Adventure

Today you will fly to Kuching. You will be welcomed on arrival at Kuching Airport and transferred to your hotel for check in. 

Kuching, the capital of Sarawak, is simply unique. No other city in Malaysia has such a romantic and unlikely history, nor displays its charms with such an easy grace. The residents of Kuching enjoy living here, and take great pride in their fascinating city, which is reflected in their attitude to visitors. Visit Bako and the rainforest and then relax on the beach after the rigours of jungle trekking.

The tour starts and departs in the morning to Bako National Park.  It takes about half an hour to the fishing village of Bako to board the boat to the Park headquarters.  Bako is the oldest gazette national park in Sarawak.  It offers the perfect introduction to Sarawak flora and fauna.  The 16 square kilometers of primary forests is home to seven distinct ecosystems;  beach vegetation, cliff vegetation, mangrove, peat swamp forests, mixed dipterocarp forest, heath forest and grasslands.  Constant erosion over millions of years has turned the Bako coastline into a unique geographical landmark.  Cliff faces, sandstone structures, sea stacks and pristine sandy beaches dot the area.  Wildlife thriving in the area includes the rather intrusive long tailed macaques which roam all over and their shier cousins, the silver leaf monkeys and the long-nosed, and the unusual potbellied Proboscis Monkeys.  Other denizens include flying lemur, mouse deer, bearded pigs, bats, tarsiers, slow loris and palm civet cats.  Lunch served at Bako Canteen,then proceed to the famous sea stack before returning to Kuching City.

Orangutans and tribal cultures are two of the highlights of any trip to Borneo. Start with semi-wild orangutans at Semenggoh Nature Reserve, a rehabilitation facility that helps orphaned and rescued primates return to the wild. Then witness the traditional arts, crafts, and dances of Sarawak's seven main ethnic groups at Sarawak Cultural Village. See semi-wild orangutans swing out of the jungle to feed on fresh fruit Admire the unique arts, costumes, and architecture of seven ethnic groups Watch a multicultural dance performance at Sarawak Cultural Village

Today you will fly to Kota Kinabalu. Kota Kinabalu is a hustling and bustling city situated strategically on the West Coast of the Malaysian state of Sabah. Locals here often refer to Kota Kinabalu as ‘KK’ in short. KK is also the gateway to one of Southeast Asia’s tallest mountains, Mount Kinabalu. Apart from KK’s majestic beauty, be spoiled for choices as KK also offers a wide range of food selection. On arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel in ‘KK’ and the rest of the day is at leisure.

Take a boat ride towards Tunku Abdul Rahman Park within 15-20 minutes and arrive at the Island. Be mesmerized by the colorful fishes transparent by the crystal clear blue sea and vast greeneries surrounding the Island.

The island is furnished with changing rooms, toilets, picnic shelters and tables for recreational use. Just relax under the sun or enjoy the white sandy beach with sandcastles or go snorkeling and look for beautiful corals and fishes.

Kinabalu National Park is located some 2 hours from Kota Kinabalu.  The journey takes on meandering mountain road with spectacular views of the Crocker Range.

This is probably the most spectacular national park in Malaysia.  The star attraction, without a doubt, goes to the famed granite-clad Mount Kinabalu which officially stands at 4, 092 metres above sea level (though previously thought to have an elevation of 4, 101 metres).

The park headquarters boast quite a number of short hiking trails to enjoy the variety of plant species of the park.  The biodiversity of this park is so impressive that Kinabalu National Park was accorded the UNESCO World Heritage Site status.

Next stop is Poring, 40km east of Mount Kinabalu, where visitors go for the Poring Hot Spring and Nature Reserve which houses both open-air and private cabin baths whose water contains sulphur that is known for its skin-curative properties.  Canopy walk 40m high, nature trails, waterfall and gardens are to be explored.

Today you will fly to Sandakan. On arrival, your private guide will accompany you for your hotel check-in.

The Labuk Bay Sanctuary is about an hour drive from Sandakan airport and 20km west of Sepilok, it is located at the centre of mangrove forest along the coastal land near Kampung Semawang.

This hidden gem is perfect for sitting back and watching the primates without getting in the way of some cameras. You will have the chance at this sanctuary to share in this special world by viewing the groups of Proboscis monkeys feeding by park rangers from the platform.

It offers exhilarating and memorable experience observing the monkeys both family groups and bachelor groups leaping from tree to tree and eventually coming down to feed on young leaves and plant.

The Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary was set up in 1964 in the 4, 300 hectare Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve which is looked after by the Wildlife Department of Sabah. The main reason for this center is to rehabilitate orphaned baby orangutans who have been either captured as pets or found without their mothers.
