Our trip was one of the most experienced tours I have ever done Our tour guide James and drive from magunatip holidays ( via TripAdvisor) were fantastic Rating them 10/10 The work that goes into the orangutan sanctuary do amazing work
This is a great tour to see the 3 major animals in this region of North Borneo. We were lucky enough to see an orangutan walk his way from the jungle to the orangutan nursery right before their feeding time! The babies with their mothers were already in the nursery. Then we headed towards the proboscis monkeys for their feeding time! We saw the alpha male with his harem of females and babies. The sun bears were next, there were several of them pacing around but unfortunately none of them showed us their natural necklaces or collars! We got to see the oriental pied hornbills and the Bornean black squirrels too! Then we ended with a city tour of Sandakan. Mica was a good guide, she took us to these places at the right times! We thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Would definitely recommend it.
