2D1N Stay at Sepilok Jungle Resort with Sepilok Wlidlife Tour in Sandakan

Unfortunately, the forest resort was fully booked, so we switched to the Sandakan Hotel, which meant we couldn't experience the jungle atmosphere. The first day of the itinerary started with airport pickup at 7:30 AM, picking up other group members along the way. In the morning, we watched the orangutan feeding show and sun bear feeding within the park, which involved a lot of walking. We had lunch at the Banana Cafe, where we could upgrade our drinks for an additional charge. In the afternoon, we visited the Rainforest Discovery Centre, learning about local bird species, frogs, plants, and their history. The center had many specimens of beetles, butterflies, snakes, and more; it was a small exhibition hall but packed with rich resources. Afterward, we went on a rainforest hike, actually walking through the jungle to look for small creatures. During the hike, the guide asked us which route we preferred and helped us take photos. This part lasted about an hour, and we listened to the guide's explanations along the way. They were enthusiastic in answering any questions we had. We arrived at our accommodation around 3 PM to rest. In the evening, we had dinner at the hotel, and breakfast was provided the next morning. Although there weren't many choices, it saved us the trouble of deciding what to eat. The next day was just the airport drop-off. It's a shame we couldn't spend more time exploring the forest resort, but overall, it was still a good experience.

lovely tour guide Mr thorp very knowledgeable and it was lovely to see the orangutans in there own habitat and seeing the sunbears.The rainforest walk was lovely and walking over the skywalk bridge and seeing all the animals that are in there.The sepilok jungle resort is lovely and the meals are very nice

We wouldn’t stay at the resort again. Getting from the airport was simple and easy with a great guide and driver. We loved the day out and got to see a lot of what we wanted to see. The resort was pretty run down and gross. Our bathroom wasn’t even cleaned when we got put into our room. The food was pretty poor, curry was edible but the rest was shocking. Just eat the fruit.
