3D2N Sukau Rainforest Lodge- By Boat


Itinerary

Picture
DAY 1
Pick up from Sandakan City or Sandakan airport around 8am (recommended flight MH2042 BKI - SDK, landing 07.55am). You'll be greeted upon your arrival by your friendly Guide and Captain before you make your way to Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre where you'll learn about the plight of the Orang Utan and see firsthand the conservation efforts. Then proceed to watch a video about the plight of the Orang Utans and the rehabilitation efforts ongoing at the Centre. Walk ten minutes through the rainforest on wooden boardwalks to witness the feeding of the orang utans at 1000hrs before continuing to the newly completed enclosed nursery area for young orang utans. If the Orang Utans are feeling particularly friendly, you may even get the chance to get up close to the Orang Utan so be sure to hang onto your belongings. Thereafter visit the Borneo Sun Bear Conservation Centre to learn about conservation of the world's smallest bear.
After lunch, you will head to the Sandakan jetty where you will begin the 2½ hour speedboat journey up the Kinabatangan River to the multi award winning Sukau Rainforest Lodge. Don't worry as the ride is not choppy and it won't be just boat ride as there will be opportunities along the way to view wildlife and birds, and if you're lucky, even the shy Bornean Elephants. Cool down with a refreshing drink and cold towel upon arrival while you check-in. Take a few moments to savor afternoon tea before heading out into the wild on your first river safari. Every boat is equipped with eco friendly outboard engines (used along the main river where the current is strong) and electric motor (used during wildlife viewing in the small tributaries) in search of wildlife and birds. If you don't see a Proboscis monkey on your first river cruise, ask for a FREE Night Cruise on the lodge! Return for a solar heated hot shower after sunset before enjoying a candle light buffet dinner overlooking the mighty river. Dinner is followed by a slide show and interpretation by the in-house naturalist guide. Meals- L,D.

* Highly recommended: Night River Cruises can be added at the lodge.

DAY 2 
An early morning call at 0530hrs to catch the rainforest waking up is in store. After a light breakfast, you will embark on a morning river cruise in search of waking wildlife and birds which are most active in the morning on your way to the Kelenanap Ox-Bow lake. Return to a full breakfast, after which you will proceed for an educational walking tour along the lodge's Hornbill Boardwalk with the in-house naturalist followed by some time to relax. If you are looking for more to do, just enquire as there are different free activities on offer everyday. You can also feel free to explore the boardwalk at the back of the lodge. Who knows you may get lucky and spot an Orang Utan! After afternoon tea, head out onto the river once again in search of more wildlife, returning at sunset from your final river cruise. Meals- B, L, D.


DAY 3
After breakfast, return to Sandakan by boat. Enjoy a quick lunch before proceeding to the airport for the 1445hrs flight to Kota Kinabalu. For those who are taking the evening flight, you'll have time to visit the Rainforest Discovery Centre which has an impressive information center. Take a birds eye-view of the centre from the canopy walkway and tower before exploring the botanical gardens, home to various species of flora including orchids and agricultural plants. For those interested, you can then proceed to the Sandakan Memorial Park which is a memorial built to remember lost POWs during World War 2. Return to the Sandakan airport for your evening flight. Meals- B, L.
* We also offer transfers to/from Semporna or Lahad Datu, just let us know if this is where you are coming from or heading next.
