What To Expect
Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre
This centre was established in 1964 to help rehabilitate orangutans which had been orphaned. Just like a human baby, the orphaned young orangutan (which would normally live with its mother for 5-6 years) needs to be taught how to cope in the wild, while its health is carefully monitored during rehabilitation.
Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre
Visit the world’s smallest Sun Bear at the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Center at Sepilok, adjacent to Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre. The centre opened in 2014 and aims to increase public awareness and release back into the forest individuals which can be rehabilitated or are still “wild”. To date, there are about 44 rescued ex-captive sunbears residing at the centre.The centre is equipped with key facilities including an observation platform, boardwalk and a visitor centre.

1.00Viator tours was one hour late, and didn’t answer our calls or texts. From pickup until we was back at the hotel took two and a half hours. We paid 347 dollars for 4 persons. From Sandakan you can take a taxi, pay for the entrance and then it will cost you 32 dollars for 4 persons. It is rude to charge THAT much for a tour. My advice: go by taxi, it’s very simple and you can stay at the park for more than an hour.
