Spend 3 days at a remote Kinabatangan jungle camp with boat cruises, forest walks, local meals, and chances to see orangutans and crocodiles.

“the guides were very nice, and informed us about a lot of the things we got to see. In the night walk i managed to spot a pangolin which was unbelievable. the driver on the way back wasn’t the best tho. He drove 40/50km/h the whole way which caused the drive to take twice as long as needed.”

4.Mangrove Cruise with Fireflies Tour Including Dinner from Sandakan

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 25 reviews · from $64Best value

Sandakan sunset, mangrove wildlife, fireflies, village activities, and a local seafood dinner make this a strong-value evening tour.

“Cruising down the river in the dark was quite amazing. Not many fireflies out and we did not spend time with the village kids or throw pots so that was a bit disappointing. The food was plentiful and delicious, even the doughnuts at the start! As there was no sunset due to weather the island was superfluous so this should be reconsidered if it rains.”
