Which Sepilok tour?
Three questions decide it. How many days do you have on the east coast? Where are you starting from? And do you want wild wildlife, guaranteed wildlife, or both?
| You have | Starting from | Do this |
|---|
| Half a day | Sandakan | Sepilok half day: 10:00 feeding and sun bears, back by 13:00. |
| One day | Sandakan | Sepilok day trip, or Sepilok + Labuk Bay if proboscis monkeys matter and you're not going to the river. |
| One day | Kota Kinabalu | Fly early; Sepilok from KK as a long day, or better, stay one night for the RDC night walk. |
| Two days | Anywhere | Sepilok overnight (both feedings, sun bears, RDC canopy walk and night walk) or a short 2D1N Kinabatangan add-on. |
| Three days | Anywhere | Sepilok & Kinabatangan 3D2N. The one most people book, for good reason. |
| Four or more | Anywhere | Add Gomantong, Turtle Islands, or continue to Danum Valley or Tabin from Lahad Datu — see how these tours fit a full Sabah week. |
What's always included
Private air-conditioned vehicle, an English-speaking licensed Sabahan guide, all entrance and camera fees at every centre on the itinerary, lodge accommodation and meals where stated, and the RDC night walk where stated. Flights are quoted separately so you can use points or your own bookings. No fixed group departures: you go on your dates, with your group. See the full cost breakdown behind these prices for every ringgit itemised.
What's never included
International flights, travel insurance, alcoholic drinks, tips, and anything marked optional. We'll tell you before you confirm if a fee has changed; we don't add it afterwards.
How booking works
Fill in the form below with dates, starting point and who's coming. Within one working day you get a day-by-day itinerary, a total price, the resort or lodge options, and our Sepilok & Kinabatangan planning PDF. Change anything you like. When you're happy, pay a deposit to confirm; balance before travel. Everything by email; no phone calls unless you want one.
Doing Sepilok without a tour
Entirely possible, and we say so on every page. If you're staying in Sepilok, the three centres are walkable and you only need a tour for Labuk Bay, the Kinabatangan, Gomantong or Turtle Islands, none of which is practical solo. If you're on a tight flight schedule out of KK, or you'd rather not negotiate a return taxi at the orangutan gate at 16:00, a tour earns its keep on the logistics alone. Our getting here and where to stay pages are written for independent visitors too.
