It’s no surprise that spending time exploring jungles and rainforests leads to some epic wildlife encounters. You’ll see many different species as you walk around but a visit to the Sun Bear Conservation Centre and the Orangutan Rehabilitation Sanctuary will give you an insight into the importance of conservation efforts here. You could also watch feeding time – a truly special treat!

2. Rainforest exploration

Borneo's rainforest is one of the oldest in the world and is home to an incredible amount of different species of plant and wildlife. Visit the Rainforest Discovery Centre for guided walks and activities or take a boat trip for a memorable way to spot some of the animals in the treetops.

3. Zip wire

The Coral Flyer is the longest island-to-island zip wire in the world. Spanning a distance of 250m, not only is this a thrilling adventure, but it also gives you the ultimate view of the stunning marine park, Tungku Abdul Rahman Park.

4. Snorkelling and diving

The surrounding coral reefs are a haven for marine life and there is no better way to experience it than by joining the animals underwater. Snorkel or dive in these crystal-clear waters for your chance to see an array of fish, sea turtles and stingrays.
