Highlights
- Walk along the scenic canopy walkway at Poring Hot Springs, followed by a refreshing dip in the natural waters. Then, spend the night at a tea plantation.
- Stay among the birds and beasts of the jungle, right next to an oxbow lake, at Kinabatangan Eco Camp and fall asleep to the sounds of cicadas.
- Visit the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and, if you're lucky, watch baby orangutans learn to swing in a special enclosure.
- Cruise along Kinabatangan River at sunset, looking out for macaques, wild orangutan and proboscis monkeys.
- Watch protected turtle hatchlings scatter across the beach to the water under the cover of night – this is a special opportunity to see baby turtles in their natural habitat, but make sure you listen to your guides as this is a sensitive and fragile area!

Asked on September 16th, 2025I am a solo traveler that would like to join the tour departing 10/25. Is it possible to get into that group?
Intrepid TravelOperator•Written September 2025This particular trip is designed for adults and children travelling together, and there must be at least one child under 18 in the booking. As you're travelling solo, you wouldn't be able to join this departure — but I'd be happy to suggest some similar tours for solo adult travellers if you're open to it.
