Sepilok tours and packages

Updated August 2026

Every way to do Sepilok, from a half-day orangutan run out of Sandakan to the full three-day circuit down the Kinabatangan River. Every tour includes transport, a licensed guide and entrance fees, with accommodation and meals on overnight trips. Each one is priced by form so you get an itinerary and a number rather than a sales call. Pick the shape that fits your dates; we'll fill in the details. Not sure what you'll actually see on any of these? Read what you'll actually see — honest odds by species first.

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?

One daySandakanSepilok day trip, or Sepilok + Labuk Bay if proboscis monkeys matter and you're not going to the river.

What's always included

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. See the full cost breakdown behind these prices for every ringgit itemised.

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.
