Details About Sandakan

Destinations » Asia » Southeast Asia » Sandakan


This Malaysian coastal trading town was once the capital of the province of Sabah. Surrounded by thickly jungled mountains where wild orchids grow, it serves as a loading port for the rich tropical hardwoods found in the interior of Borneo. About 15 miles from Sandakan, Sepilok is the home of the famous orangutan sanctuary, one of the few places in the world where you can see these animals in their natural setting.

Attractions

Sandakan is known as the gateway for ecotourism destinations in Sabah, such as the Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary, Labuk Bay Proboscis Sanctuary, Turtle Islands Park, Kinabatangan River and Gomantong Caves.

Currency

The currency used in Sandakan is the Malaysian Ringgit (RM).
