Rainforest Discovery Centre

Educational nature walks

What we say:

Just a 20-minute walk from the Sepilok Orangutan Centre, this government-run forest reserve is the perfect place to learn about tropical plants and enjoy a nature walk away from the tourist hordes.

You could spend half a day here trekking the market trails, or breeze through the highlights like the orchid garden and 25-metre high canopy walkway in an hour. There are also educational gardens with medicinal plants and rainforest crops.

Quiet trekkers stand a good chance of seeing giant squirrels and hornbills plus, if you're lucky, orangutans. The best time to visit is early in the morning before the sun is at its hottest. The visitor centre has exhibits on Borneo wildlife plus a cafe, toilets and a prayer room.

Rating (out of 10):

Please note reviews are now pre moderated. Not all reviews will be published and submissions may be edited for clarity, typos and style before they appear. Ranting tirades, spam and anything else that really belongs somewhere else won't make the cut. If you want to rant, go to Thorntree.
