Visit Sandakan, known as the gateway for ecotourism destinations in Sabah, such as the Sepilok Orang-Utan Sanctuary, Turtle Islands Park, and Gomantong Caves. Explore the Seligan Turtle Island, home and nesting ground to Green and Hawksbill turtles, its star attractions. The fascinating Sepilong Orang-Utan Sanctuary, located in the middle of the Sepilok Forest Reserve, is a sanctuary where young and orphan orang-utans are taught surviving skills before being set free to roam in the reserve. The Gomantong Caves, the largest cave system in Sabah, are home to over one million swiftlets. The swiftlets' nests are collected for the famous Chinese Delicacy, bird's nest soup.
