Sandakan Nature Discovery Tour

2 day 1 night from MYR 925

Turtle Island Park – located approximately 40 kilometres north of Sandakan – is a collection of three tropical islands. Pulau Selingan, Pulau Bakungan Kecil and Pulau Gulisan span out over an area of 1,740 hectares which includes surrounding coral reefs and waters and has thus proven to be a protected environment out of harm’s way, where turtles can lay their eggs safe and sound.

This island is for all intents and purposes, a safe haven for turtle species in danger of extinction, such as the Green Turtles and the Hawksbill Turtles, who have made this spot their personal sanctuary during egg-laying season. Selingan, the biggest island in the marine park, is the most urbanized and houses a turtle hatchery, standard visitor’s amenities and a visitor’s centre.

- 1 breakfast, 2 lunches and 1 dinner

Exclusions:
