Discover our rain forest from the ground and the treetops!!

With the rain forest just about 8 miles away from Sandakan Airport, and only 24 km (14 miles) from Sandakan town, it is probably the most accessible rain forest in Sabah!

Here, you can discover the rain forest from the treetops (along a 343 m-long Canopy Walkway) and from the ground (along our network of trails and paths)!

The Canopy Walkway

The Canopy Walkway is about 343 m long with 2 towers (named Bristlehead and Trogon respectively) and a single-column shelter. It is the first of its kind in the country and one of few of such structures in the world!

The Walkway is 2 m wide and about 25 m high at its highest point. It is made very sturdy to cater to large crowds.

It provides additional opportunities for nature education, birding and photography, thereby adding value to the overall experience of visitors.

Visitor Building

The Visitor Building houses a multi-purpose hall, a Muslim prayer room, offices, toilets, EE Activity Hall, toilets and an exhibition hall.

The exhibition focuses on the flora and fauna of Sabah. For plants, the postes cover a wide range of topics, from various plant groups, adaptations to forest types.

The section on animals is mainly about the more iconic and well-known groups of mammals in Sabah, such as the Bornean pygmy elephant, primates, cats and deer. There are also information on reptiles and the main groups of birds.

Rainforest Discovery Trails

The Rainforest Discovery Trails is a network of nature trails that provides easy access into the forest.

Numerous interpretive panels along the trail describe the unique features of the natural forest and its inhabitants. Night walks along the trails also offer a chance to see wildlife, such as slow lorises, tarsiers, mouse deer and civet cats, and interesting insects such as stick insects.
