Sandakan: 2D1N Sukau Rainforest Wildlife Journey and Cruises

Amazing.

The experience was fantastic, we stayed at a local family's home and they treated us phenomenally, dinner and breakfast with typical local food. During the two cruises we saw every animal possible, monkeys, crocodiles, orangutans, and elephants.
