DAY 01: ARRIVAL SANDAKAN – SELINGAN ISLAND (Lunch / Dinner)

Meet and greet upon arrival at Sandakan Airport or your hotel in Sandakan. Proceed to the jetty for an approximately 1-hour boat ride to Selingan Turtle Island, located 40 km north of Sandakan in the Sulu Sea off Sabah’s east coast. Selingan Island is the main nesting ground for Green Turtles and Hawksbill Turtles.

Upon arrival, check in to your basic accommodation and enjoy lunch at the cafeteria (served from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM). After lunch, enjoy free time at leisure. You may stroll along the beach, sunbathe, swim, or snorkel (at own cost). If weather permits, you may also catch a beautiful sunset.

The Parks Exhibition Hall opens at 6:30 PM, where you will watch an informative video presentation. Dinner is served at the cafeteria at 7:30 PM.

The turtle conservation program begins after dinner. Be prepared, as the park ranger will alert guests when a mother turtle comes ashore to lay eggs. Upon announcement, visitors will follow the ranger quietly to the nesting site to witness the turtle laying her eggs. The eggs will then be collected by the ranger and replanted at the hatchery.

If there are hatchlings on the same night, you will also have the opportunity to witness and participate in the release of baby turtles into the sea—an unforgettable experience.

Overnight at Selingan Turtle Island Chalet.
