Gilwell Scouts Nature Park Sandakan is a lush, forested reserve that offers a range of outdoor adventures for nature lovers. The park features well-marked jungle trails that wind through secondary rainforest, leading to viewpoints and small streams. Visitors can hike, birdwatch, or simply immerse themselves in the sounds of the jungle. The park is also used for scout training and team-building activities, with facilities like a canopy walkway and camping grounds. It's a great place to spot hornbills, monkeys, and other wildlife in a relatively undeveloped setting.
Don't miss
- Hike the main trail to a viewpoint overlooking the Sandakan Bay and surrounding rainforest.
- Cross the canopy walkway for a bird's-eye view of the forest and chances to see hornbills.
- Look for long-tailed macaques, monitor lizards, and a variety of bird species along the trails.
