1. Nightwalk- just be there between 5-6pm. I saw the flying squirrel flew off from a tall tree twice though far away. Do bring binoculars. Definitely help in the sightseeing. In my trip i saw tarsier , kingfisher bird sleeping, slow lorris albeit far and flying squirrel. Also a pelanduk, not sure what you call them in english but is like a small deer. Spotting Tarsier was the best highlight. 2. At car park of RDC there were almost 9 hungry strays. I literally had to takaway 2 chicken rice , mix it with a packet of dog kibbles and fed them. The way they gobbled the food showed how hungry they were. Nearest convenience store is Fung Ming mini market. I got a huge loaf of bread and dog kibbles there, Is just 5 min drive. Highly recommended to travellers coming here to bring your breakfast or lunch leftover. Feed them and you can see their appreciation through their eyes

Excellent adventure through the rainforest. It's a terrific walk through the canopy on the skyway. There are towers for better views and numerous trails around and under the walkway. We saw a cute squirrel, and some beautiful birds. We took the trail to the giant Sepilok tree, not difficult but slightly slippery. We also took the lakeside trail and visited the museum. Our contact with the cafe was to get a couple of bottles of water, a must.

Visit in the daytime for lovely views of the rainforest and its bird-life and good well-marked walking tracks and do the excellent night walk to see some of the other wildlife here. Just two words of warning: wear proper clothing and enclosed shoes for the night walk which largely takes place on the forest floor where the mozzies and leeches love the damp.It was surprising how many people were in thongs! And despite lots of advice that Grab ride shares are a great way to get around Sepilok, which they are during the day, none operate at night. My daughter and I were stranded at the end of the night walk and faced a long walk back to our hotel in the dark.

We had two walks in the discovery center - one in the afternoon, and the other a night walk. I highly recommend the night walk - we saw a rare Tarsier (cutest animal on the planet) and flying squirrels. It's adjacent to the Sunbeaer and Orangutan rescue centers which are nearby and also quite worthwhile.

We visited this centre for a couple of hours and we absolutely loved our visit. There is a really well constructed pathway which allows you to walk through primary rainforest and there are sky towers / platforms that take you up in to the canopy. We saw orangutans and eagles as well as lots of monkeys and bird life. There are lots of routes you can take and we loved the aerial views from the sky towers. Really worth a visit and we would definitely recommend.

We were told to reserve the night walk as soon as we arrived in Sepilok and did so. Staff arrived at 6pm and spent 15 minutes organizing the 30 people into 3 groups of 10. This took 15 minutes. Then all set out a bit spaced for the skywalk to catch first attracton, the flying squirrels viewed from the hanging bridge. All 30 reassembled on the hanging bridge to watch, in addition to 20+ who had just waited around from the afternoon to also catch the spectacle. It was a veritable circus and detracted from the overall experience. The Giants red flying squirrels did perform on time about 630ish, and they were very impressive and the highlite of the walk. A turquise scorpion in the crack of a tree stump was unique, and we saw a small pit viper. The biggest disappointment was not seeing a Philippine slow Loris, cousin to the tarsiers who we had just seen a few weeks back in Bohol, Philippines.

We first visited the RDC for the night walk. This was a very exciting experience! BUT the main reason for writing this review is our experience during the day. I want to warn you to not take te giant sepilok bypass trail without a guide! According to the signs this was perfectly doable and wasn’t a part of the trail for which you needed a permit. We started walking this trail and quickly realized there wasn’t anyone else on this trail. We thought this was nice to avoid the noisy tourists and actually have a chance on seeing some wildlife. However, about 20 minutes into the trail we stumbled across a big ( BIG) alpha male macaque sitting in the middle of the path. We slowly backed away but it started following us, at this point we started to run. We are lucky that nothing happened to us as we were quite far away from anyone and we read reviews of other visitors coming across vicious troops. So i guess it could’ve been worse, but we definitely made the right decision by walking away. It was only when we left the park that we saw a sign (between a dozen of other signs) that warned about the alpha male and his macaque troop and what to do when meeting them. So the only thing i want to say is: if you’re planning on doing some of the more remote trails, just book a guide to avoid these kinds of situations.

This is a lovely canopy walk but in the middle of the day I don't think you are likely to spot any birds. The lake view is pleasant and the walk is not strenuous unless you climb the towers which would give a great opportunity for viewing at the right time of day. Mosquito repellent a must.

The best kept secret of the RDC is the Kabili trail. You can hike to a mangrove forest by the river and take a boat back. You can spend the night at the mangrove forest and hike back or take the boat. You can hire a guide and arrange for the boat at the main entrance. They need at least 1 days notice better to give them 2. The center is wonderful. You can stay all day. Better to go early in the morning and then come back late afternoon. Be sure to sign up for the night walk. It has a separate fee. I loved it here. I went back several times. You can hire a guide to take you through the towers to spot wildlife, birds, and plants. It’s so peaceful here. Be sure to hike to the Sepilok Tree. Stop by the cafe for a coconut. Drink the water then eat the meat. Make it two!

What a cool place to visit. I just love nature, and to see all the beautiful trees, flowers, plants, interesting birds, flying squirrels etc. on the canopy walk is a treat for me. Oh! The loud cicadas are too much. Also, the frogs can be in harmony with the cicadas😂. This is a perfect place to do my mindfulness walk. If you’re in Sabah, take your time to go here.
