First of all, there is no shop to buy the SIM card in Sandakan Airport, the nearest place is 7/11 which is in 5 min by taxi. Next stage of the quest is that you will need to ask someone to share the Wi-Fi with you since you must register your SIM card by yourself online. Perhaps, buying the SIM card in Kota Kinabalu will be the best option. If you are going to Sukau area, do not consider buying U Mobile SIM card - it will not work there completely. I would not recommend to have a food at any of restaurants at the seafront: meals will be overpriced and in most of the cases not even edible. Tours to Bornean bear and orangutan parks will be at least 3x cheaper for you than suggested by TripAdvisor if you will just use Grab taxi to reach it: both parks are located at the same place. Firefly tour is also costly and not really impressive: do not expect to see too much, if you cannot resist to go there. Pasir Putih Beach could be nice place if the beach was visible under the layers of garbage. Don't recommend to waste your time for it. There are a lot of beggar kids at the central area. I don't know if they can steal anything, but I guess it makes sense to be careful.

Sandakan is not a city brimming with character and charm.
Sandakan is not a city brimming with character and charm. It is OK and you can find a small number of nice enough places to eat and drink, if you set your mind to it. I would not want to have stayed there more than one day and I won’t be going back anytime soon.

We used Sandakan as the gateway to Turtle Island and the Kinabatangan River. We had lunch in a central hotel which was fine, not a lot for vegetarians but the service was good. We could have spent a little longer there, it seems easy to get around.

Great little town, wouldn’t spend more than a day or two here unless you were using as a base to go and see the orangutans and rainforest discovery centre or island tours. Great water front dinners. Shopping mall and grocery store close to water front. Nice vibe.WendyAustralia - 8.0Scored 8.0
It’s my home town and I have lots of fond memories.
It’s my home town and I have lots of fond memories. Fresh seafood paradise and amazing mixed cuisine with traditional Chinese, Malaysian food and Indian dishes. Everything in the food market is super cheap and fresh. The town centre is looking undeveloped and unloved.PeaseUnited Kingdom - 4.0Scored 4.0

Not much to do in the town or much to see and nowhere very nice places to eat/drink. Unfortunately it is quite run down so book a decent hotel to stay in and make the most of the experiences available in the area.NormaUnited Kingdom

- 9.0Scored 9.0WonderfulRated wonderful· 413 reviewsThe location is incredible. Only 20 min from Sandakan and less than 5 minutes walking from the Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary as well as the Sun Bear sanctuary. The staff is incredibly kind and the food is excellent. The hotel is located in a beautiful natural environment, surrounded by a lake. The pictures don't do it justice. To get to fall asleep listening to the frogs, the crickets and nature was a true gift!GabrielaSolo traveler
