The Lodge, built appropriately from local materials, consists of wooden huts built on stilts are typical to this area. Its 35 twin rooms with attached bathroom offer comfortable accommodation whilst the central dining area and a bar with a river facing view provides an ideal setting for dining and relaxing.
Sandakan offers another unique wildlife experience on the Selingan Turtle Island, 40 km north of Sandakan, in the Sulu Sea. Green turtles come up nightly to the shore of this island to lay their eggs. As this occurs every night, newly born turtle hatchlings can be seen going to the sea nightly.
The Libaran Island Lodge is appropriately located on the Libaran Island just next to Selingan Turtle Island. It is the ideal jump off point to see the turtle at Selingan Island. The Lodge consists of wooden beach huts with an excellent view of the sea is built from Nippa Palm leave materials found locally. Its 25 twin rooms with attached bathroom offers extremely comfortable accommodation on the beach ideal for "total-switch off" and "away-from it all" relaxation. Alternatively, snorkelling trips, boat trips to the mangrove forest, jungle trekking at nearby island to see wildlife, village walk and night fishing can be easily arranged from the Lodge.
The Wildlife Mountain Lodge located at the foot of the majestic Mount Kinabalu Park (6000 feet above sea level) is truly a place to experience the true meaning of tranquility and peace as time seems to stand still in this wonderful natural environment. Patterned after the Sukau River Lodge at the lower Kinabatangan River, it offers the same high class facilities-spacious and elegantly decorated 23 twin rooms with attached bathroom and heating. It organises excellent field trips to the nearby Kinabalu Park and Poring Hot Spring with well marked nature trails to see the wild Orchids, pitcher plants, numerous different rhododendrons, ferns, mosses and the numerous species of plants that are found in this Park. The bird life is equally fascinating with most species being montane including a number of endemics.
The summit of Mount Kinabalu can be conquered with a minimum of one night stay at Laban Rata (11,000 feet above sea level) and passing through different vegetation zones starting with the Montane Oak, Rhododendrons and Conifer Forest and the ultra basic zone. It is in this eerie atmosphere that the Carnivorous pitcher plant thrives on the forest floor. This vegetation disappears in the summit zone where only the hardy alpine meadow plants are able to cling to the bare windswept rock.
