Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary

Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary is located at the center of the mangrove forest along the coastal land near Samawang Village in Labuk Bay, Sandakan, Sabah. It is 38km away from the airport of Sandakan and takes about an hour to get there. Besides observing the monkeys, visitors are able to bird-watch on the observation platform provided. Rare birds such as the Oriental Pied Hornbills are often spotted among the dense mangrove forest (http://www.proboscis.cc/).
